Johann Sebastian Bach: The Six Partitas

'Brilliant, well-sounding, expressive and always new' was the verdict of Bach's first biographer on the six Partitas, a description which applies equally to Angela Hewitt's wonderful new recording of what Bach designated his 'Opus 1'. Angela describes a lifetime of living with Bach's music as 'a great gift and a lifelong adventure'; an

adventure in which we are fortunate to have such an authoritative companion and guide.
