| | Description: | Murray Perahia Plays Bach - The Complete Recordings by Murray Perahia, released 6 October 2016.
This version of Murray Perahia Plays Bach - The Complete Recordings comes as a 8xCD. - .. COMPLETE RECORDINGSThis release is the first ever collection of Murray Perahia's Complete Bach Recoridngs for Sony Classical. The eight original albums were recorded from 1997 to 2009. The release includes the famous Goldberg Variations (Gramophone Award) and English Suites 1, 3 & 6 (Grammy® Award), as well as the complete Partitas and solo keyboard concertos. Murray Perahia's absorption in recent years with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach has resulted in a series of highly acclaimed recordings of the Partitas ("beauty and strength merge as one"-Gramophone), the English Suites (Grammy® Award for Nos. 1, 3 and 6), the Keyboard Concertos ("intelligence, sensitivity and drama tempered by humility"- Gramophone) and the Goldberg Variations ("a version that isn't just colourful, or virtuosic, or thorough in terms of repeats, but profoundly moving as well"-Gramophone) that set new standards in Bach pianism. This collection brings together all of Perahia's Bach recordings for Sony Classical - a fascinating testimony to all the artistry and dedication that the pianist brings to the composer.CD 1

(P) 2009 Sony Musi"Murray Perahia plays Bach - The Complete Recording" on CD brings together Murray Perahia's celebrated Bach interpretations for piano and orchestra, recorded with the renowned Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Across this complete collection, Perahia reveals the architectural clarity, rhythmic vitality and spiritual depth of Bach's music, combining crystalline articulation with a singing tone and a finely shaded dynamic range. The close artistic partnership with the Academy results in performances that feel chamber-like in their intimacy yet symphonic in their breadth, with transparent orchestral textures that allow every contrapuntal line to breathe. This edition is ideal for both Bach enthusiasts and listeners discovering these works for the first time, providing a coherent overview of Perahia's Bach legacy on disc and a reference point for modern Bach interpretation on the piano.
Murray Perahia is widely regarded as one of the leading pianists of his generation, admired for his intellectual rigor, poetic sensitivity and flawless craftsmanship. Over several decades, he has built a distinguished discography, particularly in the works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, and has been honored with multiple major awards and international prizes for his recordings. His Bach projects, in particular, are often cited as benchmarks for their balance of scholarly insight and emotional immediacy, making this complete Bach set a key document of his artistic career.
The Academy of St Martin in the Fields, one of the world's most respected chamber orchestras, complements Perahia with its trademark precision, warmth of sound and stylistic finesse, ensuring that these performances remain fresh and engaging even after repeated listening.
