Carole Cerasi, harpsichord
“Carole Cerasi, whose delicacy of touch and impeccable
style is matched by an unparalleled confidence of
attack, maps each piece with due verve, attention and
imagination. Sheer delight” Independent on Sunday
This is the fourth solo recording by Gramophone
Award winner Carole Cerasi. Continuing her
adventurous programming on disc, she has chosen a
programme inspired by the Möller Manuscript, a
manuscript compiled by Johann Sebastian Bach's elder
brother Johann Christoph, with whom Johann
Sebastian lived after the death of his parents in 1695.
The 'Möller' manuscript is one of the most precious
musical treasures from the lifetime of Johann
Sebastian Bach, not least because it is one of the few
sources of his early works that has a close connection
with the young composer. The manuscript is named
after one of its later owners, Johann Gottfried Möller, a
pupil of Bach's. The special strength of this collection of pieces, saved by the young Bach's intimate family
circle, is the consistently high musical quality of its
strikingly varied repertoire.
