Alexandra Papastefanou - J.s. Bach The English Suites [CD]

Bach's English Suites are a set of six keyboard suites, each featuring a prelude and a series of stylised dance movements. While named 'English', the suites are more closely related to the French Baroque style, featuring intricate counterpoint, technically demanding passages, and a grander scale compared to Bach's French Suites.

Papastefanou's Baroque style and technique is first-class in her brand new recording of these technically high demanding Suites. A natural Bach player who plays with panache, high skill, individuality with an attractive style and touch, Papastefanou's has produced another high quality recording of Bach, in this her 6th album for FHR.

'Papastefanou's Goldbergs radiate qualities of sheer joy and innate musicality that are better experienced than described. A captivating album.(Gramophone)

'Papastefanou is thoroughly musical in her fusion of intuition and insight, and her 'French Suites' easily ranks among the catalogue's finest piano editions. (Classics Today)
