5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising and really rather compelling!, 14 April 2009
By Mr. Mark A. Meldon (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't ask me why, but I have developed a taste for the fortepiano and, whilst looking for something else entirely, stumbled upon this 2003 Avie (an excellent record label) quite by accident. When I first put the CD into my player and heard the square piano in the J C Bach Concerto that opens the programme, I laughed out loud!

I could hear what sounds a bit like hearing a fortepiano set in some sort of distant room or down the wrong end of a telescope to choose a not entirely appropriate analogy when you see the pictures of the instrument being played.

Then I listened on and became struck by how "right" all of this very tuneful music sounded. I have now played this disc 15 or so times and I'm hooked! Aside from 3 J C Bach concertos, we have Carl Abel from 1774, Philip Hayes in the world's first piano concerto from 1769, and James Hook from 1770.

Expert players are to be found here. Leader David Owen Norris is joined by Monica Hugget, Emilia Benjamin, and Joseph Crouch. You can tell that they had a lot of fun recording this CD in 2002, and, for something off the beaten track, this is very highly recommended indeed.
