This anthology of sonatas composed in the five
decades from 1735 to 1783, that with one exception
remained unpublished in Bach’s lifetime, offers a less
familiar resumé of his extraordinarily varied career.
Cerasi beautifully gauges the music’s natural weight
and vividly delineates the extempore freedom and
subtle impressionistic colours of this master. A
revelatory programme.” BBC Music Magazine
“Carole Cerasi is on her way to joining the pantheon of
grandes dames of the clavecin world renowned for
their elegant playing. If you have her first CD, you’ll
want to have this one as well”. Early Music Review
“This disc is purely pleasurable, the clarity of the
performance matched by an admirably lucid sound
quality” Independent on Sunday
