5 out of 5 stars Slower Tempos & Rubato Provide Contemplative Versions.......2000-03-22

It's probably heresy, but I found Rubsam's slower, meditative renditions of the partitas more absorbing and eloquent than the great Angela Hewitt's middle-of-the-road approach.

Rubsam, who is also an organist, is very free with his interpretations (i.e., there's plenty of rubato for everyone), but I never felt he fell into self-absorption or artless excess. On the contrary, Rubsam's careful approach was able to bring forth a contemplative spiritual quality rarely heard.

This is Bach for those of us who cringe at the motorific metronomic march found in so many performances. Perhaps it's not "authentic", but it's certainly relevant and worthy. At this price, why not take a chance?
