By entitling his recital of Krebs’s regrettably underplayed keyboard music The Best Crayfish in the Brook, Gerald Gifford recalls the alleged word-play of Krebs’s teacher, JSBach: ‘Das ist der einzige Krebs in meinem Bach’. Gifford’s rationale for his programme is outlined in the notes, and reminds us of Krebs’s clear alignment with the ethos of the ‘post-Bach’ generation – the generation in tune with the so-called ‘sensitive style’. Andrew McCrea
