Suites françaises by J.S. Bach

Cédric Pescia presents his new recording of Bach’s French Suites, marking its Geneva launch with a recital. These six suites, composed during Bach’s Köthen period, follow the traditional French suite structure—blending elegance with contrapuntal richness.

Rooted in the dance traditions of the Renaissance and shaped by French influence, the French Suites reveal Bach’s mastery in transforming simple forms into profound musical statements. A key work for solo keyboard, and a cycle Pescia explores with depth and finesse.
