J.S. Bach - BWV 1054:1 - Concerto for harpsichord no. 3 - Robert Levin - Helmuth Rilling

“Music should never be merely comfortable, never fossilised, never soothing. It should startle people and reach deep down inside them, forcing them to reflect.”
Helmuth Rilling

Instrumentalist:
Levin, Robert
Orkest:
Bach-Collegium Stuttgart

The surviving violin concerto in E major, BWV 1042 was the model for this work, which was transposed down a tone to allow the top note E6 to be reached as D6, the common top limit on harpsichords of the time. The opening movement is one of the rare Bach concerto first movements in da capo A–B–A form.

In 1845 Ignaz Moscheles performed the concerto in London.
