Simply and sincerely yet boldly and freely, the Duo Azar has juxtaposed transcriptions of two sonatas for flute and harpsichord by Bach with sonatas for oboe and piano and for horn (or saxophone) and piano and the rare Trio by Hindemith – for whom Bach was a source of inspiration.

Without for a moment rejecting the original instrumentation, Wenjiao Wang and Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach are convinced that their modern instruments can often work marvellously well in Bach’s music.
