“… quite simply an amazing pianist!” The New York Times
“Feltsman's imaginative and creative ornaments and embellishments consistently delight and surprise...You may not get painstaking dynamic gradations or micro-managed contouring of lines...but you won't find many piano versions of the Bach partitas where joyous musicality, communicative immediacy and fervent commitment emerge to Feltsman's consistent degree.” GRAMOPHONE
“This is macho Bach: low-fat, temperamental, sometimes impatient, always energetic, never dreamy-eyed. He eschews mannerisms yet honors the nuances...These are very good performances benefiting from very good recording quality. They will suit the tastes of those who prefer their Bach without a too-obvious Romantic overlay.” MusicWeb Int
