With their new album Generations, renowned duo Aleksandra and Alexander Grychtolik present famous 'influencers' of music for keyboard instruments who played a decisive role in shaping the transition from the galant style to Viennese Classicism.

The journey begins with W.F.Bach and C.P.E. Bach, who composed works for two harpsichords in succession to their father J.S. Bach, and leads via J.C. Bach to Mozart, who is known to have been strongly inspired by the music of the Bach sons and, like the youngest Bach son, was one of the first composers to create piano works for four hands.

Alexander Grychtolik spent many years exploring the art of Baroque composition, an endeavour that culminated in a number of internationally renowned reconstructions of JS Bach's vocal works, broadcast on German and other European public radio networks. He founded the ensemble Mitteldeutsche Hofmusik in 2008, devoted to reviving the musical tradition of Baroque courts in Middle Germany, especially occasional works. He is married to the harpsichordist Aleksandra Magdalena Grychtolik, with whom he has appeared in concert and with whom he now performs on this new recording from the Passacaile label.
