Bach - English Suites Nos 1,3 & 5 - Anderszewski


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A first-class recording



Just to add my voice to the chorus of praise for this excellent recording.  Anderszewski brings a slightly more modern feel to these Suites than some, but manages to do that without ever losing Bach's sense of dance, nor does he swamp Bach with a lot of over-fancy Romantic phrasing and other tricks.  These are full, rich and respectful interpretations by a master pianist, which are beautifully recorded and extremely rewarding all round.

I have dearly loved piano recordings of the English Suites by Murray Perahia and Angela Hewitt; Anderszewski's interpretation sits alongside them in my affections.  This is a first class recording which I can recommend very warmly indeed.
