5.0 out of 5 stars Landowska: The Optimum-Tempered Clavier, August 8, 2000
By 
This review is from: Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book ll, BWV 870-93 (Audio CD)
Wanda Landowska is reputed to be the best interpreter of Bach in Clavier on records, and after you hear this recording you will understand why. The preludes and fuges included in the album require exceptional skills, and Landowska shows herself as an absolute authority. This historical recording of 1951-54 is one of the few played in the original instrument (clavier) instead of a transcription to piano. The quality of sound is very good, and the price is much below its real value.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Regular People" Review, February 26, 2007
This review is from: Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book ll, BWV 870-93 (Audio CD)
First of all, I'm really disposed to the harpsichord, so its only natural that I like this. A lot of people who aren't sure what this is need to listen to some previews first, because I don't think this music is for everyone. HOWEVER if you do like it do yourself a favor and do a little searching for the RCA Red Seal Complete Landowska Recordings, Its a seven disc set (Including the The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I and II and more) for less than this two disc set alone, hope this helps....and keep me updated!

This review is from: Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book ll, BWV 870-93 (Audio CD)
My mom gave me the two CD sets last Christmas because:

1) I love Bach

2) I love harpsichord

How could she go wrong with a gift like this to someone like me? It is great having hours of great music I can just sit down and listen to as I read a book or study. I just love it! :)
