EMI Classics, 2006 not necessarily for purists + I'm not a musicologist, but this is my favorite Bach + Gavrilov plays J.S. Bach with more human warmth than many others When one thinks of Bach on the modern keyboard Andrei Gavrilov's name is not necessarily the first that comes to mind, yet this 1984 recording of the French Suites is as varied & exciting as they come. Gavrilov, who is an outstanding technician, probably drives Bach purists crazy with his bravura ...             Bach: St. Matthew Passion4 reviews Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Raymond Clark, ... EMI Classics, 2001 A Sublime Acquired Taste + Authentic on its own terms There's nothing at all humble me can say to the connoisseur about this composition that's not a repetition of a repetition. To the newcomer, though, some words of advice: This is rightly considered one of, if not the best, of Bach's works. To the total newbie, Bach is rightly considered not one, ...             J.S.

He has more rubato than a straightforward approach (in a nice mix of Romanticism and 18th-century performance practice). But he ...             Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier29 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach RCA Victor Europe, 1992 Some Bach for my desert island + Great encounter-Richter and Bach + One of the finest sets available + The very best performance of WTC             Bach: The Art of Fugue; Musical Offering16 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Munchinger, ...

Hanssler Classics, 1999 Two completely different masterpieces believe that Bach's complete cantatas beyond just the most famous ones belong in the collections of anyone who loves classical music.

Hanssler Classics, 2000 Wonderful performances on modern instruments The complete cantatas of Bach beyond the most famous ones belong in everyone's collection. I have begun to sample the Rilling cantatas beginning with the first BWV numbers and have been astonihed by how differently they all sound and how perfectly music captures the meaning of the words.

The same holds true here. Rubsam's emotional palette, combined with remarkable concentration and ...             Bach: English Suites Nos. 1-32 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Rubsam Naxos, 1996 BACH'S "ENGLISH SUITES" FINALLY MADE "HUMAN"! Bach's six English Suites have always, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor, played second fiddle to his more popular French Suites, also a set of six, the former appearing seemingly dour and academic, while the latter were upbeat and ebullient. Well, with an exponent like Rubsam at the ...             Bach: The Art of Fugue28 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Emerson String Quartet UMVD Labels, 2003 When it's good...

Hyperion UK, 1996 What a splendid CD this is + A delightful recording There are a number of recordings that take Bach's set of trio Sonatas for Organ (BWV 525- 530) and transcribe them for other instruments. Bach often did that himself, and with a variety of instrumental combinations. The structure of the pieces lend themselves well to multi-instrument groups; they ...             Bach: Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin26 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Arthur Grumiaux Philips, 1994 Grumiaux and Bach + The performance are simply the best available! + Bach Sonatas and Partitias for Solo Violin + Beautiful!             Bach: Complete Partitas3 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Bernard Roberts Nimbus Records, 2001 a Penguin guide rosette... for good reasons! + little-known but absolutely compelling Roberts has long been considered one of Britain's finest pianists.
