With Richard Goode and Jeremy Denk both in prospect, the Bath Festival fields two of America’s most thoughtful pianists – each, coincidentally, opening with JS Bach. In Denk’s eclectic line-up, the G minor English Suite acts as feisty prelude to Byrd’s The Passinge Mesures, ragtimes by Stravinsky, Hindemith, Balcom and Ives, and Schubert’s piano sonata swansong, D960.
