Pianist Evgeni Koroliov presents the second part of the Bach Partitas and seamlessly continues the level of the first recording. Back then, my colleague Alain Steffen spoke of an intimist Bach, and this is confirmed here. Koroliov’s Bach is a Bach of quiet tones that give the music something timeless and non-representational. It is actually pure magic that is heard here, a tranquil balm of touching beauty. Koroliov’s playing is, how could it be otherwise, technically perfect, his tempi optimally chosen and his colorful sound of captivating purity. The recording is wonderfully natural and thus suits the pianist’s playing one hundred percent.
