There's nothing like a little bit of J.S. Bach to celebrate the beginning of a new year. Hans Erik Deckert has arranged two of the Baroque master's works for cello trio: Andante from Sonate für Viola da Gamba und Cembalo BWV 1028 and Adagio from Sonate für Viola da Gamba und Cembalo BWV 1029.
About Bach's Andante from Sonate für Viola da Gamba und Cembalo BWV 1028 for Cello Trio
The “Andante” is one of the most inspired movements by Bach in the very expressive key of b minor. In this arrangement there is an ideal balance between the three cello parts.

About Bach's Adagio from Sonate für Viola da Gamba und Cembalo BWV 1029 for Cello Trio
This “Adagio” is a most beautiful ”aria” in b-flat major. In this arrangement there is an ideal balance between the three cello parts.

About the Editor – Hans Erik Deckert
Hans Erik Deckert was born and grew up in Germany. The son of German and Danish parents, he moved to Denmark shortly after the war in order to study cello and conducting in Copenhagen. Deckert has had a passionate and prolific career in these fields, as well as in chamber music. His roots in the German musical tradition have given him a depth of musicianship much in demand at solo and chamber masterclasses and seminars, which is mixed with a concern for the wider social responsibility of music, stemming from his Scandinavian environment.
For Ovation Press, Deckert has employed this musicianship in a wide number of arrangements of varying styles: including Bach's Four Canons from The Art of Fugue, Rachmaninoff's Vocalise, Saint-Saëns' The Swan, and much more.
Presently Hans Erik Deckert is Honorary President of the Danish section of ESTA (which he also founded in 1978) and resident conductor with the Cello Academy (which embraces a professional 12-part cello ensemble as well as regular training courses for students). He also holds a visiting post at the Freie Musikschule in Hamburg.
