Bach inspirations

"Editor's choice: In his flowing, pellucid interpretations Garcia himself seems to be inspired by Bach's name, and throughout much of the programme there's a compelling tension between the rippling enunciation of lighter paragraphs and the precipitous propulsion of more dramatic passages. This is most obvious in Garcia's thrilling, magisterial performance of Bach's D minor Chaconne ... An expressive, sweet-toned Elsa Dreisig joins Garcia for the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria and the aria from Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras No 5 ... Clear, relaxed and full of feeling".
