Description

French harpsichordist Céline Frisch has an extensive discography, including numerous award-winning recordings dedicated to Bach. Now she presents the Partitas, that famous and extensive collection of six suites that Bach composed starting in 1726—at the rate of one new partita per year—and published as his Opus 1: As Céline Frisch emphasizes, “Bach explores the possibilities of each dance in order to expand its boundaries. In doing so, he employs an intense palette of expression, ranging from the most disarming tenderness to the most poignant despair and even unbridled joy.”
