About the album

On this album flutist Jed Wentz and harpsichord player Christiane Wuyts present all flute sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Prachtige fluitmuziek van Bach
Dit album bevat alle sonates voor fluit van Johann Sebastian Bach. De Amerikaanse fluitist Jed Wentz weet er wel raad mee. De bevlogen fluitist speelt in deze opname de sterren van de hemel en laat het werk van Bach klinken zoals het hoort.

De Amerikaan Jed Wentz (1960) begon zijn carrière als fluitist, maar richtte zich geleidelijk aan meer op het dirigentschap. Na zijn studie moderne en klassieke fluit aan het Oberlin conservatorium in Ohio, vertrok Wentz naar Nederland. Daar vervolgde hij zijn studie bij Barthold Kuijken aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, waar hij in 1985 zijn solistendiploma behaalde. Hij trad als solist regelmatig op in de Verenigde Staten en Europa en had optredens met gerenommeerde ensembles als Antiqua Köln en Les Musiciens du Louvre. In 1992 richtte hij zijn eigen gezelschap op: Musica ad Rhenum (Muziek aan de Rijn). Een groep die zich vooral wijdt aan het herscheppen van de virtuoze en expressieve uitvoeringen van 18e-eeuwse kamermuziek. Het ensemble treedt op in concertseries van het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, in Amerika en op festivals in Europa.

Maar Wentz doet meer, hij is docent en onderzoeker. Zijn muzikale ontdekkingen communiceert hij niet alleen via zijn optredens, maar ook in lezingen en artikelen. Hij geeft les aan het conservatorium in Amsterdam en Den Haag en is ook regelmatig gastdocent aan de beroemde Juilliard School in New York. Ook handig, hij spreekt Engels, Nederlands, Frans en Duits.

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
