Bach?s Harpsichord concerti extremely popular among pianists are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach however succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today?s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d minor is perhaps the most popular not least because of its jaunty outer movements and the eminently forceful solo part. Now as a prelude to a series of all of Bach?s Harpsichord concerti G. Henle Publishers presents a Piano reduction and study edition(score) of the d-minor concerto. None other than András Schiff the outstanding Bach expert has provided fingering suggestions.

Bach composed these suites early in life before any of the other suite sets such as the French suites. They portray a young Bach bursting with energy dexterity and ideas and rapt enthusiasm for the newest styles of the day - the Italian concertos of Vivaldi and the French harpsichord suites of D'Anglebert Daquin and Couperin. Melding these powerful forms with the already Italianate German fantasy or toccata Bach produced some of the world's first true virtuoso keyboard masterpieces. Little wonder that his contemporaries were dazzled. This Urtext edition edited by Alfred Durr provides you with a clear and accurate realisation of Bach's exciting English suites.

Par NYMAN MICHAEL. Ces trois morceaux solos de clavecin sont une collection de compositions récentes, chacune avec un thème et une idée individuels. Le premier, The convertibility of Lute Strings, a été exécuté la première fois à la salle de Purcell, Londres en 1992. La seconde, Tango for Tim a été écrite dans la mémoire d'un ami et d'un compositeur Tim Souster, et a été composée et exécutée pour la première fois en 1994. Le troisième morceau, Elisabeth Gets Her Way, est une version prolongée de la cadence qu' Elisabeth Chojnacka a persuadé Michael Nyman d'ajouter à son concert de clavecin, qui inclut le matériel des deux premiers morceaux dans cet album. / Rép Classique / Répertoire / Clavecin
