About

Bach’s youth was a vast field of observation. From the years of apprenticeship in Ohrdruf, where his precocious artistic sensibility was dazzlingly demonstrated, to his first major post as organist at Arnstadt, Bach constantly enriched his musical culture, underpinned by a strong family tradition and driven by iconic respect for the old masters, crucial affinities and unfailing curiosity. As the prelude to a complete recording of a new kind, the eloquence and vigilant intelligence of the admirable Benjamin Alard’s playing are the ideal medium to reveal the technical mastery of Bach’s early keyboard works and convey the essence of this young composer’s musical discourse at a time when he was already measuring himself against the yardstick of predecessors and contemporaries alike.

Reviews

The first instalment of Benjamin Alard’s projected complete keyboard works of JS Bach is entirely auspicious. ... Alard is equally accomplished on both the organ and the harpsichord and moves from one to the other with facility. ... Alard’s playing is a delight, clean and sensible, with striking agogic expressive power. ... This is a project to watch with anticipation.  Philip Kennicott
Gramophone June 2018
