About this CD

Wilbert Hazelzet’s legendary poetry on the flute has been one of Glossa’s trademarks for many years. With this double reissue of his J.S. Bach recordings, the label recovers Hazelzet at his best: on the one hand, he re-imagines what Bach’s output for the solo flute could have been, by combining the Flute Partita with his own transcriptions of three Cello (!) Suites, and on the other, he teams up with his year-long artistic partner Jacques Ogg (on the harpsichord) to give us yet more transcriptions of Bach’s everlasting ouput. Here’s a recording for eternity.
