Albrecht Mayer discovered the music of J.S. Bach at the age of 8, as a choirboy at Bamberg Cathedral. Within a couple of years he was able to play some of the composer’s simpler keyboard pieces on the piano. “Even then,” he recalls, “I could feel this transcendent image of his music going through my veins.” The more he studied Bach the more he loved his writing. As he notes, however, its power does not require specialist knowledge. “You can dive very deep into his music, but even when you have no idea about it, it still speaks to your heart.” In recent years, Mayer’s research has focused on the wider Bach family – this album is based on the thread of genius that runs through the different generations to produce works that embrace the styles of the late-Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras.

The members of Bach’s family also made music at home and there is no doubt that these domestic concerts will often have included the aria Bist du bei mir by Bach’s colleague as kapellmeister, Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, which Bach’s wife, Anna Magdalena, transcribed into her Notenbüchlein.

The album 'BACH GENERATIONS' was recorded with the Berliner Barock Solisten and Gottfried von der Goltz (solo violin/concertmaster) Listen to the full album here: http://dgt.link/Mayer-Bach
