Bach: Orchestral Suites Nos. 1-3 (Piano transcriptions by Giuseppe Martucci) – Chiara Bertoglio

Chiara Bertoglio has accustomed her audience to a repertoire of commitment on a musical rather than intellectual level. Here she faces three Bachian works for the world premiere, the only ones that the Italian Giuseppe Martucci decided to transcribe, corresponding to the first three orchestral suites of the Kantor in Leipzig. A monumental work due to virtuostic commitment and necessary concentration, where Bertoglio demonstrates that she knows how to navigate the impervious folds imposed by Bach and multiplied by Martucci in an ingenious reduction and complex concert piano transcription. An essential record for any lover of Italy, Bach and above all of great music.
