Bach’s music seems to have lit a youthful spark under Vladimir Ashkenazy’s 70-something fingers, and in fact there’s nothing remotely arthritic about these joyful, invigorating and technically impressive Partita interpretations…Ashkenazy’s innate musicality, impeccable taste and obvious love for these works permeate every bar.
