Bach: French Suites / Frantz

JS Bach: French Suites Nos. 1-6 Bach, J S: French Suites Nos. 1-6, BWV812-817 Suite in A minor, BWV818a Suite in E flat major, BWV819a Caspar Frantz (piano)

The “French Suites” were devised as a technically less challenging preliminary level in learning the organ, situated between the studies of “Inventions and Sinfonias” and the “English Suites”, the so called ‘large’ suites, and “Partitas”. Bach’s composing a remarkable number of pieces with a didictic purpose for the piano can be considered as an attempt to further his reputation as a teacher. Caspar Frantz combines his recording of the French Suites with two less known suites which demonstrate, that discoveries are still possible even in such a well-known ouevre like Bach’s.
