Bach: Partitas
recordingOct 2023Und Trevor Pinnock, mittlerweile 76 Jahre jung, befeuert die exzellenten, mit kanadischen Gästen angereicherten Solisten der Royal Academy zu einer ungemein frischen, tänzerisch beschwingten, quicklebendigen Performance, die swingt und groovt, als weilte Bach, der Urheber, noch unter uns. Hier beginnt das Universum zu tanzen und wir stellen erneut fest: J.S. Bach ist und bleibt der modernste Komponist aller Zeiten.

Bach: Goldberg Variations
recordingApr 2021Pinnock, known for his devotion to early music, has turned up a splendid alternative to the composer’s original keyboard work that works just about perfectly. While some tempos allow us to luxuriate a little more in the composer’s richly expressed ideas, it is difficult to think of anyone disliking what is heard here. I’d even extend my welcome and say I absolutely love this new dimension of Goldberg listening...Do not under any circumstance miss this.

Well Tempered Clavier Book I
RecordingJul 2020The quality of these performances is immediately apparent in the opening prelude and fugue, the former unaffectedly simple and the latter beautifully pointed with a clear sense of structure and an attractive hint of inequality. There are also moments of exhilarating virtuosity as in the superbly limpid Presto in the second prelude and the life-enhancing lightness of the B flat major Prelude.

Pinnock leads us through Bach’s exploration of all 24 major and minor keys with unerring style, impeccable technique and a youthful sense of wonder...for all-embracing readings that, like the music itself, will stand the test of time, Pinnock now goes straight to the top of my list.

Beethoven: Violin Concerto
Kammerorchester Basel, Vilde FrangOct 2017Mit Beethovens Violinkonzert in D-Dur änderte sich der Charakter der Musik fundamental. Auch mit modernem Instrumentarium vermochte Trevor Pinnock als Experte historisch informierten Musizierens eine Klangsprache im Sinne des Komponisten umzusetzen, unauffällig in der Tempowahl. Die Ansprache war direkt, nie grob, die Artikulation leicht, die Dynamik sorgfältig

70th birthday concert
National Centre for Ealt MusicDec 2016The remarkable aspect was not how small the ensemble sounded, but how large: as Pinnock built up the momentum of the fifth Brandenburg’s famous, extended cadenza you were put in mind that Bach treated the harpsichord the way Jimi Hendrix treated amplifiers, as if willing them to explode.
