Like all great composers, Bach wrote lively dynamic pieces forkeyboard as well as in his cantatas etc. But he also produced manywonderful gentle and peaceful works and many of these are collectedby pianist Jonathan Phillips in his new album 'Tranquillity'.This CD contains music for anyone hoping to gain an overriding senseof stillness, calm, contemplation and reverence. Bach's music hasradiance, luminosity, divinity, serenity, and timeless beauty.Jonathan Phillips ("a musician of real quality and finesse" - The Times) has broadcast for the BBC, Russian and Italian and SwedishTV and radio, and given recitals all over the UK, Europe and formerSoviet Union. Jonathan was interviewed by John Humphries andplayed live on Radio Four's Today programme following a full-pagefeature article in the Guardian Arts Section about the preparation andperformance of the Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto he gave inLondon in 2003.
