Information: Craig Sheppard's Bach
is finally getting its due. Here is the second installment. Craig
Sheppard's previous Bach release on Romeo Records-Partitas, (7248-9) received
widespread critical acclaim: "There are too many delightful details to savor.
Sheppard's Partitas leave a fresh imprint upon each rehearing, and they deserve
serious consideration . . . ." classicstoday .com (Rating: 10/8) "Sheppard's
Bach, like his Beethoven, is revelatory . . . a lyrial impulse that borders on
the ecstatic. Sheppard's partitas belong in every serious collection for what
they reveal to us about Bach and the music." Fanfare " . . . his shining
courage and conviction, however provocative, command your attention at virtually
every point." " . . . infinite variety is conveyed by Craig Sheppard in performances
brimming with zest and affection." Gramophone "Bach playing of notable
artistry." International Record Review |
