About

Long considered inferior and even detrimental to the original work, transcriptions are today a recognised and much lauded part of the musical catalogue. On this wonderful recording the highly talented young harpsichordist and organist, Benjamin Alard (born 1985) plays transcriptions of music by J S Bach and proves why he is considered one of the worlds great interpreters of music from this period. He is currently organist at the church of St Louis en l’Ile, Paris.
