Japan Holiness Church, Tokyo Chuo ChurchTokyo

As the name implies, a "concerto" is a piece in which the solo instrument and orchestra "cooperate" and "play" together, and it is the flower of instrumental music.
In the Baroque period of the 17th and 8th centuries, concertos existed for all instruments, including violin concertos and harpsichord concertos,
Concertos were also composed for the recorder, a popular instrument at the time, throughout Europe.
 In England, where the recorder was very popular, the D-tube soprano recorder, called the small flute, appeared, and several composers, including William Babel, left beautiful concertos for this instrument. J.S. Bach's "Recorder Concerto in D major" is his cantata BWV 169 and BWV 49, The work is arranged from his harpsichord concerto BWV 1053 and is performed on the A recorder.
 Enjoy the unique recorder concertos by four composers, as well as the Quartet Sonata and Trio Sonata for string ensemble!
