Four Centuries of J.S. Bach
No, Johann Sebastian Bach did not live for four hundred years! But he occupies a pivotal position in the history of keyboard music. The works on this unusual CD span four centuries, exploring the influence on Mendelssohn, Hindemith and Shostakovich. Although some of these pieces were originally composed for the harpsichord, all of the works on this disc are performed on the modern concert grand by Louis Nagel. This recording is available at Equilibrium Records.
