Bach’s ‘Harpsichord Concertos’ are arguably the first in the history of music designed specifically for this instrument. Composing them, Bach aimed to adapt the string writing of Italian instrumental concertos to a keyboard instrument, while simultaneously enriching this style with typically-German traits such as counterpoint and motivic development. Francesco Corti and Il Pomo d’Oro present concertos ‘BWV 1052’, ‘1053’, ‘1055’ and ‘1058’.
