Released on February 17, 2017, under Universal Music Australia Pty. Ltd., this classical masterpiece spans a generous 2 hours and 14 minutes, offering a profound journey through Bach's intricate compositions.
The album is a harmonious blend of two of Bach's most celebrated works: his Harpsichord Concertos and The Art of Fugue. The Harpsichord Concertos, including the renowned Concerto for Harpsichord, Strings, and Continuo No. 1 in D Minor, BWV 1052 and Concerto for Harpsichord, Strings, and Continuo No. 2 in E, BWV 1053, showcase Bach's unparalleled mastery of Baroque music. Each movement, from the lively Allegro to the serene Adagio and Siciliano, is a testament to Bach's ability to evoke a range of emotions through his music.
The second half of the album delves into The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080, a collection of complex fugues that demonstrate Bach's profound understanding of counterpoint. Arranged by Isaacs, these pieces, including Contrapunctus 1 through 13 and several canons, are a technical marvel and a delight for the discerning classical music enthusiast.
Whether you're a seasoned classical aficionado or a newcomer to Bach's work, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. The intricate melodies, harmonies, and rhythms of Bach's compositions are brought to life with exquisite precision, making this album a true celebration of one of the greatest composers in history.
