	  JS BACH  
	  Partitas  
	    piano, Risto Lauriala  
	    Alba ABCD 101:1-2
	   [CD1: 73:26 - CD2: 72:59]

	  This two CD set of the Bach six keyboard partitas was recorded at Tampere
	  Hall, Finland in August 1992, Risto Lauriala playing a Steinway grand piano.
	  The notes are just a straight-forward introduction to the music, the CDs,
	  unusually today packaged in a proper double case. The music-making is highly
	  accomplished and attractively captures Bach's great humanity and feeling
	  in this music which represents some of the composer's lighter side. The discs
	  are a sheer delight to listen to, proving that early music authenticity isn't
	  always essential for a first rate release.
