Eugen d'Albert (1864-1932) enjoyed an illustrious and colourful career as both concert pianist and composer. He wished to include J.S. Bach's music in his concerts and sought the grandeur of some of the large secular organ works. The transcriptions he made for this purpose are arguably better than the numerous Bach transcriptions made by his contemporaries. D'Albert's versions of eight secular masterworks present them remarkably close to their original form, yet perfectly matched to the modern piano. At times, they make very considerable technical demands, but the effort to master them is amply rewarded.This 116-page volume marks their first appearance since they were first issued over a century ago. Many errors and inaccuracies have been remedied and English translations of his musical terms have been provided.

With the first appearance of this three-movement concerto for flute, 2 violins, viola and basso continuo, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach's only surviving flute concerto is made accessible to a wider musical audience. The transparent delicacy of the composition is visible in the orchestral movement. Almost continuously written in 3 parts the concerto clearly bears the individual artistic traits of the eldest of Bach's sons. The critical edition is based on the only known source, from the library of the 'Berliner Singakademie', will be contained in volume IV/2 of the complete edition of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach's works. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3231500.
