Bach in Venice

De Nardo, Giulio;
Sestier Armonico

CDX-72201

Transcription is a process in which a composition is set for a different solo instrument than the one originally intended. In the past, this was a more common practice than it is today, used for different reasons and for different purposes.
This also gave rise to the idea of creating six new concertos for solo harpsichord and orchestra by using the original orchestral scores by Antonio Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello as well as the harpsichord part of the transcriptions by Johann Sebastian Bach.
This new arrangement by Giulio De Nardo thus offers the opportunity to expand the repertoire for keyboard instrument and orchestra on the one hand, and on the other to introduce today's listeners, who are already familiar with the original versions, to the colors and nuances of this new sound combination with this world premiere recording. As Bach never visited Venice in person, the title of the CD has been put in quotation marks.
