Description: | These works range from there fined and elegant (Allegro and Larghetto of the A major
Concerto , BWV1055) to the positively rambunctious (last movement of the D minor, and
first of the Concerto BWV1054), and bear the mark of the Italian style that Johann
Sebastian Bach had learned in his early years, almost in secret, while he was under the
tutelage of his brother Johann Christoph. As Tianqi Du himself suggests, these works
show the more approachable, more humane, and less intimidating side of Bachâ??s
imposing genius. They were written specifically for public performances in the Café
Zimmerman, Saint Catherine Street, in Leipzig. The Cantor would happily sit at the
keyboard, as would some of his numerous children, students, or even family and friends.
The atmosphere was relaxed, joyful, and for these moments of simple pleasure, Bach
would create with in the decade of 1730 an impressive quantity of new works (often
lost), as well as adaptations of older music originally written for violin, oboe, or even
oboe dâ??amore. - After his first recording for naïve of Bach's Goldberg Variations (V7566, 2022), the Chinese pianist Tianqi Du gets back to the composer closest to his heart, of whom he this time plays four Concertos, with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, conducted by Jonathan Bloxham.The four works chosen here by Tianqi Du are among the most famous and remarkable of the series of Bach's keyboard Concertos. |
