The joy of experimentation was a central feature of Bach's compositional thinking: the striving to constantly push the boundaries of musical forms as well as the possibilities of instruments and voice - in the service of a perfection that is both aesthetically and spiritually conceived.
The selection of works on the second solo album by harpsichordist Cristiano Gaudio, whose debut recording was awarded a Diapason d'Or and the Choc de l'Année by Classica magazine, is nourished by this spirit. From the dazzling virtuosity of the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue to the contrapuntal density of the Ricercare à 6 from the Musical Offering, from the art of transcription to the "twelve-tone" final fugue of the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier, Bach's music unfolds here as an intellectual adventure - and as a physically tangible borderline experience.
