This CD includes arrangements by such masters as Bauer, Giloti, and Kemp, as well as the "Italian Concerto," in which Bach himself reproduced the orchestral sound on the keyboard. Finally, Martin's own arrangement of the famous cantata, "Lord, Joy to Man's Hope," is also included. This is an attractive disc with a program full of originality under the theme of "Arrangements. Roland Martin is a pianist with a wide repertoire ranging from Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schumann, Liszt, and Mussorgsky.In recent years, he has been actively engaged in the rediscovery and revival of French Romantic musicians.
