Christophe Rousset concludes his exploration of Johann Sebastian Bach's solo keyboard works with a masterly recording of the complete Toccatas, performed on a sumptuous anonymous German harpsichord.
The Toccatas are among Bach's earliest works. As the autograph manuscripts have never come down to us, we date their composition between 1705 and 1712. Brought together after the event in a highly diversified set, they bear witness to the influence of northern masters such as Buxtehude, and are above all the site of Bach's stylistic blossoming, giving free rein to his fantasy, his freedom and his architectural and expressive genius.
Christophe Rousset continues and concludes his exploration of Bach's splendid keyboard corpus in this new recording, which combines depth, virtuosity and interiority.
