  • Description

    When the name Johann Nikolaus Forkel (1749-1818) is mentioned today, the first thing that comes to mind is the early career of the great Johann Sebastian Bach, who was taught by this hardworking, ingenious man from Upper Franconia. Beyond this, musicologists regard him as the "founder of advanced modern musicology", which, according to a widespread prejudice, is associated with a lack of creativity. But this is far from true. Forkel, who was a professor in Gottingen for many years, has left us with a splendid body of work, including the four piano concertos recorded here for the first time. Although they follow classical lines, there are many moments of enchanting music, and the slow movements are expressive and poignant. Tobias Koch, one of the most outstanding specialists for historical keyboard instruments, and the Kolner Akademie under Michael Alexander Willens.
