The Bach Partitas need no introduction, and this is a superlative recording performed on piano by Shoshana Telner. Canadian pianist Shoshana Telner has performed across Canada and abroad. Described as an “authentic musician with a sparkling technique” (Le Droit) and “full of fire and warmth” (the New York Times), Shoshana has a passion for engaging audiences with exciting performances.
