Hanover Band - Harpsichord Concertos BWV 1050, 1053, 1056 & 1057 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

JS Bach's seven concertos for solo harpsichord & strings, BWV 1052-1058, occupy a significant place in the history of music, marking as they do the origin of the keyboard concerto genre. Collectively, they encompass the gamut of Baroque rhetorical expression; indeed, leaving aside the six ground-breaking 'Brandenburg' Concerts avec plusieurs instruments, it is difficult to think of a more diverse, revolutionary and technically refined set of instrumental concertos from the Baroque period (Andrew Arthur) For their first recording on Signum Classics, The Hanover Band play-directed by Andrew Arthur present four of these revolutionary concertos, and dedicate this to their Founder and Artistic Director, Caroline Brown (1953-2018). The Hanover Band's players are amongst the finest in their field and the orchestra has built an international reputation for the excellence of it's performances and recordings of eighteenth and nineteenth-century music. Andrew Arthur is best-known for his work in the field of historically informed performance, he is in great demand as a conductor, keyboard soloist and continuo player, working with many of the UK's leading period-instrument orchestras and professional choirs.

This expanded edition brings together the complete Oh No era on one CD. Alongside the original 2005 album, this collection features rare covers, B-sides, and live and acoustic recordings.
