Concertos pour Piano, BWV1052, 1055, 1056

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Michel Corboz & Maria João Pires

Concertos pour Piano, BWV 1052, 1055 and 1056 is a set of keyboard concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the 1730s. They exemplify Baroque concerto practice through virtuosic solo keyboard writing set against richly textured orchestral accompaniment, employing ritornello structures and contrapuntal development that illustrate Bach's adaptation of Italian concerto forms within his keyboard repertoire.
First released: 1996
