Description:

Pinnock, known as a pioneer in the performance of ancient music, makes a new recording of Bach's golden age! Trevor Pinnock is the founder and first music director of the English Concert, a pioneer in the performance of ancient music, and has had a long exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon's Alhieffe, releasing many recordings. Notable recordings include Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, Handel's Messiah and Ensemble Concerto Collection, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Bach's Goltberg Variations and Partitas. Pinnock certainly conveys through his performances his own belief in a preference for musicality and inspiration over musical orthodoxy. With a special reputation as a conductor, chamber musician, and harpsichordist, Pinnock was enthusiastically praised by critics. This recording of the Mean Clavier Works, Volume 1 explores the pinnacle of Bach's theoretical and counterpoint knowledge. Universal Music/IMS
