Loris Barrucand and Clément Geoffroy, harpsichord
Leipzig, 1730. People can come to the Café Zimmermann to see concerts put together by the famous musician Johann Sebastian Bach, with a little help from his sons and friends. In the summertime, music lovers and virtuosos can enjoy the mild evening air in the gardens next door. Loris Barrucand and Clément Geoffroy take a fresh look at this clever, flamboyant music by offering new transcriptions for two harpsichords of concertos by Bach and Vivaldi. Look! There is Bach himself, sipping his coffee under the lime trees in Leipzig as he waits for you!

"So this disc is to be welcomed, not only for its musicianship, but for its reminder of the extraordinary multi-layered sound world in which Bach composed, adapted and re-purposed his music." David Stancliffe - early music review
"Una gioiosa libertà anima questa musica a cui danno voce gli splendidi strumenti di Émile Jobin et Jean-François Chaudeurge, come in un sogno ombreggiato dai tigli del Caffè Zimmermann." Ferruccio Nuzzo - Grey Panthers
