J.S. Bach: The Six Partitas, BWV 825–830 – Ketil Haugsand

An outstanding Bach recording

A major prize winner in both the 1979 and 1980 international harpsichord competitions at Paris and Bruges, Ketil Haugsand has specialised in French and German repertoire and has toured extensively throughout Europe and the USA as a recitalist, harpsichord soloist and conductor. Listening to recording of Bach´s “Six Partitas” it should come as no surprise why this marvellous musician has risen to the top in the world´s musical arena. Consisting of over two hours of music on 2 CDs, Haugsand works his way through all six partitas in a way never before heard. Being essentially dance suites in binary form these works are among Bach´s most favourable outputs in all their brilliant, well-sounding, expressive excellence.
