about

On her first solo recording Bach: Flute sonatas she is joined by fellow Postscript members Artem Belogurov (harpsichord and clavichord) and Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde (cello). Recorded in the beautiful setting of the Waalse Kerk in the heart of Amsterdam, this authentic recording is an ode to J.S. Bach's work for flute, both in performance and recording.

“Any time I have been asked what I want to play for my first solo recording, I have felt torn. From an early age and throughout my career, I’ve loved unearthing and programming lesser-known repertoire. What could be more satisfying than ‘rediscovering’ something beautiful, but largely forgotten, and being able to give it a new life? To bring it to a new audience?...

…In the end, it came down to a simple calculation: I could do all that – or I could just record Bach... My love affair with the music of J.S. Bach began early and shows no sign of abating…

…These four sonatas, often referred to as the ‘authentic’ sonatas, as we know with certainty that J.S. Bach penned them, are the cornerstone of my musical career.” – Aysha Wills
