Bach: Musikalisches Opfer
Product DescriptionOn this disc, Philippe Pierlot and the Ricercar Consort perform Bach's Musical Offering, a collection of canons, fugues and other works based on a single musical theme given to him by Frederick the Great of Prussia. The work has it's roots in a meeting between Bach and the King in 1747. Well known for his skill at improvising, Bach was asked to play a fugue based on the King's complex theme. Two months after the meeting, Bach published this set of pieces, all based on the King's theme.Review'perfectly shaped and effortlessly balanced performances' --Brian Clark - Early Music Review, April 2015'the harpsichord playing of Maude Gratton is one of the highlights of the disc. On a fine-sounding but uncredited instrument, she allows enough air into the six-part Ricercar to prevent its texture from becoming senselessly thick, and is sprightly and clear in the freer-spirited three-part Ricercar. Nor is there a shortage of wisdom elsewhere. As ever with this group everything is very particular and refined' --Lindsay Kemp - Gramophone, May 2015
