Editorial Reviews

Gramophone

"plenty of passion...a vocal expressiveness absolutely perfect for this music."

Product Description

Recorded and edited in Analog, this is a remarkable first disc by an extraordinary artist. This recording proves the harp to be an ideal instrument for conveying the contrapuntal transparency and elegant lilt which are central to the dance movements of these works.

The movements of Bach's suites and partitas are all based on various dance forms from across Europe, some at least a century old in Bach's day. Bach remained faithful to the essence of these forms--the lively and jumping Courante, the stately and processional Sarabande--while reinventing them to create some of his most imaginative music

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Harping on Bach (Audio CD)

I saw this CD at the library, and noticed it had the Partita No 1 on it! I played those on the piano, so I was excited to listen to this CD. It's very interesting. BUT please don't buy it 'cause I want it for Xmas! There is only 1 copy left!!! ;-)
