A fascinating juxtaposition - the seven early toccatas of J.S. Bach are interweaved with the 6th of Peter Seabourne's nine "Steps" cycles, the concept of renowned Bach player, Konstantin Lifschitz. Far from the Romantic toccata style, these canvases are multi-sectional kaleidoscopes of texture and tempi - each a miniature world encompassing virtuosity, intimacy and narrative. In the masterly hands of Lifschitz the result is a monumental journey of extraordinary invention. Konstantin Lifschitz has established a worldwide reputation for performing extraordinary feats of endurance with honesty and persuasive beauty. He is giving recitals and playing concertos in the world's leading concert halls and orchestras, besides being an active recording artist. His performance was praised as "the most magical moment" and "deeply satisfying" by The Independent, and "naturally expressive and gripping" by the New York Times.
