An album dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach piano solo, follows Alexandre Tharaud’s very original Four Hands project. The protean French pianist brings a programme concentrating on Bach on the piano – in this instance mostly in his own transcriptions such as the Lute Suite BWV 996, the Johannes-Passion BWV 245 and many others. The album also features a few Bach HITS: Sicilienne BWV 1031, the famous Bach/Gounod Ave Maria and the Adagio from the Keyboard Concerto BWV 974, after Alessandro Marcello Adagio.

1. Keyboard Concerto in D minor, BWV 974: II. Adagio (After Marcello’s Oboe Concerto)
