In most collections of Bach's harpsichord works, the Italian Concerto and the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue are regularly found, but Richard Egarr is almost apologetic for including such favorites on this disc. He is quick to point out in his liner notes how hearing them in context - alongside Bach's lesser known transcriptions - may bring a reassessment of these overly familiar but brilliant pieces. Whether or not Egarr rescues them from their deserved popularity is beside the point, for his varied program is fascinating and enjoyable without any need to justify the selections. Scholars may derive insights from Egarr's study of Bach's development, in which transcribing the works of older composers played an essential part. To this end, Egarr provides much of the interest by including Bach's transcriptions of two of Vivaldi's concertos and Reincken's Sonata from "Hortus Musicus." But the lay listener can enjoy these virtuosic re-creations without knowing details of their evolution, and Egarr's energetic playing is quite engaging, almost in spite of his didactic tendencies. If anything here is too pointedly pedantic, it is Egarr's completion of Bach's unfinished Fugue in C minor, which is perhaps too earnest an ending for an otherwise lively album. Harmonia Mundi's recording is excellent, and the harpsichord's sound is robust and appealing.
