Description:

This is a remarkable recording of the complete "Brandenburg Concertos" including the large-format No. 1 and the famous No. 5 for harpsichord solo, performed by a single piano. The high technique, of course, but also the fact that the extremely complex three- and four-voice works and fugues are performed only with the piano brings out the framework of the works beautifully, allowing the audience to enjoy the works from a different angle than the orchestral performance. The "magnificent architecture of sound" created by the profound yet delicate sound and the free and unrestrained performance that makes it hard to believe that only one pianist is playing the piece is breathtaking.
