Like all great composers, Bach wrote lively dynamic pieces for keyboard as well as in his cantatas etc. But he also produced many wonderful gentle and peaceful works and many of these are collected by pianist Jonathan Phillips in his new album ‘Tranquillity’. This recording contains music for anyone hoping to gain an overriding sense of stillness, calm, contemplation and reverence. Bach’s music has radiance, luminosity, divinity, serenity, and timeless beauty.

Jonathan Phillips (“a musician of real quality and finesse” – The Times) has broadcast for the BBC, Russian and Italian and Swedish TV and radio, and has given recitals all over the UK, Europe and former Soviet Union.
