Johann Sebastian Bach, though largely unaffected by the trends of his time, reimagined many older forms with striking originality, shaping the course of Western music.

Following their acclaimed first album dedicated to Corelli’s Sonatas Op. 5, Teodoro Baù and Andrea Buccarella now present their second duo recording: the Sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord by J.S. Bach, each revealing a unique stylistic approach within a unified form.

As a leader of country-western music, Luke Bell's time on the throne was short. He released one official album during his lifetime, delivering a mix of honky-tonk shuffles and Bakersfield barnburners in a voice as magnetic as his own personality. He toured briefly, graduating from career-launching gigs in the dive bars of Austin and Nashville to bucket-list shows opening for Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam. And then he disappeared from the public eye to privately wage a war with the mental illness that eventually claimed his life. He was just 32 years old.
