Partita No. 4 in D major BWV 828
Andreas Staier harpsichord
French culture and lifestyle once conquered Europe in a dancing step. Fischer and Muffat were the first to bring a touch of Versailles to German lands, with dance suites à la française. As eminent keyboard artists, they must have been tempted to exploit the enormous musical potential that lay dormant in these dances. They were following the example of the French clavecinists, under whose hands the dances were transformed into poetic character pieces and refined miniatures. Master harpsichordist Andreas Staier combines the unfolding of splendor with sensitive and expressive artistry and structural clarity. He offers two of the greatest passacaglias for keyboard and comes to a crowning conclusion in Bach's »most French« partita.
