Berlin Harpsichord Concertos - Nichelmann, Graun, Schaffrath & Wolf
Philippe Grisvard, Ensemble Diderot, Johannes Pramsohler
Philippe Grisvard has chosen the repertoire of composers from the court of Frederick II, thus continuing Ensemble Diderot's comprehensive exploration of the style of the Berlin School. After early French violin concertos with Johannes Pramsohler and North German cello concertos with Gulrim Choi, it is now the turn of Ensemble Diderot's harpsichordist to distinguish himself in this genre with these world premiere recordings.
The decision not to include Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in this program facilitates the rehabilitation and rediscovery of composers whose contribution to the concerto genre is no less important. The result is a completely new program of virtuoso works in which the spirit of Bach father and son shines through time and again.
Christoph Nichelmann (1717-1762) , Carl Heinrich Graun (1703-1759) , Christoph Schaffrath (1709-1763) , Ernst Wilhelm Wolf (1735-1792)

These fine performances are surely everything the composers could have asked for. Soloist Philippe Grisvard has energy and precision, but at the same time the singing tone and intelligent ornamentation the music needs to keep it alive.
