Editorial Reviews

Bach's big works for harpsichord (the suites, partitas, Goldberg Variations, and the two books of The Well-Tempered Clavier) are so well-known and impressive that it's easy to forget the many miscellaneous pieces that didn't make it into the bigger sets. In common with the work of many Baroque composers, Bach's larger works were often assembled from a pre-existing stock of material, which he would adapt or arrange as necessary. This highly engaging disc contains an intelligent and enjoyable collection from Bach's keyboard warehouse: there isn't anything that falls below the exalted level of the best-known keyboard collections. It also makes a great gift for the Bach lover who has everything. --David Hurwitz
