Eleonor Bindman; Susan Sobolewski - Johann Sebastian Bach: Orchestral Suites Nos. 1-4 (Transcribed for piano duet by Eleonor Bindman)

Eleonor Bindman�s new arrangement of BACH�s Orchestral Suites for piano duet follows her widely admired recording of the six Brandenburg Concertos (GP777-78). Once again, the transcription reimagines Bach�s writing using the modern piano, in this case a B�sendorfer. Bindman and her Duo Vivace partner, Susan Sobolewski, draw upon the suite�s dance movements to suggest how Bach might have distributed the material, ordering them for maximum contrast, and succeeding in conveying the music�s vitality and beauty in a new medium.
