No! Johann Sebastian Bach did not live for 400 years. However, he occupies a pivotal position in the history of keyboard music. The works on this unusual CD span four centuries, exploring the influence of earlier composers upon Bach, Bach's own music, and his influence on later composers. Although some of the pieces on this disc were originally composed for the harpsichord, all of the works are performed on the modern Steinway concert grand. Louis Nagel was born in Louisville, Kentucky and earned three degrees at Juilliard where he studied with Rosina Lhevinne and Joseph Bloch. Since 1969 he has served on the piano faculty at the University of Michigan.
