Album Description
Bach's English Suites are the earliest of his "6-packs", which include the French Suites and the Partitas. They are based on the amalgamation of French and Italian styles, and their level of virtuosity is beyond any that came before. Parmentier plays a harpsichord made in Paris in 1785 by Jacques Germain, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved in existence. It is housed at America's Shrine to Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota, which has one of the largest and most important collections of musical instruments in the western hemisphere.
