3.0 out of 5 stars The CD with good and bad performances., August 15, 2001

This review is from: Bach - Super Hits: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring / Ormandy, etc (Audio CD)

I am quite glad this Cd is only under 10 dollars, because it is not worth more than 10 bucks. The first piece, "Jesu Joy..." is directed my Eugene Ormandy who replaced the harpsichord with a Harp, how STUPID is that!!!? Igor Kipnis gives a bastardized form of Interpretation of the Minuet in G-Major. The Toccata and Fugue for organ is nice, but is played rather quickly. The Air in D is boring and instead of a Harpsichord Le'Idiot uses a String Bass. Sleepers Awake- no commment. All of the "piano" pieces you hear talking in the background or humming. My favorite tracks are 3-4,and 12-13.

This CD is a great one for people who enjoy classical music or need some soothing and uplifting music in their lives. Bach was one of the greatest composers in our history and his work is performed with excellence in this CD. I would highly recommend it for all.
