Bach: Complete Works For Keyboard 1

BACH: COMPLETE WORKS FOR KEYBOARD 1 BENJAMIN ALARD From the years of apprenticeship in Ohrdruf to his first major post as organist at Arnstadt, Bach constantly enriched his musical culture. He was underpinned by a strong family tradition and driven by iconic respect for the old masters and an unfailing curiosity. In Volume 1 of Benjamin Alard's complete keyboard music series, the eloquence and intelligence of his playing are the ideal medium to reveal the technical mastery of Bach's early works. Alard conveys the essence of this young composer's musical discourse at a time when he was already measuring himself against the yardstick of predecessors and contemporaries alike.
