Fresh vitality and a sense of adventure. Noted for his idiosyncratic and probing performances, British keyboard player and conductor Richard Egarr continues his Bach cycle with these captivating readings of the complete French Suites, BWV812-817. "High octane, muscular, a rush of blood to the head ... Moments of calm between the storm ... were suddenly stark, raw and searching. ... I was gripped by the energy of it all, by the urgency of the ornamentation, by the aching crunches in the Allemandes." (HERALD SCOTLAND, concert review)

Fraîcheur, vitalité et esprit d'aventure. Célèbre pour la singularité et la profondeur de ses interprétations, le claviériste et chef d'orchestre britannique Richard Egarr poursuit son cycle Bach et offre une fascinante relecture de l'intégrale des Suites françaises, BWV812-817. "Intense, puissant, étourdissant ... Au milieu des tempêtes, la soudaine et sauvage gravité des moments d'accalmie devient pénétrante. J'ai été emporté par l'énergie ambiante, l'ardeur pressante de l'ornementation, la sensibilité poignante des Allemandes." (HERALD SCOTLAND, compte-rendu de concert)

Erfrischende Lebendigkeit und Wagemut. Der englische Cembalist und Dirigent Richard Egarr, der bekannt ist für seine eigenwilligen und triefschürfenden Interpretationen, setzt seinen Bach-Zyklus mit dieser hinreißenden Gesamteinspielung der Französischen Suiten BWV 812-817 fort. "Superenergetisch, kraftvoll, impulsiv ... Momente der Stille inmitten des Sturms ... waren plötzlich leer, unwirtlich und durchdringend ... ich war gefesselt von der all dem innewohnenden Kraft, von der Eindringlichkeit der Ornamentik, von den schmerzhaften Tempoverzögerungen in den Allemandes." (HERALD SCOTLAND, Konzertkritik)
