Bach, Gubaidulina, Hindemith Bach / Busoni: Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ: Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland;
Chaconne Anna Gourari - piano ECM 2255 476 4661 Bach arranged and influenced; a well conceived programme framing Gubaidulina's Chaconne and the young Hindemith's anarchic 1922 Suite (which I used to enjoy playing, but had never heard till now). Anna Gouari is a charismatic Russian pianist born in Kazan, as was Gubaidulina. Recommended; enjoy her on YouTube. Peter Grahame Woolf
