Bach Keyboard Concertos Volume 1 -- Murray Perahia

"...a rich and exciting collaboration"
San Francisco Chronicle

"...a breathtaking account of these concertos. [Perahia's] passage work is exhilarating, his dynamics are wonderfully terraced, and his ornaments are exquisitely polished... sheer beauty of his musicianship. From beginning to end, he establishes a remarkable rapport with the orchestra in a performance that has all of the immediacy, intimacy and intense musicality of a chamber music recital."
Star-Ledger

The followup to his Grammy Award-nominated
and best-selling

When a thumb injury jeopardized his career back in the early 90s, pianist Murray Perahia found comfort by immersing himself in Bach. Perahia, whom many consider quite possibly the finest American pianist of his generation, has since recovered and been eager to share his insights gleamed from his new appreciation of this composer. These insights have resulted in a Grammy-winning account of the Bach English Suites (SK 60276), Perahia's 1999 Grammy-nominated recording of the Goldberg Variations (SK 89243), and now his new release of Bach Keyboard Concertos, Volume 1.

This CD includes Bach's Keyboard Concertos Nos.1, 2 and 4 featuring Perahia as soloist and conductor with the renowned Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
