English Suites

English Suites

More than 10 years since the release of his first recording of Bach's English Suites, these interpretations of Suites 1, 3 and 5 join the Warner Classics catalogue. Anderszewski's concert performances of Bach in 2013 prompted the New York Times to write: "He revels in the full range of timbres afforded by the modern piano", while The Guardian cited "some of the most sublime piano playing London has witnessed all season". With this recording, Piotr Anderszewski returns to Bach's English Suites after more than 10 years. In 2002, when Virgin Classics (now Warner Classics/Erato) released his interpretations of Partitas 1, 3 and 6, The Sunday Times spoke of "Bach playing of the highest order, " enthusing that "His playing throughout is wonderful, laying out Bach's contrapuntal writing with a clarity and subtlety of touch that removes these works far from the realms of technical exercises. His fingers dance in the Courante's and Allemandes, and positively sing the melodies of the sublime Sarabandes."
