Ewald Demeyere – Keyboard Variations (2020) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

Ewald Demeyere performs Keyboard Variations by CPE Bach and Mozart on the harpsichord in what is an inquiring and original project. Demeyere shows us the two profoundly different styles from the composers in works dating from the same years.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) are not composers whose works are regularly included in the same concert or recording program. One reason for this is probably of a stylistic nature: Bach wrote in the empfindsame Stil and in the Sturm und Drang style, while Mozart used a language that today is described as classical. For Ewald Demeyere, it is precisely this stylistic difference between the two composers, whose four works on this album were written between 1777 and 1782, that makes such a musical encounter so fascinating. Another reason why compositions by Bach and Mozart are not often programmed together seems to have to do with the choice of instrument. Today, in the context of historically informed performances, Bach’s solo keyboard repertoire is mainly played on the clavichord and that of Mozart on the fortepiano. Both men, however, also played the harpsichord frequently, a fact which it is so interesting as to choose precisely that keyboard instrument for this recording.
