Description
Russian pianist Alexei Lubimov is the rare artist who has been a trailblazer in two directions, both a champion of new music (from Cage to Silvestrov) and a dedicated interpreter of Baroque music with a passion for period instruments.
In this remarkable reading of music by CPE Bach, Lubimov responds to the inventiveness of the composer's fantasies, sonatas and rondos by making full creative use of the sonorities of the tangent piano. Briefly popular in the early 18th century, the tangent piano (whose strings are struck from beneath by wood or metal "tangents" and allowed to vibrate) offered greater expressiveness and intensity than the harpsichord.
