This is Christopher Hogwood's 1983 recording of 8 keyboard suites by JS Bach written in the French manner.In addition to the 6 well known suites,Hogwood also chose to record BWV 818 and 819 which are sometimes found coupled with the 6 "main suites" (BWV 812-817) in surviving manuscript sources.Quite simply there is no better or more authentically performed account of these works to date despite some of the other negative reviews found here.Christopher Hogwood performs superbly well throughout and great care is taken to find the right natural tempo for the various dance movements upon which the suites are based.Some other performers for example take the famous gigue of suite no 5 at such a galloping pace that the piece loses it's direct appeal as a DANCE movement whereas Hogwood play's it buoyant but not frantic so that it actually makes sense.
The 2 harpsichords used for this recording are both antiques - a Ruckers and a Goujon both from the Musee de la Musique in Paris where the recording was made and for me the only slight drawback here is that they are recorded a little too close hence why i have dropped 1 star.
In my view Christopher Hogwood's set remains the finest account of Bach's French Suites on harpsichord closely followed by Kenneth Gilbert and Gustav Leonhardt.Altogether this is a fitting document to the musicianship and scholarship of a period instrument stalward.
