Description:

Pianist Abdel-Rahman El-Basha, who is attracting attention as a virtuoso performer in Japan, has made a long-awaited new recording of Bach." This album, the follow-up to "The Mean Clavier Works, Volumes 1 and 2," which received rave reviews from various specialist magazines as "the Bach of our time," focuses on the theme of "Suites," and was session-recorded on a Bechstein piano, as in previous albums. El-Basha's music spins out a rich variety of sounds, from deep, profound chords to rhythmic, lighthearted tunes, and his beautiful pianism overflowing with charm is captivating. Please listen to the mature and supreme art of Abdel-Rahman El-Basha, who has gained even more depth as he enters his 60th year of life.
