Illyria Consort releases a long-awaited recording, the first ever complete recording of Johann Jakob Walther: Scherzi da violino solo from 1676, a generation before Bach wrote Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin. The aim of this project was to bring Walther’s music out from relative obscurity into essential listening for anyone seeking a fuller understanding of Bach’s polyphonic writing for the violin.
