Alard,Benjamin Weimar Period - Bach: Complete Works For Keyboard CD

With this volume 5, Benjamin Alard reaches the toccatas, preludes, fantasies and fugues that show the extent to which Bach now mastered French and Italian influences, only to emancipate himself from them and compose in complete freedom. An unexpected instrument makes it's first appearance in this complete recording played on the finest historical keyboards: the clavichord, perfectly at home alongside the organ and the harpsichord.
