It is a universal music that is entirely at the service of a higher power: Bach's music is worship. With this basic attitude, Konstanze Eickhorst dedicates her new GENUIN recording to a hand-picked selection of Bach's piano works. It shows a broad spectrum of Bach's music, from the positive, forceful F major of the Italian Concerto to the two partitas – the delicate one in B-flat major and the playful one in G major – to the D minor of the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue. Konstanze Eickhorst's career also began with Bach: she won a prize at the Toronto Bach Competition. Today, as a professor at the University of Music in Lübeck and as a juror at international competitions, she comes into contact with Bach's music again and again, which is full of joie de vivre, but also full of sorrow and sadness, though always paired with comfort and hope.

"Konstanze Eickhorst’s new recording therefore ranks highly among Bach performances. Her programme is imaginatively conceived, and while all the performances are distinguished, that of the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue is worth the price of the disc on its own."

Classical Music Sentinel
"Everything is marked by highly clear and yet pliable articulation which breathes life into the music. A rejuvenating outlook on Bach's music and a pleasure to hear."

"... in meisterhafter Manier ... Pianistisch perfekt ist sie außerdem."
Rezension im Magazin Fono Forum von Ingo Harden, Juli 2020
Klassik Heute
"Dass Bach ihr „täglich Brot“ sei, wie sie im Booklet schreibt, ist zu hören: Konstanze Eickhorst spielt Bach, als sei es ihre eine Selbstverständlichkeit, schnörkellos, ohne Manierismen, aber mit liebevoller Hingabe, großer Ernsthaftigkeit und bewusster Klarheit. In den besten Momenten wirkt ihr Bach-Spiel wie gültig, ja end-gültig."
Besprechung auf Klassik-heute.de von Rainer W. Janka, 01.04.2020
Pizzicato
"Her feeling for timbres and poetry, as well as her art of revealing contrapuntal developments, are impressive."

Opusklassiek
„Al met al fraai gerealiseerd en bovendien uitstekend opgenomen!“
