Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig follow the international success of their recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, St. Matthew Passion and the critically acclaimed Weihnachts-Oratorium with five of Bach's best-loved concertos for keyboard - a recording which has already spent 7 weeks in the Italian pop charts.
The soloist is young Iranian-born Bach specialist Ramin Bahrami. Well known on the international concert platform, Ramin Bahrami studied with the legendary American Bach pianist Rosalyn Tureck - the artist who perhaps more than any other brought the composer's keyboard works to the attention of the public through her research and recordings.
"With Chailly's Bach-ingrained Leipzigers as "historically informed partners", the Iranian Bahrani delivers crisply articulated, zippy allegros and deeply felt adagios - the Siciliano of the E major concerto lovingly phrased - without sentimentalising the music." (Sunday Times)
"Bahrami shows fine technique and crisp articulation in the fast passagework." (BBC Music)
