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.
"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"
