In this new album from pianist Eleonor Bindman, works by J.S. Bach originally composed for the lautenwerk (lute-harpsichord) are presented in piano transcriptions, offering a fresh perspective on some rarely explored masterpieces. While they have been performed on harpsichord, lute, and guitar, this recording brings a new dimension to these works, showcasing their intricate structures, rich textures, and emotive character on the modern piano.

Highlights include BWV 997 and 998, featuring stunning fugues with ornate middle sections unlike typical keyboard fugues, and a heartfelt arrangement of "Betrachte, meine Seele" from St. John's Passion, which serves as a moving conclusion to the album.

Followers of Eleonor Bindman's previous transcriptions-such as The Brandenburg Duets and The Cello Suites -will appreciate this latest addition to the pianist's catalogue, recorded on a Bösendorfer piano which truly captures the remarkable richness of Bach's writing.
