The protean French pianist Alexandre Tharaud brings a programme concentrating on Bach on the piano – in this instance mostly in his own transcriptions such as the Lute Suite, BWV996, the Johannes-Passion, BWV245, and many others. The album also features the Sicilienne, BWV1031, the famous Bach/Gounod Ave Maria and the Adagio from the Keyboard Concerto, BWV974, after Alessandro Marcello’s Adagio.
