Description
Continuing their survey of Bach transcriptions from the rich 78rpm era, Naxos Historical have assembled a historically interesting and musically rewarding listening experience. Although the paramount goals were to find brilliant performances of historic interest, they also always strove to find the best sounding recordings from the first half of the twentieth century. In this second volume in the continuing Naxos series devoted to historic recordings of piano transcriptions of Bach's music, fifteen works are expertly transformed for the modern piano, by a wide range of artists ranging from Camille Saint-Sa?½ns to Percy Grainger.
