Author: Jed Distler
Feltsman’s imaginative and creative ornaments and embellishments consistently delight and surprise. Notice, for example, the uncommon sense of musing and introspection in the Prelude of the C minor Partita, the rhapsodic briskness of the B flat’s Sarabande or the effectively brusque rolled chords and trills in the D major’s Courante and Aria. You may not get painstaking dynamic gradations or micro-managed contouring of lines in the manner of pianists as disparate as Schiff and Tureck but you won’t find many piano versions of the Bach Partitas where joyous musicality, communicative immediacy and fervent commitment emerge to Feltsman’s consistent degree.
