Bach, Montero & Ta... - Ksenija Sidorova - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

After Piazzolla Reflections, (ALPHA664), Latvian accordionist Ksenija Sidorova devotes this new recording to Bach and compositions influenced by his music – starting with the famous Concerto BWV 1052, which has inspired so many adaptations for piano, violin and even heavy metal guitar, 'so I don't think a version for an instrument with two keyboards will surprise anyone!' says Ksenija. The programme also includes Sergey Akhunov, a composer who featured on her previous album, with a work inspired by Bach's Chaconne BWV 1004;; Beyond Bach by Gabriela Montero, the Venezuelan pianist and composer famous for her improvisations;; and Horizons by the Anglo-Bulgarian composer Dobrinka Tabakova. The programme is completed by Bach’s Chorale Prelude Ich ruf zu dir, which has accompanied Ksenija since childhood: ‘I think this organ piece works particularly well on the accordion. Both instruments use bellows, but the accordion offers a much more flexible dynamic range. You can really let the music breathe.’
