‘Aria with variations for a harpsichord with two manuals … to the glory of God and for the refreshment of the spirit’ – JS Bach
Bach takes advantage of the different tone qualities provided by each of the harpsichord’s two keyboards, constructing a fascinating aural landscape, in which each of the player’s hands uses both extremes of each keyboard. What better way to enjoy this spectacle, than to watch and listen close up with MDCH?
