Sonia Rubinsky - Johann Sebastian Bach: Magna Sequentia II

Sonia Rubinsky�s Magna Sequentia I (8.574026) was constructed around a Partita from Bach�s Clavier-�bung I but this second volume focuses on the French Overture from Clavier-�bung II. Each of the 17 movements has been selected to illustrate the different styles and expressive moods of Bach�s dance writing. This unique sequence showcases three specific national styles: the ornate and sophisticated French school, virtuosic Italian writing, and the stricter fugal writing of the German style. Contemporary insights abound in Rubinsky�s historically informed playing.
