Composer:
Johann Sebastian Bach

Artist(s):
Vladimir Ashkenazy

Background: The transcriptions are based on both Rachmaninov’s own works and those of other composers and require a great deal of virtuosity and flair from the soloist. The listener is far from disappointed as Ashkenazy lends his usual style and prowess to the music's definitive style.

Vladimir Ashkenazy is President of the Rachmaninov Society and is revered throughout the world for his performances of Rachmaninov.

The album is also a real Ashkenazy family affair. His son Vovka joins him for the four-handed repertoire and his wife Dódy joins them both for the six-handed works, making this recording truly unique as well as a must-have purchase for all Ashkenazy fans.
