About

J.S. Bach’s genius is universally revered by music lovers, and a significant part of his output was in transcriptions of his own work, a tradition kept alive in Eleonor Bindman’s piano versions of the Six Suites for Solo Cello. Bindman has avoided embellishing these iconic pieces, preserving the intriguing ambiguities in Bach’s implied harmonies and savouring their expressive qualities through the baritone register of a marvellous Bösendorfer piano. These admirably accurate transcriptions reveal the mysterious mathematical grace and flexibility of structure that makes Bach’s art so organic and eternal.

Praised for her ‘lively, clear-textured and urbane’ Bach performances and her ‘impressive clarity of purpose and a full grasp of the music’s spirit’, New York-based pianist, arranger and teacher Eleonor Bindman received a BA in music from NYU and completed her MA in piano pedagogy at SUNY under the guidance of Vladimir Feltsman. She has performed at Carnegie Hall and with such orchestras as the Moscow Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra. In the past few years, she has been focusing on the music of J.S. Bach, including her Brandenburg Duets, a new arrangement of the six Brandenburg Concertos for piano four-hands. The Orchestral Suites, also for piano four-hands, are forthcoming.
