It shines a light on works from Bach's formative years before becoming court organist in Weimar, alongside pieces by other composers found in his brother's manuscript collection—a refuge for the young Bach after losing his parents. Smallwood's touch, guiding the meticulously programmed repertoire, is astonishingly natural and compelling. Combined with the beautiful sound drawn from an 18th-century German-model harpsichord, the performance draws the listener in with each listen. Seamlessly transitioning from works by predecessors active since the late 17th century to Bach's earliest compositions, he reveals the true value of even relatively well-known pieces like the Toccata BWV 910 and Capriccio BWV 992 with a fresh sensibility.Engineering by Rainer Arndt, founder of the RAMEE label and former Baroque violinist. His sensitive ear captures the timbre of period instruments and the perfect harmony of space, conveying the exquisite flavor of each work—rooted in Germany's ancient tradition leading to the great Bach—with unparalleled charm.
