J.s. Bach: Six Partitas / Ashkenazy

Vladimir Ashkenazy: piano

J.S. Bach: Partitas Nos. 1-6, BWV825-830

Gramophone Editor's Choice - September 2010
Since Vladimir Ashkenazy’s debut with Decca in 1963, with more than 200 albums as pianist or conductor, he has never recorded the Six Partitas. The ‘master musician’ (Sydney Morning Herald) infuses a lifetime of pianistic and philosophical discernment into the Six Partitas of Bach. This album will become an obligatory purchase for Bach and Ashkenazy fans: a summit-meeting of masters.
Bach's music seems to have lit a youthful spark under Vladimir Ashkenazy's 70-something fingers, and in fact there's nothing remotely arthritic about these joyful, invigorating and technically impressive Partita interpretations...Ashkenazy's innate musicality, impeccable taste and obvious love for these works permeate every bar.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2010
