VINYLS

Exploring the myriad possibilities of Bach on the piano, Beatrice Rana engages in intimate and illuminating dialogue with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta in four of the composer’s keyboard concertos: BWV 1052 in D minor, BWV 1053 in E Major, BWV 1054 in D Major, and BWV 1056 in F minor.

For the New York Times, Rana’s distinction as an interpreter of Bach lies in “preternatural sensitivity, sophistication and control, along with a touch of magic.” She describes the composer as “an important figure in my life … My piano studies began when I was very young and Bach was there from the very start.” At the age of nine she played the F minor concerto BWV 1056 in her first public concert with orchestra. 20 years later she and the Amsterdam Sinfonietta toured these four concertos before taking them into the recording studio. “Made in heaven,” is how Bachtrack described their musical partnership, “Soloist and ensemble were playing as one.”
