About

First release ever of a swinging virtuosic Bach album by cult pianist Friedrich Gulda. These are live and studio recordings from 1955 to 1969, in both mono and stereo. Two big works (English Suites Nos. 2 and 3) form the frame of a magically energetic and moving recital. Gulda briefly introduces some of the works himself. Also included are private recordings (from Uppsala and Trieste), made by Gulda himself while on tour and now in the Gulda archive.

Bonus: Gulda’s own jazz take on Bach - his wonderfully exuberant Prelude and Fugue

The remastering was supervised by Gulda's son Paul, who also wrote the liner notes.

He left an ocean of music” – Martha Argerich
