Bach: Partitas 2, 3, 4 / Tiberghien
) | Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: 314902018690 Format: CD Cédric Tiberghien (piano)Bach, J S: Partita No. 2 in C minor, BWV826 Partita No. 3 in A minor, BWV827 Partita No. 4 in D major, BWV828 "Tiberghien doesn't attempt to imitate a harpsichord and, apart from a few spread chords, doesn't add embellishments. Again he might be thought of as not adhering to Baroque performing practices. But, with the exception of the Rondeaux in No 2 and No 3's Fantasia, he does observe repeats, though he prefers to vary them through articulation and dynamics rather than decoration. He uses the piano mostly wisely, to offer interpretations of Bach that stretch the expressive envelope, particularly so in deeply felt allemandes and sarabandes. Tiberghien may not please everybody; but his emotional involvement with the music is so high, it is a pleasure to recommend this disc.”  Price: $13.98 |
