Carl Philipp Emanuel B... - Keith Jarrett - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Keith Jarrett’s account of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Württemberg Sonatas is a
revelation. “I’d heard the sonatas played by harpsichordists, and felt there was a space
left for a piano version,” says Jarrett today. This outstanding recording, made in 1994
and previously unreleased, finds the pianist attuned to the expressive implications of
the sonatas in every moment. The younger Bach’s idiosyncrasies: the gentle
playfulness of the music, the fondness for subtle and sudden tempo shifts, the
extraordinary, rippling invention…all of this is wonderfully delivered. The fluidity of the
whole performance has a quality that perhaps could be conveyed only by an artist of
great improvisational skills. In Jarrett’s hands, CPE’s exploration of new compositional
forms retains the freshness of discovery. Recorded at Keith Jarrett’s Cavelight Studio
in May 1994, the album includes liner notes by Paul Griffiths.
