Bach: Partitas for Harpsichord

Tilney, Colin

MA-1301

Colin Tilney is internationally known for his harpsichord, clavichord and fortepiano playing, with many solo recordings on DG (Archive), EMI Electrola, Decca, Hyperion, Dorian, Doremi and CBC SM 5000. Originally working in London as an accompanist and repetiteur, in 1979 he moved to Canada, first to Toronto, where he taught at the Royal Conservatory of Music and founded the chamber group Les Coucous Bénévoles; more recently (2002) to Victoria where he is on the staff of the Music School at the University of Victoria. J.S. Bach: Partitas for Harpsichord is his eighth recording for Music & Arts.

“Tilney’s playing is so controlled, so spacious, and the instrument allows him to take his time with everything. It’s a hypnotic disc, actually, because you become drawn into this apparently austere sound and apparently austere music and suddenly find yourself transported to a new plane. It’s quite terrific!”

— Anthony Noble, BBC Radio 3, Sept. 24, 2009 (review of Music & Arts CD-1226 FUGUE: BACH AND HIS FORERUNNERS.)
