Rebecca Troxler Plays Flute Music By the Sons of Bach
Rebecca Troxler (flute), David Schulenberg (fortepiano), Brent Wissick (cello), Steven Lubin (piano), Sandra Miller (flute), Gesa Kordes (viola), Barbara Blaker Krumdieck (cello), Andrew Willis (fortepiano)
The five works on the first disc are by two of the sons of J.S. Bach, and all are examples of what were known at the time as trios. Yet they are a diverse group, reflecting not only the distinct styles of their two composers by also the various types of sonatas written by them. The works on the second disc illuminate the crucial role played by C.P.E. Bach in the shift from the Baroque to the Rococo style and the tremendous artistic value of his work. On the faculty at Duke University, flutist Rebecca Troxler specializes in the music of J.S. Bach's sons and other Rococo composers and this repertoire shows off her warm tone, stylish phrasing and brilliant technique. A graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts and Juilliard, she was a founding member of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra. Her colleagues are all noted specialists in Baroque music.
