The album is a classical CD. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REZENSION \u003cbr\u003e Hard to know which star shines brightest here: Andreas Staier's or that of the instrument, a copy of a 1734 Hass. It's a bruiser of a harpsichord with deep, rich tonal resources on which Wanda Landowska would have felt at home! Staier gives a thorough workout exploring JS Bach's youthful indiscretions. Certainly there's nothing 'discreet' about the D minor Toccata, which closes with a gigue fugue running on essence of sunshine - under Staier's fingers the final bars are scorching. Luckily the sobriety of the chorale partita is to hand, ready to douse any flames in a cleverly rounded portrait which includes his secular reply to Kuhnau's Biblical Sonatas, 'Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother', and the neglected A minor Suite whose Sarabande Staier invests with a compelling French gravitas. --Paul Riley, BBC Music Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56477176201590,"sku":"0794881868629","price":14.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_867363_809760_jpg_ec3f0ceb-3e54-4a08-8568-7007a66e4c82.jpg?v=1760726322","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0794881868629-early-works-staier","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
