It's a measure of how far the period-instrument movement has come that the word "piano" doesn't appear anywhere in the graphics for this recording of Bach keyboard concertos by pianist Nick van Bloss and the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by David Parry. Van Bloss takes pains in his booklet notes to justify piano performance, and furthermore pianistic performance, but he needn't have been defensive: these are crisp readings that won't unduly distress harpsichord partisans. Van Bloss adds some bass octaves and some light pedal in the slow movements, but he is not ladling sentiment over the music. The pianist's calling card is his uncanny precision, effectively deployed in polyphonic passages. Van Bloss manages the trick of making the keyboard emerge clearly from the texture without turning it into a Romantic solo part. It's not clear exactly how the English Chamber Orchestra realized van Bloss' instructions to play vibrato "in a way that produced a 'warming' of the tone," but the effect from this still-great small orchestra is indeed novel: light yet rich. The collective effort is a bit dry at a times (sample the Allegro assai finale of the Keyboard Concerto in G minor, BWV 1058, for the extreme), but van Bloss' readings are unusually transparent, and you get the feeling Bach would have appreciated the detail with which his ingenious transcription efforts (several of these concertos were transcriptions and adaptations) are revealed here. A curious detail is the the G minor concerto and the BWV 1054 and BWV 1056 concertos are heard at a pitch a half-step higher than indicated by the given keys, apparently due to tuning. The concertos were not intended as a set, however, and no symmetry is disturbed by this. For those in search of a release that neither has the piano stand in for the harpsichord nor takes Bach's music merely as a stimulus for further creative activity, this may make a good pick.
