A fascinating juxtaposition - the seven early toccatas of Johann Sebastian Bach are interleaved with the 6th of Peter Seabourne's nine Steps cycles, the concept of renowned Bach player, Konstantin Lifschitz. Far from the Romantic toccata style, these canvases are multi-sectional kaleidoscopes of texture and tempi - each a miniature world encompassing virtuosity, intimacy and narrative. In the masterly hands of Lifschitz the result is a monumental journey of extraordinary invention. © Willowhayne Records
