Description
Philippe Grisvard has chosen the repertoire of composers from the court of Frederick II, thus continuing Ensemble Diderot's comprehensive exploration of the style of the Berlin School. After early French violin concertos with Johannes Pramsohler and North German cello concertos with Gulrim Choi, it is now the turn of Ensemble Diderot's harpsichordist to distinguish himself in this genre with these world premiere recordings.
The decision not to include Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in this program facilitates the rehabilitation and rediscovery of composers whose contribution to the concerto genre is no less important. The result is a completely new program of virtuoso works in which the spirit of Bach father and son shines through time and again.
"Grisvard's perky, colourful playing (on a 2015 copy of an 18th century harpsichord) makes the best possible case for these unknown pieces: as is usually the case with releases from this team, education and entertainment are combined in a single handy package. Excellent, scholarly notes and superb engineering too – a winner." - The Arts Desk
"The Bach influence is palpable throughout, the works immaculately crafted and with genuine spark and lyrical fluency. Such stylish performances – easeful and teasing, but never complacent – make for pleasurable rediscovery." - The Scotsman ****
