Albrecht Mayer & BBS – Bach: Harpsichord Concerto No. 4 in A Major, BWV 1055: I. Allegro
Показать описание
Albrecht Mayer discovered the music of J.S. Bach at the age of 8, as a choirboy at Bamberg Cathedral. Within a couple of years he was able to play some of the composer’s simpler keyboard pieces on the piano. “Even then,” he recalls, “I could feel this transcendent image of his music going through my veins.” The more he studied Bach the more he loved his writing. As he notes, however, its power does not require specialist knowledge. “You can dive very deep into his music, but even when you have no idea about it, it still speaks to your heart.” In recent years, Mayer’s research has focused on the wider Bach family – this album is based on the thread of genius that runs through the different generations to produce works that embrace the styles of the late-Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras.
J.S. Bach’s Concerto for Oboe d’amore in A major only survives in a version for keyboard (BWV 1055), but there are strong indications that it was originally for oboe, an instrument for which the composer wrote prominent parts in many of his cantatas. In this work we hear the strict Baroque separation between the solo instrument and the orchestra, which plays an accompanimental role.
The album "Bach Generations" was recorded with the Berliner Barock Solisten and Gottfried von der Goltz (solo violin/concertmaster) and is now available on CD and on streaming services.
