Just Perfect,
By Nick Forbes (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach: The Concertos for One and Two Harpsichords (Audio CD)
Unlike the usual recordings of Bach's keyboard concertos, the harpsichord is used in this Philips recording, instead of the piano. Listening to this quickly takes the listener back to the 18th century, a quality that a performance on a modern pianoforte lacks. The music is always played with respect to form and proper dynamics, surely what Bach himself would have wanted. Whether austere or light-hearted, these concertos are something all Bach lovers should have. Rarely do we have emotional depth, clear digital sound, and historical accuracy all together on one CD, but here we find it.

This review is from: Bach: The Concertos for One and Two Harpsichords (Audio CD)
I felt Leppard's execution was a bit pedestrian, but being a subjective impression, you may really like it. The music itself, of course, is wonderful.

Bach for all ears,
By capezio "capezio" (Vitoria, ES Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach: The Concertos for One and Two Harpsichords (Audio CD)
This recording is shurelly a "pick of the day" for almost all Bach melody lovers. It's light and dancing and although a little old fashioned never disapoints. Raimmond Leppard and the English Chamber Orch. make a wedding cuple and everithyng walks togheter. The tradicional string playing is sharp and warm and we fell back in time while listening. The clear and more dense Philips ADD recording is masterlly remastered and you can buy this set with eyes closed. It's a pity Philips didn't added one more CD with the concerts for 3 and 4 harpischords (this one a great energetic Vivaldi transcription of L'estro Harmônico Op.3 nº10), recorded with the same team. Go listen to it!
