BACH: FIVE HARPSICHORD SUITES. Robert Hill, harpsichord.

Description “All five suites are real gems, and Hill plays them with panache, lively articulation, and poetic expressiveness.” Robert Haskins in American Record Guide “Hill is a fine player who tastefully explores this unknown region of Bach’s harpsichord works. A very enjoyable disc.” Allan Evans in Fanfare “Like Leonhardt, Hill has both the fingers and scholarship to produce rich results. Aside from that, he obviously relishes these pieces, lavishing them with human sparkle as well as accuracy. Sonics are superb – close in and very lively. Recommended, a refreshing feast of Bach worth knowing as well as enjoying.” Heuwell Tircuit in In Tune FIVE HARPSICHORD SUITES: Suites – in E flat Major BWV 819a; in F Minor BWV 823; in A Minor BWV 818a; in C Minor BWV 997; in A Major BWV 832.
