Nonesuch presents Bach Trios, an album of Bach works recorded by famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile and bassist Edgar Meyer. The album comprises works by J.S. Bach originally written for keyboard instruments, plus one sonata for viola da gamba.

In 2011, Ma, Thile and Meyer — along with Stuart Duncan — collaborated on The Goat Rodeo Sessions, which won two Grammy Awards. The trio, which played Bach on the Thile-hosted radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" in December, performs in nine cities across the U.S. beginning on April 21.
