Comfort at One: Bach and Vivaldi

By looking at Bach's lavish personal library, one can see the marvelous breadth of influences that passed through his hands. Chief among these were the violin works of Antonio Vivaldi. Today for Comfort at One, Trinity Baroque Orchestra members Aisslinn Nosky, Michael Unterman, and Trinity's Associate Organist and Chorusmaster Avi Stein play the rhapsodic Gigue from Bach’s E Minor Violin Sonata and an ethereal excerpt from Vivaldi's Violin Sonata in D Minor.
