Партиты в исполнении Сергея Щепкина (ранняя запись, 1995 год) я слушал неоднократно. Они несколько быстроваты и коротковаты (что в отношении Партит означает "короче двух часов"; здесь же запись заметно короче, 1 час 44 мин), а также заметно орнаментированы, но... Есть в этой записи некое особое очарование, высказать которое я не берусь, но оно весьма заметно, чувствуется сразу и хочется переслушивать.

Цитата:
Schepkin the iconoclast does it againThe Partitas are here performed playfully rather than seriously. On the repeats, Schepkin ornaments almost to the degree one would expect from Couperin or Rameau, rolling his chords grandly, using all sorts of dynamics, and making it clear that this music of drama, wit, and emotion. And for the Partitas, it works beautifully - these are among the best of Bach's works, yes, but too often they are played as if the listener were to analyze rather than dance. Here, as in all of Schepkin's playing, it is clear that he takes Wanda Landowska's advice,"You play Bach your way, and I'll play him His way" to heart. Schepkin plays Bach his way, and he is never boring and often moving. This is a recording that makes you want to hear him live - it has a spontaneous quality that you won't heare from much other Bach recordings.
I'm not convinced that Sergei Schepkin's Bach playing is to everyone's taste (and, of course, the same could be said about every recording out there). I don't like his approach to the Goldbergs, and there are some things in the WTC recordings that are a little too mannered for my taste. But for the Partitas, this is a welcome approach; every music student thinking of studying on one of these would be well advised to hear this playing as a counterpoint to Gould's recording.

Lovely, a joy to listen to.Schepkin's playing of these works by Bach is charming, direct, and lyrical. Like Glenn Gould with heart. Volume 2 is equally lovely, the perfect pair for waking on a clear morning or drifting off on a warm evening.
