Without ever having travelled to France, Johann Sebastian Bach was very intensively involved with the French music of his time. Prof Peter Waldner demonstrates the many connections on the original and excellent sounding two-manual Parisian harpsichord by the German-born Hemsch.
The Innsbruck harpsichordist and organist Prof. Peter Waldner plays a programme of French pieces (Louis and Francois Couperin, Le Bègue, Marchand, Forqueray) on the French instrument with German roots, as well as music by Johann Sebastian Bach, which was written in dialogue with the works of his esteemed colleagues. Bach studied the French and acquired the ability to compose independently in their style according to the motto of pattern and imitation. A concertante direct comparison promises delicate refinement, entertaining entertainment in the best sense of the word at the highest level and lasting enjoyment.
