This latest installment of the popular series showcases the reissue of a path-breaking composer edition as well as recordings by some of the labels' greatest artists of the last half-century. Rudolf Serkin is rightly revered for his powerful interpretations of the Austro-German Classical and Romantic piano repertoire, but he was also an outstanding Bach player. In the 1920s he began a decades-long partnership with the great German violinist-conductor Adolf Busch (his future father-in-law) that led to, among countless treasures, a classic set of the Brandenburg Concertos, recorded in London in 1935, and many performances of the Bach Violin Sonatas, including a live recording of No. 3 in E major, BWV 1016, made in Washington in 1943. That performance is now being reissued in a new Sony Classical release containing all of Serkin's Bach for American Columbia. The new collection contains another famous recording of the Brandenburgs featuring Rudolf Serkin's magnificent continuo playing on piano (and his son Peter playing harpsichord continuo in No. 6), made in 1965 at the Marlboro Festival in Vermont (founded by Adolf Busch), led by Alexander Schneider and conducted by Pablo Casals. There are also performances of Bach's two Concertos for 3 Keyboards that Serkin recorded at Marlboro and Casals's Prades Festival with pianist-colleagues Mieczyslaw Horszowski, Peter Serkin and Ruth Laredo; Serkin père playing solo works including the Chromatic Fantasy and Italian Concerto; and the 14 canons based on the Aria from the Goldberg Variations that was discovered in 1974 in Bach's own copy of the printed works, with Serkin's \"concentrated, reflective, crystal-clear, and beautifully balanced performance\" (Andrew Porter, writing in High Fidelity) of the Aria.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcerto for 3 Harpsichords, Strings and Continuo in D minor BWV 1063\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuth Laredo · Mieczyslaw Horszowski Pianos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcerto for 3 Harpsichords, Strings and Continuo in C Major BWV 1064\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Serkin · Mieczyslaw Horszowski Pianos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarlboro Festival Orchestra · Alexander Schneider Conductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 Canons on the First 8 Notes of the Aria from the Goldberg Variations BWV 1087\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelix Galimir · Eugene Drucker · Isidore Cohen · Naoko Tanaka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYukiko Kamei · Lynn Horner · Roland Greutter · Gregory Fulkerson Violins 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilipp Naegele · Steven Ansell · Irene Serkin · Caroline Levine Violas 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohannes Goritzki · Timothy Eddy · Peter Rejto Cellos 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarc Marder Double Bass · Julia Bogorad Flute 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudolph Vrbsky Oboe · Michael Rosenberg English Horn 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexander Heller · Christopher Millard Bassoons 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD 2 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F Major BWV 1046 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major BWV 1049 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major BWV 1050 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarlboro Festival Orchestra · Pablo Casals Conductor 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD 3 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor BWV 903 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian Concerto in F Major BWV 971 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapriccio in B-Flat Major BWV 992 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToccata in E minor BWV 914 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata for Harpsichord and Violin No. 3 in E Major BWV 1016 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdolf Busch Violin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190759216828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony Masterworks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.26.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59572222034001,"sku":"602270","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3907540.jpg?v=1779923407","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/j-bach-s-serkin-rudolf-serkin-plays-bach-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
