Juvenilia

Gabriel Smallwood

Format
Digital
The "Juvenilia" program is devoted to the early works of Johann Sebastian Bach. While considerable attention is paid to his later works, his youthful keyboard compositions remain largely unnoticed, rarely performed and even more rarely recorded. Yet they display a wealth of inventiveness, youthful vigor and experimentation, while at the same time revealing the compositional characteristics of his mature style. This album contains both early compositions by Bach as well as pieces by Dietrich Buxtehude, Johann Adam Reincken and Georg Böhm, who had an important influence on Bach's artistic development and musical identity. The program concludes with two anonymous and previously unpublished pieces from the Andreas Bach Book.
