The Sinfonia in D major, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is possibly one of Bach’s most surprising compositions. According to the manuscript, it is an ‘Intrada’, an instrumental introduction to what was probably a festive cantata. However, there is no trace whatsoever of the vocal parts. This sinfonia is therefore doomed to remain an independent instrumental movement.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 13th 2017 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel [ Ссылка ] or consider donating [ Ссылка ].
