Pianist Francesco Tristano releases his fourth album of Bach on the Naïve label with the complete set of Six French Suites, BWV 812–817. The album continues Tristano’s quest to record the composer’s complete catalogue of works for piano. Composed between 1722 and 1725, after the expansion of forms at work in the Six English Suites, the French Suites are built around a sequence of dance movements. The works unfold with clarity, balance and a natural sense of flow. In this recording, Tristano focuses on continuity and contrast, shaping each suite as a complete musical arc while bringing out the expressive depth and melodic quality of the music.
