Volume 4 of Benjamin Alard s complete recording of Bach s keyboard works continues to explore the Weimar period. After À la française we turn to Italy where the Vivaldian concerto reigned in Venice. The young Bach created here a wonderful space of freedom between the transcriber and the improviser. Benjamin Alard performs on three exceptional instruments including a magnificent 1702 harpsichord by Mattia de Gand preserved in Treviso and recently restored.
