Martha Argerich - Bach Toccata BWV 911 - Partita BWV 826 - Englische Suite No.2 BWV 807
I scored this lovely little LP at the East Van record swap for 1 buck. It features a trio of Bach works selected from several disparate programs from throughout his ouevre, performed by Argentinean superstar pianist Martha Argerich. I don’t know how much more I can write about this record however, to be honest, because I am exhausted from having to laboriously type out the opus numbers of the works for this post.
Seriously it was like transcribing a bunch of postal codes and license plate numbers. Is it necessary to always cite the opus number? Couldn’t these geniuses think of snappier titles than Sonata Number 13 in E-flat Major? Tthat one’s by Beethoven but you catch my drift.
I’m being facetious, but as a person with severe innumeracy I am finding the titling/cataloging practices of classical music to be daunting.
Anyways, the record sounds NICE.
