About the album

These inspiring works are performed here by internationally recognised young soloists and chamber musicians the London Conchord Ensemble on modern instruments and with piano.

Daniel Pailthorpe has also arranged two of Bachʼs best known chorales - Sheep may safely graze, and Jesu, joy of Manʼs desiring; delightfully performed in this new chamber version.

Classic FM magazine described the sound as "refreshing" with Gramophone praising the "awareness of period style" and saying of the original Quartz release "... If you want stylish Bach orchestral music on modern instruments "this little Bach collection could be for you".

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
