{"product_id":"bach-litalie","title":"Bach \u0026 l'Italie","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohann Sebastian Bach hardly ever left his native Saxony; yet he was always up to date on what was going on elsewhere in Europe. Naturally; he paid close attention to innovations from Italy; the cradle of the concertante style; and instilled transalpine sparkle in his brilliant counterpoint; especially in his keyboard works. Proof of this may be found in the pieces based on originals by the Venetians Antonio Vivaldi and Benedetto Marcello; in which Bach transcends everything with his polyphonic genius. In the large-scale Italian Concerto; the future composer of the Goldberg Variations revisits Corelli and; once again; Vivaldi. After several solo recordings devoted to musical dynasties (La Famille Forqueray; La Famille Rameau and Les Frères Francoeur); Justin Taylor sets off on a voyage of exploration of Bach and Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309953360152,"sku":"3760014199981","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4405938-3329918.jpg?v=1777534784","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/bach-litalie","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
