  • Description

    Alongside recordings of J.S. Bach's Toccatas, the acclaimed harpsichordist Eleonore Bühler-Kestler releases this 2CD set of the same composer's Six Partitas BWV 825-830.

    The six Partitas are the last set of harpsichord suites that Bach composed and are the most technically demanding of the three. They were composed between 1725 and 1730 or 1731. In keeping with a 19th-century naming tradition that labelled Bach's first set of Suites English and the second French, the Partitas are sometimes referred to as the German Suites. In comparison with the two earlier sets of suites, the Partitas are by far the most free-ranging in terms of structure. Unlike the English Suites, for example, wherein each opens with a strict Prelude, the Partitas feature a number of different opening styles including an ornamental Overture and a Toccata.

    After a break from performing of some 17 years following the death of her husband, the harpsichordist Eleanor Bühler-Kestler returned to the studio to record of the works of J.S. Bach. Especially in her later years, Bühler-Kestler has worked tirelessly on "her" Bach, loving its complexity and the music's inner warmth, which has acted as a strong source of support throughout her life. Today she lives in Bayreuth, where until 2009 she was a lecturer in music at the university. Germany's most significant contemporary artist Gerhard Richter also loves the music of Bach and Bühler-Kestler's approach to performing his works. As a result of this Richter has provided the cover images for all of her Bach recordings.
