Amazon.comVladimir Feltsman's playing of these concertos is truly remarkable. His pointed phrasing and varied articulation keep the music alive. He decorates the text freely with authentic embellishments, just as Bach would have done. The small orchestra doesn't seem to suffer from having its conductor so profitably occupied elsewhere, and keeps very well coordinated with the solo part. In the bonus (the "Italian" Concerto, Bach's translation of concerto grosso style to the solo keyboard), Feltsman plays with detached articulation to simulate the clarity of the harpsichord, and convincingly imitates the large versus small instrumental groups that Bach wrote into the score. Lovers of piano Bach should not miss this one. --Leslie Gerber
