… hear Bach performed on modern piano – if you are one of those calcified troglodytes who proclaims that you 'don't like the sound of the harpsichord' – then you might consider this recording of the Preludes and Fugues by John Lewis, the classically-trained pianist of the Modern Jazz Quartet. It has the virtue of integrity; that is, it treats the piano as a piano, and not a harpsichord wannabe. Bach's compositions do NOT employ the full resources of the modern grand piano, for the obvious reason that those resources were not available on even a double-manual harpsichord. But the harpsichord had resources that the modern piano has lost.
In any case, Lewis's Bach is suave, groovy, casual - cocktail Bach, if you will. To call it "cerebral and spiritual", as a previous reviewer has, makes no sense to my ears at all; it's exactly the opposite. Lewis also relies on 'back-up' strings for some of the preludes, making them sound quite schmaltzy at times. Don't get me wrong here! I'm not denouncing what Lewis has done. I enjoy it. He's taken 'written' music by JS Bach and conflated it with his own sensibilities as an improviser. The 'line' between composer and performer, and by implication between classical music and jazz, is a theme always worth discussing.
