Description:

This is the second recording made in Colmar, France, by Kimiko, a Bach world musician pioneered by Lukács. The recording was made using the same rare original instruments owned by the Unterlinden Museum of Art as the previous one. The main works are three J.S. Bach toccatas, following the previous recording (RGCD-1042), and this completes the seven-track toccata collection. Three pieces from the "Mean Law" were also added, as in the previous album, and of particular note is the "Prelude, Fugue and Allegro BWV 998," which opens the album. Although this piece is designed for lute and harpsichord, it is said to be extremely difficult to express its expression on the harpsichord because of the strong musical characteristics of the lute. The result is extremely interesting, as the performer Ieki himself says that he was able to express himself satisfactorily for the first time with the Lukács. Regulus
