Romy,You refer to the D minor concerto as a "piano concerto," but wasn't it originally composed for harpsichord, like all his other keyboard works? (Except organ of course.) Anyway, I have a harpsichord recording of the D minor with Sylvia Marlowe, ...

When I first heard Scarlatti on a harpsichord it was a revelation. I found the tone, in its attack, to be almost like that of an electric guitar, and very energetic. I do not know to what degree this is inherent to the instrument, or how Scarlatti us...

Hi Romy,Yes great minds think alike! I made a note of a viola version of the suites I heard on the radio just a few weeks ago! It was a modern recording by patricia something and the first time I heard them played on viola and loved it, though i was...

EMI [LP]My copy of this record is a Japanese "audiophile" pressing of the mono EMI version, from the "Great Recordings of the Century" series. I assume from the sound that the latest dubs are also Japanese, but I can't read Japanese/charac...

I agree with the notion that with age our tastes change, I also listen to and perform a lot of classical to baroque music, mostly with historically correct instruments and with attention to different temper.I do not consider Bach or Vivaldi any less ...

A friend of my told another day that with kind are long
nights but short years, it is amazingly accurate. In my family during those
long nights, regardless he reasons we spend time in the kid’s bedroom, we play
Bach. If it pretty much anything, wo...

Ophelie Gaillard has recorded a very good Bach set, and her Britten recordings are also quite excellent.WRT to her Bach, I find it somehow related to the second Maisky in heartfulness and spirit.Mats...

I warmed up this morning my tubes and dived into my shelf with solo piano music fishing for some Bach, to celebrate. I wanted it to be long and beautiful and what might be longer and more beautiful then Well-Tempered Clavier?

Interesting. Living in city I did not truly experience rain, snow, wind and any other weather elements as all of it was out there, out of the walls of our city-barricaded live. City life is made to discard the influence of snow. Even if had 2 f...

Steverino, I feel with Bruckner, not like with anybody else, people shall practice holistic approach to listening. It is not juts melodies and sounds of tunes but the whole experience of being who you are exposed to the whole experience of proper pr...

At dinner tonight, we had internet radio playing and a J.S. Bach Motet "Komm, Jesu komm" BWV229 came on. I stopped eating (my wife was not happy, fortunately this does not happen often). The reading was so complete, expressive, clean. Even although t...

I came within an inch of mentioning Gould in the first post but decided to leave it to Fischer, whose performances earn a dedicated post, especially as noted.Yes, there's no way around Gould in his high manic perfection. But too much of Ba...

Just wanted to add my enthusiasm for Lillian Fuchs' transcription and performance of the Bach Cello Suites! Even via CD, the viola is rendered well enough by my system, and Fuchs' playing, including her tempo, is sublime. The lines are well articu...

This record I play a lot lately - insanely gorgeous music and very seriously played music. It is the Eugene Ormandy’s own transcriptions of Bach celebrated toccatas and the passacaglia, along with the Symphony for Double Orchestra. Generally I tend t...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"]I suppose WTC is properly in the first group, but I was playing my beloved Richter 1970 performance. The gorgeous, aqueous, lucid, somehow Mozartian playing just did not work on a inferior setup. I think that Bosendor...
