| |  | Bach - Early Works
Andreas Staier (harpsichord Anthony Sidey after Hass) Who was the young Bach? A rebellious, provocative
adolescent? A clever, stubborn careerist? An innovator, as gifted
as he was prolific? Certainly a mixture of all three, replies the
harpsichordist Andreas Staier in this selection of early works
that are anything but run-of-the-mill.This programme shows how Bach, eager to call the music of his time
into question, assimilated multiple influences and gave a 'new look' to the traditions of north Germany. “Harpsichord-playing over the past few decades has been dominated by a sonic purism which has frowned on "excessive" register changes but if you can surrender yourself to Staier's mastery of them the excitement is hair-raising.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 “Hard to know which star shines brightest here: Andreas Staier's or that of the instrument, a copy of a 1734 Hass.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 **** “the works in Andreas Staier's captivating recital reveal the developing musical personality of the young Bach. Staier's performance is suffused with a greedy pleasure in the warmth and variety of Anthony Sidey and Frédéric
Bal's copy of a 1734 Hass double-manual harpsichord.” The Independent on Sunday | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | J. S. Bach: Keyboard Works
Wilhelm Kempff's credentials as an organist and composer lend a naturalness and flexibility to these performances of some of Bach's best known Preludes and Fugues. There is also the very forward-looking, almost improvisatory piece of programme music - the Capriccio and a wonderful performance of the great D major Toccata and Fugue. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - Complete Keyboard Toccatas
Léon Berben (harpsichord & organ) On this CD Berben plays the complete keyboard toccatas. The early keyboard toccatas are some of the most mysterious and most fascinating of Bach’s works – they don’t exhibit any of the characteristics of Bach’s later, more mature compositions. As ever from this label, stunning quality. |

This release contains all of Schnabel’s commercial disc recordings of the works of J. S. Bach, a composer whose keyboard music the pianist felt was too intimate for performance in the concert hall. One of Schnabel’s greatest talents was the ability to employ not only seemingly natural tempos but, more importantly, the perfect tempo relationship between sections and movements. The Prelude and Fugue from The Well-Tempered Clavier was the last recording Schnabel made before his death in 1951. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
