I heard a harpsichordist play these sonatas, and I felt they could also be piano versions," said Jarrett. It is clear that he is able to hear the The gentle musical banter that is so characteristic of this younger Bach's way of expressing himself, his love of clever and abruptly changing tempos, the surprising rippling of ideas... all of this is beautifully expressed. The fluidity of the entire performance is a trait that could perhaps only be revealed by an artist of great improvisational skill. In Jarrett's hands, the expression of C.P.E. Bach's new compositional style remains as fresh as the day it was discovered.It was recorded in May 1994 at Keith Jarrett's home studio (Cavelight Studio). The album features liner notes by British music critic Paul Griffiths. 2 CD set. Universal Music/IMS
