Comment:

Recorded performances of Bach’s works in the 20th century would be incomplete without the contributions of concert pianist Murray Perahia, here featured on “English Suite No.1,” one of six harpsichord suites most likely composed around 1715, and thought to represent the great man’s earliest set. Perahia began listening to Bach while recovering from a series of operations to correct a bone spur on his thumb. Other big names here include Yo-Yo Ma, performing cello suite “No. 2 in D Minor” with its breathtaking shifts of chord and string crossings, and Glenn Gould, tripping merrily through the Gigue from “French Suite No.5 in G.”
