Bach’s seven Toccatas are highly intricate, “pianistically” elaborate works, in free, quasi‐improvisatory style, demanding a high level of virtuosity. This is the perfect repertoire for young Italian Alessandro Deljavan, one of the most remarkable and original pianists of today. He lets his imagination free reign, is eloquent in the recitativestyle episodes, shows his incredible sense of polyphony in the fugues and displays a blinding and glittering pianism in the virtuoso sections: spellbinding!
