Fake Bach
Luigi Palombi
Piano arrangements of the great man’s work by composers in the late-19th century, some of them deliciously over-the-top. Palombi’s approach is suitably grandiloquent.

About
The concept behind Fake Bach is to record a recital dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach featuring piano transcriptions that are daring and scandalous, providing a unique perspective on Bachs music. Encouraged by Franz Liszt and reflecting the progressive Bach Renaissance of the 1800s, these transcriptions date from 1850 to the First World War. The pianist-composer-virtuosos on this album researched the essence of Bachs genius and ended up expressing mostly themselves and their own personalities, dissolving the space between interpreter and their object-of-love composer.
