Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pure Joy
Over the past decade or so, Murray Perahia has developed into one of the finest Bach pianists around. Perhaps one needs to suffer to appreciate Bach fully--surely this great pianist has had his share of suffering due to the debilitating hand injury which has kept him from the concert hall and recording studios in recent years. In any case, just as his English Suites, Keyboard Concerti, and Goldberg Variations set new standards in this repertoire, this recently released disc of Partitas 2, 3 and ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Played With Striking Keyboard Style, Energy, And Abundant Invention!
The six partitas BWV 825-830, the third and last collection of suites, are certainly Bach's most mature achievement in this sphere. The opening movements on their own are sufficient to demonstrate Bach's fertile imagination.
Murray Perahia has chosen to perform the second, third and forth partitas, and his approach conveys a stylistic maturity, structural energy, abundant invention, and a strikingly auspicious style that is almost unequalled in accomplishment. He retains the traditional framework ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - superb!
I have yet to hear any of Murray Perahia's playing, whether live or recorded, which was anything less than superbly musical. His profound musicality is always what one hears, no matter the technical demands of a piece. His technique, though astonishing, is there to serve the music, not wow the listener. This cd is filled with illuminating insights and many, many moments of incredible beauty.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Too polite, as usual
Perahia's Bach playing is always elegant and refined, but too polite and softhearted to my taste. Perfect for Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte, but not for Bach's partitas. Also on this CD, Perahia's playing lacks the necessary vigor and spirit; it's all a bit boring and predictable. If Perhaia had some of the passion and spirit of Martha Argerich... (listen to her interpretation of the 2nd partita, and you'll know what I mean: vigorous and joyful playing that keeps you on the edge of your seat). For imaginative, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exactly what you'd expect from Perhaia
In my opinion, nowhere in the entire output of Johann Sebastian Bach does this very, very great composer display his mastery over counterpoint and harmony better than in the mighty six keyboard partitas. Here is keyboard composition of such stature that only the great late keyboard sonatas of Beethoven are their peer. Working from a group of French dances popular in the era, J.S. developed a half-dozen of the world's most fully realized and fulfilling keyboard exhibitions, complete with virtuosity, magnificent voicing ...
