Murray Perahia Essentials

Murray Perahia Essentials

Apple Music Classical

A reigning interpreter of Bach and Schubert, New York-born pianist Murray Perahia is a master of the tonal repertoire. He has worked with many essential composers and performers since the early ‘70s, including Britten and Haitink, and his playing maintains a refined, cosmopolitan feel—one that enters the realm of spirituality. His breezy, wistful Chopin Ballades are a miraculous achievement considering their difficulty, while his 2016 readings of Bach's French Suites give the notes room to breathe and resonate, exposing the melodies' brilliant interconnectivity.
