Here is Johann Sebastian Bach in transfigured light: with organ chorale preludes, vocal cantata movements and orchestral sinfonias - 24 pieces in all - transcribed for trio and solo piano by Fred Thomas, and threaded into a compelling new sequence by Manfred Eicher. On Three Or One, Bach's idiom is respectfully explored by three innovative players, a process Thomas describes as "quietly joyful," and the trio pieces, primarily drawn from Bach's Orgelbuchlein, acquire a fresh character.
