J.S. Bach: Harpsichord Concertos

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Steven Devine (harpsichord & director)

The harpsichord concertos of J.S. Bach form the origins of the keyboard concerto genre that was to continue to flourish through the music of his sons, C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach, and onwards.

Here, celebrated keyboardist Steven Devine is joined by members of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in this recording that features the Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052, Concerto in A major BWV 1055, and the Concerto in D major BWV1054, together with a new reconstruction
 by Steven Devine of the Concerto in D minor BWV 1059.
