C.P.E. Bach: Württemberg Sonatas (6), Wq. 49 Keith Jarrett, piano ECM New Series 2790/91 (1994/2023). Manfred Eicher, prod.; Peter Laenger, eng. Performance ***** Sonics ***** Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett developed an interest in classical music midcareer, performing music by J.S. Bach and Shostakovich—whose linear styles he presumably found congenial. From the booklet: "I heard the Württemberg Sonatas recorded by harpsichordists, and I felt there was space for a piano version." He recorded them in 1994. This is their first release.
