Though published as Bach's Opus 1, the Partitas were composed as Bach was approaching 40 and working in Leipzig. Their varied and changeable movement styles differentiate them considerably from the structure of works such as the French and English Suites, which are otherwise like sets of dance movements. Judith Lambden is a well established Australian pianist with a long-established reputation as an interpreter of Bach. In this, her first CD for Divine Art, she gives US all a chance to re-evaluate splendid works which (in terms of Bach's output) are relatively little known. At almost 80 minutes on each CD, a true high-value set at les than mid-price.
