Concerto in the Italian style in F major, BWV 971

Available for over a year

The Italian Concerto successfully demonstrates the popular Italian style prevalent in Germany in the early 18th Century. In 3 contrasting movements, Bach ingeniously transports the colours of an orchestra to a keyboard to produce a piece which dazzles. Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach Performer: Mahan Esfahani (Harpsichord) Recording date: 15 June 2009 Date of broadcast: 28 January 2010
