Chorale Partita "O Gott Du Frommer Gott", BWV 767 | | Format: | Compact Disc | | Record Label: | Priory | | Catalog Number: | 753 | | Year Released/Recorded: | 2003 | | Total Playing Time: | 155:52 | | Comments: | Steven Thomas said:
The more I hear of this series, the more I find them to be a priceless store of treasures, bearing witness to one of the world's finest players, in the years of her greatest maturity. One often hears polite Bach-playing, decent Bach-playing, correct Bach-playing, but Weir reveals another level of musicianship altogether. The playing is powerful, individual, expressive and thought-through. On this disc are to be found some of the most audacious pieces ever written by Bach: the Canonic Variations on þVom Himmel hochþ, the Clavierþbung III and the Schþbler Chorales. They are matched by audacious playing that is neither old-fashioned in its approach nor overly correct. There is clarity and rhythmic drive from start to finish, through the lesser-known delights of the four Duetti to the familiar majesty of the Prelude and Fugue in E flat (the St Anne). The colours of the organ are used with imagination and taste, and only ever at the service of the music. A desert-island release, if ever there were one.þ - William Whitehead | | Acknowledgements: | Thank you to the following for submitting this recording and for your comments: | | Date First Submitted: | 02/25/2007 |
