Tomaso Albinonis Trio Sonatas op. 1 enjoyed enormous popularity from the moment they were released, as can be seen in the numerous reprints and Johann Sebastian Bachs own use in the harpsichord fugues BWV 946, 950 and 951. The state of the sources is ideal for a well-grounded edition: the partbooks of the first edition of 1694 provide a secure foundation on which Martin Lutz worked out a musical text that, compared with other transmitted sources, provides a reliable basis.

"The present edition meets the needs of less experienced performers, since a continuo realization is included." (Andrew Woolley, The Consort)

"Die Werke leben nicht nur von den kompakten, mit einem beweglichen Generalbass versehenen und die Virtuosität nicht in den Vordergrund spielenden schnellen Sätzen, sondern von den klar konturierten Grave-Abschnitten, die die gesanglichen Qualitäten von Albinonis Musik aufs Beste illustrieren."(Mathias Nofze, Das Orchester)
