Bach: Harpsichord Concerti Bwv 1052-1059 / Bob Van Asperen, Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach, Performer: Bob van Asperen, Conductor: Bob van Asperen, Orchestra/Ensemble: Melante Amsterdam, Bach is often credited with having invented the keyboard concerto, despite the fact that all of his works in the mode were arrangements of existing concertos for other instruments. Furthermore, whatever influence they may have had was indirect. It's unlikely that either Haydn or Mozart had heard any of this music or even knew of it's existence. But Haydn may have encountered the keyboard concertos of Carl Philippe Emanuel, and Mozart knew Johann Christian's works in the genre. Nevertheless the elder Bach's concertos, whether played on a harpsichord, as in this two-disc, bargain reissue, or on a piano, retain a revered place in the keyboard literature. Many listeners will remember the veteran Baroque specialist, Bob van Asperen, from his collaboration with Gustav Leonhardt in the Teldec Bach cantata series. Here he plays the solo concertos with expected grace and fluidity, accompanied by Melante Amsterdam, which is basically an expanded period-instruments string quartet. The performances have a chamber-like intimacy, which is especially attractive, for example, in the famous Largo of the F-Minor concerto (BWV 1056). The recording, dating back to 1993, sounds brand new.
