Description:

The most brilliant and exhilarating music of J.S. Bach's works is a collection of concertos that are renowned as the oldest masterpieces in the genealogy of keyboard concerto music history. It is now available in a new recording for period instruments. It is said that all piano concertos, from Beethoven to Brahms and Busoni, are modeled on Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. This was a revolutionary change from the style of ensemble concertos up to that time. Bach skillfully adapted parts of cantatas and concertos he had written in the past, meticulously creating seven pieces with a wide range of expressive power, including BWV.1052 in D minor, which gives a dramatic impression, BWV.1054 in D major, which evokes a gentle dialogue, and BWV.1056 in F minor, which is full of emotion. Peter-Jan Belder has been recording Bach's music with Brilliant Classics for over 20 years. This is his first new release with Musica Amphion in many years. You will surely enjoy this wonderful performance.
