Simone Dinnerstein - Strange Beauty (CD)

Details: Simone Dinnersteins first recording for Sony Classical, BACH: A STRANGE BEAUTY, has the critically-acclaimed pianist returning to Bach, this time combining three transcriptions of his Chorale Preludes, with one of his English Suites and two of his Keyboard Concerti, again revealing her intense and expressive playing style, as well as her individual approach to Bach's music. For her first orchestral recording Simone is joined by members of one of Berlin's most venerable institutions - Kammerorchester Staatskapelle Berlin, with Stephan Mai as concertmaster. Grammy Award winning producer Adam Abe's house, who produced Dinnerstein's Goldberg Variations disc and her follow-up album THE BERLIN CONCERT, returns to recapture her distinctive sound on BACH: A STRANGE BEAUTY.
