Back to Bach
Truthfully, I wasn't as over-joyed with this CD as I expected to be. I bought it on the basis of the title track, which I heard on FM radio. The title track is, indeed, a jewel; the rest is, in my view, only high-grade minerals. It's "background"...

Bach would have loved this!
Gabriela Montero shows how brilliant an innovator she is, not only in the reworking of some of Bach's classical works but how she seamlessly weaves the connections between his time and ours. Some of the innovations are jazzy, some evoke Latin...
