Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhausorchester, Leipzig follow the international success of their recording of Gershwin's piano concerto in F with five of Bach's best-loved concertos for keyboard - a recording which has already stayed 7 weeks in the Italian pop charts. The soloist is young Iranian-born Bach specialist Ramin Bahrami. Well known on the international concert platform, Ramin Bahrami studied with the legendary American Bach pianist Rosalyn Tureck - the artist who perhaps more than any other brought the composer's keyboard works to the attention of the public through her research and recordings. The Gewandhausorchester, from Bach's city of Leipzig, have a long history of outstanding Bach performance. Most recently they recorded three of Bach's great masterpieces for Decca - the Brandenburg Concertos, the St.Matthew Passion and The Christmas Oratorio - all under Maestro Chailly, the current Kapellmeister of Leipzig.
