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 CD 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 given recitals all over the UK, Europe and former

Soviet Union. Jonathan was interviewed by John Humphries and

played live on Radio Four's Today programme following a full-page

feature article in the Guardian Arts Section about the preparation and

performance of the Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto he gave in

London in 2003.
