Description:

Beautiful, gentle, and dignified--full of dense energy, the French Suite is one of Bach's most popular keyboard suites, written in a particularly Gallant style and familiar for its elegance and refinement. This is the first recording of the complete work by Medjieva, who has been focusing on Bach in recent years. The skill with which she creates a diverse and rich sound world while clearly delineating the character of each dance is so great that it should be called "the skill of a master. This is a masterpiece that opens a new page in the history of Bach performance on the piano. (Instrument used: 1922 New York Steinway)
