Composer:
Johann Sebastian Bach

Artist(s):
Murray Perahia

Background: On this recording, the performance of the Brandenburg Concerto No.5 completes Perahia's cycle of Bach's known concertos for the solo keyboard instrument. As in all his Bach recordings, Perahia performs on a modern concert grand piano, and he conducts the orchestra from the keyboard, following Baroque custom.

The Italian Concerto, also featured on the disc, is a solo work that poses special challenges for the modern pianist. Bach specified a double-manual harpsichord for the Italian Concerto, with the main manual supplying the ritornello (the accompanying ensemble part) and the secondary manual the solo lines. On the recording, Perahia distinguishes these parts through the use of dynamic contrasts.
