(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Léon Berben's recording - the first volume of a projected series devoted to Wilhelm Friedemann Bach's keyboard music - was issued to mark the three hundredth anniversary of the composer's birth in 2010. Berben is alert to the sudden changes of mood and character, capable of a lyrical cantabile tone in the recitative-like passages, and brilliant articulation in the virtuosic bravura sections; these, together with his impeccable sense of timing, bring the music's inherent drama to life. Wollny's liner notes and concise biographical sketch provide a good contextual overview, although the latter strikes an almost apologetic tone with regard to Friedemann's faltering career and temperamental character, examined in more detail in recent studies by Ulrich Kahmann ( Wilhelm Friedemann Bach: Der unterschätzte Sohn (Bielefeld: Aisthesis, 2010)), who adopts a primarily biographical focus, and David Schulenberg (The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2010)), who concentrates on the compositions themselves (see the review by John Butt in this issue of Eighteenth-Century Music).
