5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward playing, April 3, 1999
By A Customer
Janos Sebestyen plays these study pieces clearly, crisply, and cleanly. The tempi are nicely set, and his delicate use of rhythms sounds as though he is playing on the harpsichord. Included on this album are a few selections from the notebook Bach made for his second wife Anna Magdalena, including that perennially charming Minuet in G, Anh. 114.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, but fails to move, November 23, 1999
By bob Fugill (Alo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
Janos has an effortless way of playing, although he misses out on the more deliacte nuances found in other recordings. More interesting recordings are Glenn Gould (intoxicating) or Andras Schiff (featherlight and bouncy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Played , January 18, 2007
By David E. Haupt (Cedar Rapids, IA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A Bonus is several pieces from Mary Magdelina's famous Notebook (Bach's Second Wife's book of beginning pieces of which most piano students have played for centuries) which the artist plays with great command. It is rare to hear great pianists play these kind of supposedly simplistic pieces that Bach evidently composed for his several genius sons and other children of which he had 20!

Sebestyen's rendering of Bach is very clean and precise, something which is very important in contrapuntal compositions. Read more
