The first movement of Bach's Trio Sonata No 6 in G, BWV 530
A new recording of Bach Trios by Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Chris Thile (mandolin) and Edgar Meyer (double bass) is due for release on the Nonesuch label in April. The video below gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the recording sessions. This isn't the first time that these three musicians have appeared on disc together, their Goat Rodeo Sessions – an album of original compositions – was released in 2011, but this is their first recording of classical repertoire.
