Bach: Harpsichord Concertos / Halls

CKD410

Having wowed the critics with its 2011 recording of ‘J.S. Bach: Easter and Ascension Oratorios’ Retrospect Ensemble returns with Bach’s Harpsichord Concertos. Director Matthew Halls takes on the role of soloist, having proved both his keyboard virtuosity and affinity with Bach’s harpsichord music in his debut solo recording, ‘J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations’, which International Record Review named ‘Outstanding’. Founded by Matthew Halls, Retrospect Ensemble takes its musicians and audiences on an exciting journey, exploring the repertoire of four centuries and embracing the practices, styles and aesthetics of former ages with renewed vigor and a fresh approach. In 2010 the 36-year-old was announced as The Oregon Bach Festival’s next artistic director, due to his ‘international reputation in the worlds of choral and early music [and] consummate skill as a Bach interpreter.’ He shall assume the role in 2013
