About
Exploring the myriad possibilities of Bach on the piano, Beatrice Rana engages in intimate and illuminating dialogue with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta in four of the composer’s keyboard concertos: BWV1052 in D minor, BWV1053 in E major, BWV1054 in D major, and BWV1056 in F minor. For the New York Times, Rana’s distinction as an interpreter of Bach lies in “preternatural sensitivity, sophistication and control, along with a touch of magic.” She describes the composer as “an important figure in my life … My piano studies began when I was very young and Bach was there from the very start.” At the age of nine she played the F minor concerto, BWV1056, in her first public concert with orchestra. 20 years later she and the Amsterdam Sinfonietta toured these four concertos before taking them into the recording studio. “Made in heaven,” is how Bachtrack described their musical partnership, “Soloist and ensemble were playing as one.” For Beatrice Rana, part of the genius of Bach’s music lies in the way it “transcends its era and the musical technologies of its time and still feels modern to listeners today.”

May 2025
There are traces of Romanticism in Rana’s handling of the F minor concerto’s central Largo, and again in the interplay between piano and strings during the D minor concerto’s opening Allegro...the Sinfonietta players are particularly adept at interweaving the strings with the piano lines in Bach’s contrapuntal passages.
April 2025
the impression is of a player who, while always in command of her instrument, has fully committed herself to the emotional contours of Bach’s music. Nothing reveals this more clearly than the way she draws the shapely lines of his slow movements.
