When Johann Sebastian Bach taught Johann Gottlieb Goldberg – one of his most gifted pupils – he likely drew on the same organ trios that had already shaped his sons' musical development. In Bach’s time, the trio sonata was regarded as the ultimate test of a composer’s skill. As the principal form of chamber music in the 17th and 18th centuries, it now lies at the heart of Ensemble Diderot’s repertoire. The ensemble’s four musicians are tireless in their search through library catalogues, having built an impressive collection of works. Along the way, they uncover forgotten treasures which, in this programme, stand alongside some of the genre’s most iconic masterpieces. Together, these works offer a vivid and nuanced portrait of Germany’s chamber music scene during Bach’s era – a musical landscape remarkably open to new ideas and foreign influences.
