Reviews

‘This boldly presented recital … holds the listener from beginning to end’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Herrick's technical mastery is stunningly apparent’ (Contemporary Review)
Jesu, meine Freude, BWV753, is taken from the keyboard collection which Bach compiled for his son Wilhelm Friedemann and has a highly decorated version of the tune over expressive chromatic harmonies.

from notes by Stephen Westrop © 1999

Extrait du recueil pour clavier compilé par Bach à l’intention de son fils Wilhelm Friedemann, Jesu, meine Freude, BWV753 recèle une version fort ornée de la mélodie, par-dessus d’expressives harmonies chromatiques.
