Faux French
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, November 5, 2017 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Bach’s French Suites are really no more French than his other keyboard suites, but they acquired that name after his death when a biographer described them as being written in the French style. This week we’ll listen to Russian-born American pianist Sergey Schepkin’s 2014 release of these suites. This album is part of his quest to record all of Bach’s keyboard music using a modern piano.
