Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Bach Recital
Partita No. 4 in D major, BWV 828
Glenn Gould – piano
ONE-SENTENCE REVIEW:
Named the “Italian” concerto because it was composed in “the Italian style,” this is a great disc of Bach keyboard “hits” and is definitely worth a listen (or two or three).
ORIGINAL LINER NOTES:
This is a CBS Masterworks discounted disc from the late 1980s, so there are no Liner Notes (lucky you). But if you really really really want to read some liner notes – check out these from the Goldberg Variations – or these awesome ones from C.P.E. Bach’s Trio Sonatas.
TRACK LISTING:
- 1-7: Partita No. 4 in D major, BWV 828
- 8-10: Concerto in F major, BWV 971

FINAL THOUGHT:
Easiest review ever! Great music, great performance – ’nuff said.
