J.S. Bach - The Klavierübung, Part I
LabelRoméo Records
Year2005
Sheppard’s recording of Bach’s six keyboard Partitas, the first part of the Clavier-Übung, explores one of the composer’s most sophisticated collections of dance suites. Combining contrapuntal clarity with a modern piano’s range of color and dynamics, the performances move from the intimacy of the individual dances to the larger architectural sweep of each partita.
