Toccatas BWV 910 à 916 / Angela Hewitt, piano
A toccata--from the Italian word meaning "to touch"--was originally a glorified keyboard warm-up, in which scales and arpeggios were tossed off with improvisatory abandon. But as Angela Hewitt shows, Bach's youthful forays into this genre were finely wrought gems, masterpieces in miniature. This dazzling CD matches the extraordinarily high standards she has set herself in the complete keyboard Bach she is building up year by year. Her touch is springy and muscular, her pulse rock-steady; the more anarchic Bach's fancy becomes, the more rigorously she controls its expression. Taking her cue from the absence of autograph manuscripts, she puts these works into a satisfying running order, so we can savor them as we would at a recital. The liner notes are--as usual with this coruscating communicator--a performance in themselves. Musical commentary is seldom so fresh, or so illuminating for those who want to follow in her footsteps. And yes, she makes a brilliant case for the piano in Bach: in these 65 glorious minutes, there's not one dull moment. --Michael Church

David Fray, who launched his Virgin Classics career with Bach, releases a new recital disc featuring the composer s keyboard music. We shouldn t be afraid of acknowledging the expressiveness of Bach s music, says Fray. The Romantics don t have a monopoly on expressivity! Certainly, no one can be afraid of acknowledging the talented Fray, who is the most inspired Bach-player of his generation.
In this release, Fray plays Bach s Partita No. 2, which starts with the Sinfonia and its long and majestic introduction, amazing melodies, and riveting musical exchanges. Fray s execution of Bach s more difficult works is flawless the Toccata in C Minor is exhilarating, with a flair of drama and excitement. Bach always excelled in large scale fugues, standing above his contemporaries, and this Toccata is no different. Partita No. 6 is a large and densely composed piece full of virtuoso passages and lyrical melody. These pieces show Bach s ability to take from the past while simultaneously shaping the future of music. This diverse, but unified, abstract work displays how Bach had a wealth of musical knowledge and took risks to achieve a unique sound. Fray exhibits his masterful knowledge of Bach s works and tremendous talent to execute them, painting a vivid picture of Bach s remarkable works.
Voted Newcomer of the Year 2008 by BBC Magazine, David Fray has impressed the music world with his amazing technique and spirited playing style. Fray certainly has a very high opinion on Bach as he stated, he discovers more psychological depth, more well-rounded stories and more refined emotions than his colleagues.
