JOHANN CHRISTIAN BACH (1735-1782)

Flute Quartets, Op. 19

Really beautiful and extremely rare chamber music, but one of the most exquisite that can be heard, on the border between Rococo and Clasicism, with delicate and precious textures and melodies. Music which is pure decoration and sensitivity, in a quasi pre-mozartian style.
