Béatrice MARTIN Harpsichord
Les Folies Françoises Patrick Cohën-Akenine


The works on this recording are undoubtedly well-known, and it is a commonplace to say that they invented the very genre of keyboard concerto in western music. For Béatrice Martin the desire to record these concertos for harpsichord and strings stemmed from the conjuncture of two magnificently sounding instruments: a harpsichord by the Hamburg maker Christian Zell (1737) and one by the Barcelona maker Johan Marti, built in 2001 after the model of Zell. The chamber formation of the Folies Françoises that accompanies these robust, heady harpsichords corresponds not only to the letter but also very much to the spirit of these works. In listening to these concertos, the BWV 1052-1056 group of Bach?s harpsichord concertos, one is struck by the strength with which the harpsichord is endowed as it supports the orchestral line and nourishes it with unequalled power. Listening to these harpsichords as played by Béatrice Martin with inspired intensity is to penetrate the intimacy of these works and at the same time to enter into Bach?s workshop at a time when the most learned of composers had set his heart on providing entertainment with infectiously agreeable music.

Johann Sebastian Bach | Concerto in Dialogo (Ref.: CYP1652)
The liturgy is so constructed that in some of its most beautiful passages a dialogue emerges between the Spiritual and the human. Bach, in whom lay a fervent yet frustrated dramaturge, was able to give ? at times - an operatic dimension to his many cantatas. Those that concern us on this very fine disc blend the liturgical aspect with a more theatrical dimension.
