Free Music Review: Perahia's remarkable Bach
Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a Murray Perahia enthusiast for many, many years, I was quite pleased when he began recording the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1990s. This release of the English Suites Nos. 2,4 and 5 is at the top of my list of favorite Perahia Bach cds. These are graceful, artistic performances that mark the pianist as a JSB interpreter of the highest order. While displaying an abundance of impeccable technique, there is also a depth of feeling conveyed that reminds me of some of his finest Mozart recordings; there is a very definite connection with the music going on here. Listeners are also treated to a wonderfully pristine digital sound from Perahia's label, Sony Classical.
Given the level of artistry Murray Perahia has achieved in his nearly four decade career, it is no wonder that he should be considered one of the finest Bach pianists of his generation. The proof is in the hearing. Give yourself a chance to hear this splendid cd at your very earliest convenience. You will not be disappointed!
Bach: English Suites Nos. 2, 4 & 5 / Perahia Poster
The present release completes Murray Perahia's survey of Bach's six English Suites. Pianistically speaking, there's much to admire: the unruffled sonority, pinpointed technique, and an ability to spin luminous textures through fingerwork and hand balances alone, eschewing the sustain pedal. Perahia's fluent left hand may not match the rhythmic resilience of Glenn Gould's, nor do his ornaments sing out with the improvisatory confidence Andr?s Schiff brings to his equally colorful, but more measured, readings. By the same token, Perahia's perfectly judged tempos honor the music's dance origins. Yet there's a studied, self-conscious quality to the pianist's choices regarding color and articulation, brought on by his frequent telegraphing of a textural shift via slight ritards or little holdbacks at cadential points. After a while, one can predict these before they occur. Still, only a genuine master can play this well. One hopes Perahia's preoccupation with Bach is not a temporary fancy. --Jed DistlerClassical Music CDs
