Overview

This rare 1990 Hungaroton cassette features celebrated Hungarian harpsichordist János Sebestyén performing a fascinating and historically significant selection of Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard arrangements of Antonio Vivaldi's concertos. Bach transcribed over twenty Italian concertos for solo harpsichord or organ, transforming Vivaldi's violin and orchestral works into dazzling keyboard pieces. Sebestyén expertly navigates these six Baroque transcriptions (BWV 972, 973, 975, 976, 978, 980), offering listeners a clear, bright, and virtuoso performance that illuminates the genius of Bach's adaptations and the structural clarity of Vivaldi's original music.

Termékáttekintés (Hungarian Translation)

Ez a ritka, 1990-es Hungaroton kazetta Sebestyén János elismert magyar csembalóművészt mutatja be, aki Johann Sebastian Bach csembalóra átírt, történelmileg jelentős Antonio Vivaldi concertóit adja elő. Bach több mint húsz olasz concertót dolgozott át szóló csembalóra vagy orgonára, Vivaldi hegedű- és zenekari műveit káprázatos billentyűs darabokká alakítva. Sebestyén mesterien adja elő a hat barokk átiratot (BWV 972, 973, 975, 976, 978, 980), tiszta, élénk és virtuóz előadást kínálva, amely megvilágítja Bach adaptációinak zsenialitását és Vivaldi eredeti zenéjének szerkezeti tisztaságát. Ez a vintage klasszikus zenei kazetta értékes kincs a régi billentyűs zene és a barokk csembalófelvételek gyűjtői számára.

Interesting Facts

• The Bach-Vivaldi Connection: J. S. Bach encountered the music of Vivaldi in Weimar around 1713 and was profoundly influenced by the Italian master's concise, energetic forms. Bach's subsequent transcriptions of Vivaldi's concertos were not just exercises; they were a systematic study of the Italian concerto form, which Bach then integrated into his own orchestral and keyboard works. These transcriptions are foundational pieces for understanding Bach's musical development.
• Virtuosic Adaptations: By arranging Vivaldi’s ensemble music for a single keyboard, Bach essentially created a new solo genre. The solo harpsichord had to simultaneously play the rapid solo violin lines and the rhythmic orchestral accompaniment, turning the pieces into brilliant, technically demanding showcases for the instrument.
• János Sebestyén's Authority: János Sebestyén (1931–2014) was one of Hungary's foremost harpsichordists and organists, renowned for his command of the Baroque repertoire. His performances, often documented by Hungaroton, are celebrated for their intellectual rigor and technical brilliance, making this a definitive Hungarian recording of Bach's transcriptions.
• The Concerto Collection: The six concertos on this album are part of Bach's famous BWV 972-987 series, which primarily adapts works by Vivaldi and other Venetian composers. They stand as a testament to the powerful cross-cultural exchange that defined the late Baroque era.
