Description:
The Italian Concerto (BWV 971) by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the composer's most important works and brilliantly demonstrates his exploration of the Italian concerto style. Inspired by Vivaldi, among others, Bach brings the lively dialog between "tutti" and "solo" to life on a single keyboard instrument. The work captivates with its combination of virtuosity, formal clarity and contrapuntal richness and presents three movements with impressively contrasting characters: a radiant Allegro, an expressive Andante and a lively, exuberant finale. In her arrangement, Colette Mourey remains deeply connected to the spirit of Bach while offering a personal, precise and insightful reading. Her approach emphasizes the essential lines, the dynamic musical flow and the transparency of the polyphony, making the work particularly accessible without losing any of its depth. This arrangement invites you to rediscover the Italian Concerto from a renewed perspective that is both faithful to the work and inspiring.
