This project is the culmination of years of meticulous preparation and an intimate relationship with the music. Zhu Xiao-Mei's approach is characterised by a profound connection to each piece, allowing her to bring out the subtleties and nuances that make Bach's work so timeless. Her dedication to living with the music day-by-day ensures a performance that is both authentic and deeply resonant.
The English Suites, with their blend of lively orchestral and delicate intimate moments, have a special place in Zhu Xiao-Mei's heart. She describes them as “a music of intimacy,” making this recording particularly unique.
