On his new CD, Bernd Glemser presents not only some of the most famous Bach arrangements by Ferruccio Busoni (the recording begins with the Chaconne in D Minor, which can practically be called a standard work of the virtuoso piano repertoire), but also seldom heard pieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Myra Hess and Wilhelm Kempff.

“There’s a well structured Busoni Chaconne, the gentler Wilhelm Kempff Siciliano, Myra Hess’s ‘Jesu Joy’
and, less often heard, ‘Nun, freut ich…’ receives a dazzling Gould-like performance. Admirable touch,
ornamentation and voicing”
