Bach: Brandenburg Concertos, Orchestral Suites / Suzuki

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos, Orchestral Suites / Suzuki

Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki first recorded the Brandenburg Concertos in 2000, but now return to these great works. The new recording took place in the recently completed MUZA Kawasaki Hall, a venue that is highly suitable to an approach focussing on the chamber music qualities of this music.

Label of the Week

Grand Piano

Grand Piano

Launched in 2012, the Grand Piano label quickly gained a reputation for producing high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. Dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire, the label specialises in multi-volume recordings and complete cycles of piano works by many lesser-known composers, whose output might otherwise have remained unknown and unrecorded. Spanning three centuries of music from around the world, the Grand Piano catalogue includes music by past composers such as Leopold Koželuch, Benjamin Godard, and Mieczysław Weinberg, as well as works by living composers such as Valentin Silvestrov, Martial Solal and Philip Glass. The Grand Piano catalogue is not only historically comprehensive, but also geographically global in its reach. The Austro-German epicentre of piano music is naturally well represented, but its ripples of influence are also well documented. Grand Piano recordings will take you to Eastern Europe, Russia (with music from both its Silver Age, Soviet and post-Soviet periods), Armenia, and further afield, including to the USA, Mexcio, Venezuela and Brazil.
