Jayson Gillham - Romantic Bach: From Intimate to Epic (2018)

Romantic Bach – from intimate to epic on the modern piano. A selection of Bach originals and transcriptions from organ, violin and cantata.

Born and brought up in rural Queensland, Gillham travelled for hours to piano lessons in Brisbane, before shooting to fame in a number of prestigious international competitions. Major concert appearances in London and the US followed, as did a three-album deal with ABC Classics. His debut record featuring solo works by Bach, Schubert and Chopin, reached number one in the ARIA Charts on release; soon afterwards Vladimir Ashkenazy, conducting the Sydney Symphony, chose to make his first-ever recording of a Beethoven concerto with Gillham at the keyboard.
