Bach did not give these suites the designation of "English," which is evident by the fusion of French, Italian, and German compositional elements throughout. The different styles featured in the English Suites are held together by a feeling of hard-won rightness and proportion as each component contributes its share to the unity of the collective whole.
J.S. Bach's music has been a major through line in Rangell's career, exemplified by STEINWAY & SONS albums such as 2013's Bach: Keyboard Masterworks, featuring the Goldberg variations, F- sharp minor Toccata, and the 2 Ricercares from The Musical Offering; and 2019's Bach 4 Kids, with excerpts from the French Suites, Keyboard Partitas, Well-Tempered Clavier, and other keyboard works.
"Rangell's free-spirited Bach is distinguished by its powerful drive and intensity and a remarkable articulation that illuminates contrapuntal intricacies with microscopic clarity." New York Times
