David Fray – Bach Concertos for 2, 3 & 4 Pianos
Erato
David Fray presents a collaborative album of Bach concertos for two, three and four pianos. He performs with Audrey Vigoureux, Emmanuel Christien and Jacques Rouvier in what he calls "a musical family affair". Fray, along with Vigoureux and Christien, has studied under Rouvier, and all four players feature on the album.
The four pianists were joined by the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse to record the Bach concertos in Toulouse's 18th-century Carmelite Chapel. The authentic recording is, both in acoustics and execution, a refreshing compilation of Bach's plentiful piano works.
