These are stylish but unselfconscious interpretations. The tempi are well chosen, the phrasing informed by harmony, the repeats nicely varied and the sense of petite reprises at the ends of sections delightfully savoured. Rohmann appreciates the value of a Baroque bow in this repertoire and uses hers eloquently.
