J. S. Bach: Inventions & Sinfonias, French Suite V

This is the eagerly awaited new Bach recording by Austrian pianist and Alfred Brendel protégé Till Fellner whose Well-Tempered Clavier I won him many fans worldwide. The album follows an almost 20-year-period of study and performance of these accessible and popular pieces and it shows Bach on the modern piano at its best; warm and glowing but transparent playing of highest sophistication.

Till Fellner's international career began in 1993 when he won the Clara Haskil Competition, since when he has performed with leading orchestras in the great capitals of Europe, Japan, and the United States and at major festivals. He has worked with conductors of the stature of Abbado, Ashkenazy, von Dohnányi, Harnoncourt, Mackerras, Masur and Welser-Möst. He also plays regularly in a trio with Lisa Batiashvili and Adrian Brendel and works closely with the tenor Mark Padmore.
