Bach - English Suite no. 3 in G minor BWV 808 - Hantaï | Netherlands Bach Society
Could the Sarabande of this ’English’ Suite no. 3 in G minor, performed by Pierre Hantaï for All of Bach, be funeral music; a tombeau for Bach’s first wife? She died in the period in which he wrote the ‘English’ suites. We are far removed from the dance music, suggested by the French titles. Although the Sarabande does respect the characteristic rhythm, it would be unplayable in the tempo to which it ought to be danced. Bach also adds extensive ornamentation, which reinforces the extremely expressive power of this piece.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on December 10th 2016 at the Bartolotti House, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel and consider donating
