This is the latest recording by Andrew Rangel, a renowned American pianist with an established reputation for his performances of Beethoven and J.S. Bach. In his previous recording, “J.S. Bach: Piano Works” (STNS-30111), Rangel performed Bach’s masterpieces that are familiar to everyone, and in this recording, he tackles the entire “English Suite,” also known as Bach’s “technical masterpiece. The “English Suite” was written at the beginning of Bach’s various suites, and although the origin of the name is not known, it is an ambitious work consisting of six dances, each with a huge prelude. It is known as a masterpiece that many keyboard players tackle. Rangel’s precise articulation and free improvisation make for a unique and deeply enjoyable performance.Naxos Japan
