The present album is to be understood as a complement to the box of four CDs (CAPRICCIO 7015) containing transcriptions and paraphrases based on seventeen different composers. It features Bach arrangements not yet represented in that collection but does not include those works that Busoni published without exercising significant changes in his capacity as an editor. The program also includes some world premiere recordings of transcriptions the Berlin Pianist Holger Groschopp could find in the archives, and the arrangement of works by Bach also enjoyed great popularity in Busonis circle of pupils as some of the world premiere recorded pieces demonstrate.

YES!
Wonderful playing and recording. Note that this does not contain all of Groschopp's Busoni/Bach transcriptions. Others can be found in a 4 disc set, "Feruccio Busoni: Piano Transcriptions," also beatifully prayed and recorded, and worthy of your attention.

Piano transcriptions of familiar and unfamilar works of The Master.
Most of the Bach piano transcriptions by Busoni that I have heard previously were "old-lady-like," far too tame and emotionally sterile. This particular compilation of them contained many pleasant surprises, where quite unexpected resources of the piano were called upon. The performance is also impeccable throughout, which is always a big plus.

Rarely heard Busoni arrangements of the music of J.S. Bach
Excellent performances and beautifully recorded.

穏やかなバッハ
なんといっても「羊は安らかに草を食み」のピアノ版が聴けるのが嬉しい。癒される。穏やかな気持ちにもなれるし、演奏自体も極めて穏やかだ。音色はピアーズ・レーンをもっとしっとりとさせたような感じ。慌ただしい現代の日常に一服の安穏を与えてくれる。似たような作品で「BACH-BUSONI」Sandro Ivo Bartoriもあるが、こちらのGroschoppの方がオススメ!!
