"Thrilling and revealing, this is Bach playing of real stature"
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine (April 2004)
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine (April 2004)
"The harpsichordist Richard Egarr frequently appears in this monthly selection, but invariably as the wonderfully sympathetic and equally virtuoso partner of the violinist Andrew Manze. Here, his record company, Harmonia Mundi's US arm, has granted him a solo disc and he proves every bit as thrilling on his own. He promises, in his booklet-note, to 're-engage minds and ears' with two of Bach's greatest keyboard works - and succeeds magnificently."
(Gramophone)
"The recording ambience of a Bristol church adds a wonderful lustre to the tone."
***** Five Stars. BBC Music Magazine April 2004
Keyboard virtuoso Richard Egarr offers inspired readings from among Bach's most familiar solo works (Italian Concerto, Chromatic Fantasia & Fugue) and rarely heard transcriptions of Vivaldi, plus his own completion of the unfinished Fugue in C minor, BWV 906.
"Egarr's playing is stylishly exuberant."
(The Scotsman, review of the Harpsichord Concertos)
