Bach: English Suite #5 in E minor, BWV 810 (21:42)
Richard Egarr, harpsichord
Richard Egarr on the English Suites: “As a player, I find personally the most pleasure in the earlier keyboard collections. The Toccatas, Well-Tempered Clavier Book I and the so-called English Suites seem to delight in purely physical keyboard pleasure and imagination that is often absent from the later works. This is a true cycle of pieces – one of Bach’s first and certainly one of his best.”
