...The happy mix of smaller and substantial works contributes to displaying that musical universe of C.P.E. Bach’s, which ranges from Scarlatti-like fantasies to proto-Beethovenian sonatas, in all its kaleidoscopic wealth of color. Lubimov’s powerful, juicy playing brings to the instrument and the composer exactly what this music needs in order to take that step from “interesting” to “fascinating”. Without this individualistic, emotional and original treatment, the music might never be truly discovered. Why this album, recorded in 2008, is appearing only now, three years after the C.P.E. Bach anniversary in 2014, will remain ECM’s secret....
