This review is from: English Suites 1-6 Bmv 806-811 (Audio CD)

For a several months I was looking for some excellent piano version of complet Bach's English Suites.
I very appreciate G.Gould's interpretation of Goldberg Variations and French Suites but I found his English Suites too over-played.
I know A.Schiff version very well, and this dry and sometimes very uninvolved recording.
I also tried M. Perahia recording and even played warmer than the Schiff's one I didn't find it very interesting.
So, looking for something else (but never listened to R.Levin vesion) I just bought this recording without any expectation.
But what a surprise! This recording played by young (b.1977) Italian pianist is very interesting. A.Piricone didn't try to depend on "authenitic interpretations", so popular today, and created intelligend and warm interpretation I really enjoy to listen to. I`m not a Bach specialist so I can`t identify if there is something good or bad in for example Suite 3, part 2, bar 28... :-) so my evaluation is based on my feelings and expectations.
Well this is a very good DDD studio recording from 2002. Highly recomended!
