Benjamin Alard – J.S. Bach – Complete Keyboard Edition, Vol. 3 (2020) [FLAC 24bit/88,2-96kHz]

Having already attracted attention for his exceptional gifts, Bach entered the service of the Weimar court at the age of twenty-three. This was the start of the period known as his ‘early maturity’, in which his formal and expressive experiments reflect a significant interest in French music and ‘la belle danse’. The close intertwining of French and German styles is the dominant feature of this third volume in Benjamin Alard’s recording of the complete organ and harpsichord works.
‘A remarkable complete set of Bach’s keyboard music is gradually being built up.’ – ResMusica.
