Bach: English Suite No.2 in A Minor - 1. Prelude (BWV 807). Ivo Pogorelich, Piano

Here we have a sensational performance of one of Bach's contrapuntal tours de force by a young Ivo Pogorelich.

J. S . Bach's English Suites, BWV 806–811, are a set of six suites for harpsichord (or clavichord) and generally thought to be the earliest of his 19 suites for keyboard (discounting several less well-known earlier suites), the others being the six French Suites (BWV 812–817), the six Partitas (BWV 825-830) and the Overture in the French style (BWV 831). They probably date from around 1713 or 1714.
