Description:

It is known that many musicians, including Schütz, Froberger, Handel, Hasse, Mozart, and Wagner, traveled across the Alps to Italy to capture the country's atmosphere and characteristics and apply them to their own music. However, J.S. Bach never set foot in Italy during his lifetime. However, this does not mean that he was not interested in Italy. From an early age, J. S. Bach studied and arranged the works of the Italian masters with great enthusiasm, acquired their styles, and sublimated them into "Italian Concertos" and other works. This album is based on the theme of "Bach's journey to Italy as he envisioned it," and contains keyboard works in the "Italian style" written under the influence of Vivaldi in Venice and Frescobaldi in Rome. Luca Oberti, born in 1982, studied with Christophe Rousset and Pierre Antaï, and is active worldwide as a soloist and chamber musician. He is highly acclaimed as "the most talented harpsichordist of our time. Naxos Japan
