Music reviews of Bach: Keyboard Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 4
Music Review: Murray Perahia - inspiration, delicacy and wisdom in Bach keyboard concertos
Rating: 5 Stars
I had the rare chance to listen to Murray Perahia performing - as soloist and conductor - along with his wonderful musicians from Academy St Martin in the Fields a year ago, in September 2009, during the XIXth edition of the "George Enescu" International Festival in Bucharest. I must confess that there is a magic fluid moving on stage when they play together, a special communion of thoughts and feelings translated masterfully into sound and finally into artistic joy. Perahia, as usual, is an accomplished pianist, but when he conducts from the keyboard he becomes a demiurge. He recreates worlds of uplifting and joyful consistency. Carefully with the smallest detail of the score, interested in the finest nuance of each instrument and devoted to the pure musical beauty, Perahia is very selective with regard to the repertory to be performed. He seems not attracted by arid musical abstractions, loving only the meaningful and heart-felted music. That's why he devoted a long time in his career to a fruitful foray into the realm simply named Johann Sebastian Bach. Of course, there are a lot of great composers such as Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Scarlatti, Schubert, Mendelssohn or Schumann in his repertory, but chiefly Bach. He returns time and again to this rich source of musical truths. Partitas, English Suites, Goldberg Variations, Italian Concerto - all stand in Perahia's recital programs (live or recorded), on equal footing with keyboard concertos, his subtle pianism ensuring both the reliable foundation of the proceedings and the robust bridge towards the orchestral textures.
This is the case here. A sparkling recording where Murray Perahia offers his inspired vision of no less than four masterpieces from Bach catalogue, namely the keyboard concertos in D minor BWX 1052, in E major BWX 1053 and in A major BWX 1055, also known as nos. 1, 2 and 4 respectively. Much gusto, vivacity, playfulness - in Allegros, lyrical meditation in Adagio or Larghetto, much wit throughout! The response of his accomplished chamber players contributes to the unique perfume of a otherworldly interpretation. The high class of the performers shimmers with a noble delicacy also in their meekness in from of the Giant of the Baroque Music. Although the score is read with no complexes or humble hesitations, the dialogue with Bach permanently reassesses the proper positions.
Impressive Bach achievement under the masterful vision of Murray Perahia!
