This release is the first ever collection of Murray Perahia's
Complete Bach Recoridngs for Sony Classical. The eight
original albums were recorded from 1997 to 2009.
Included are the famous Goldberg Variations
(Gramophone Award) and English Suites 1, 3 & 6 (Grammy®
Award), as well as the complete Partitas and solo keyboard
concertos.
Murray Perahia's absorption in recent years with the music
of Johann Sebastian Bach has resulted in a series of highly
acclaimed recordings of the Partitas ('beauty and strength
merge as one' Gramophone), the English Suites (Grammy®
Award for Nos. 1, 3 and 6), the Keyboard Concertos
('intelligence, sensitivity and drama tempered by humility'
Gramophone) and the Goldberg Variations ('a version that
isn't just colourful, or virtuosic, or thorough in terms of
repeats, but profoundly moving as well' Gramophone) that
set new standards in Bach pianism. This collection brings
together all of Perahia's Bach recordings for Sony Classical
a fascinating testimony to all the artistry and dedication
that the pianist brings to the composer.
