The Bach Album: Diana Doherty

Johann Sebastian Bach wrote sublime music for the oboe; here it is performed by Australia’s leading early music experts Ironwood, featuring our own world-renowned Diana Doherty, one of our most charismatic performers (and one of ABC Classics’ best-selling artists!).

This uplifting album is enhanced by a bonus DVD. Interspersed with footage of the recording sessions is an interview with Diana Doherty in which she talks about the music and her experience of playing and recording it.
