Monica Huggett has produced numerous best-selling and acclaimed recordings for Avie, notably the Grammyr-nominated Bach Orchestral Suites, which made the Top 10 of Billboard's Traditional Classical Chart. This ear-opening version, Monica claims, restored Suite No. 2 to it's original instrumentation. She makes a similar case with her new recording of Bach's Saint John Passion, placing oboes where we typically hear flutes and arguing that Bach's original score was produced during his early years in Leipzig, where flutes were unavailable to him.
