David Fray J. S. Bach: Keyboard Concertos Limited Vinyl 2LP Set
Overview:
David Fray is described by the press as a “poet” and “perhaps the most inspired, certainly the most original Bach player of his generation”. He has always shown a particular affinity and quite an obsession with the German composer, devoting him already 6 albums so far (the latest being the Goldberg Variations released last autumn).
This second album by David Fray, released in 2008, was an incredible success selling over 40,000 units in a few months, mainly in France and Germany. It has now reached nearly 90,000 album sales worldwide and 9,000,000 streams (growing fast).
“Fray's command of colour and imaginative highlighting is intoxicating, and there is a freshness which makes for indisputably rewarding listening.” BBC Music Magazine
“[…] his intelligent phrasing and emotional language are what one would expect of a much older pianist, but they are presented with a healthy dose of Young Man vigour and fun. It is playing which carries the impression that something profound is being communicated.” BBC
