Bach CPE - Sonatas & Fantasias (Andreas Staier)

Posted By: Sowulo

Date: 3 Jul 2014 04:54:43

Staier's interpretation and delivery of these lesser known Baroque classics have come down to us in a reissued catalogue that surprises and delights both with the quality of the performance and the exemplary noise-free recording. This rare opportunity to encounter the extended Bach legacy in all its glory is sumptuously and indulgently displayed by a band of virtuoso players who can hold their own as soloists as well as perform naturally and convincingly as a team.
Here Staier heads the group on harsichord and pianoforte with subtle and considered playing which evokes the natural poetry of Bach's second son's triumphant concertos, fantasias and sonatas. There is a delicate and
pronounced conviction in his playing that allows both determination and lyrical softness to shine through.
Staier manages to combine an elevated style of conversation with an irresistable gravitational pull that draws the listener in with an accomplished sound that describes more of an improvised sonic-soundscape rather than a recital. The playing is inspired and the passion of Staier and his team resonates throughout the 3-disc set to celebrate the sublime music.
Starting with the lively Prussian Sonatas, the harpsichord, a recreation of an 18th century model, which is Staier's hallmark and champion ionstrument, bounds with enthusiasm as the delicate tones paint a picture of royal courtage in the late baroque period. The late chamber works then commences with a wholesome, deep and fulfilled, pleasantly soft sounding echo of romantic era which remain fresh and invigorating. Their essential woody character is savoured and pronounced by our virtuoso team…
