Pianist and harpsichordist Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya offers an intimate reading of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Prelude in C Minor, BWV 999, highlighting the work’s quiet introspection and expressive clarity. Filmed with elegant simplicity, the performance provides a fitting introduction to her latest album, Transformations.
Released by Linn, Transformations presents Bach as a composer who constantly reimagined existing music, whether by adapting concertos by Vivaldi and Marcello, reshaping his own works, or creating new versions of pieces originally conceived for different instruments. The programme also includes the celebrated Italian Concerto, illustrating the remarkable breadth of Bach’s creative reinvention.
Following her acclaimed debut recording devoted to Gottlieb Muffat, Nepomnyashchaya once again combines historical insight with refined musicianship in a recital that sheds fresh light on familiar masterpieces.
