Bach’s transcriptions from Vivaldi (as well as from Telemann, Couperin and others) are re-presented in this recording. It is well known how the musician early in his compositional career refined and softened his style by studying and transcribing Vivaldi, extending the exercise in later times for didactic purposes. On the basis of the little documentation that has remained to us, it seems that Bach made only minor changes to these works: details that in most cases nevertheless reveal the great master’s “griffè’, even if only in the reworking of a harmony or the addition of a counterpoint; subtleties that enhance the practical use of the keyboard instrument over the violin base (Bruno Lepido).
