About this album

Ignacio Prego is a leading member of the rising generation of Spanish early music specialists recording for Glossa such as Josetxu Obregón and Lina Tur Bonet. He has a busy concert schedule across Europe, the US and Asia, and is frequently to be heard performing harpsichord concertos with ensembles such as the The English Concert, collaborating with eminent musicians such as Monica Huggett and Nicholas McGegan, or giving solo harpsichord recitals, where he is able to demonstrate his special preference for the works of J.S. Bach. On his first solo CD for Glossa he had presented Bach’s Goldberg Variations, now followed on his new recording by a selection of Bach’s Partitas and English Suites. Fine photographs from Noah Shaye in the booklet round up a new inspiring Glossa title.
