5.0 out of 5 stars Indeed a fantastic performance, October 22, 2003

I echo one of the reviewer's comments: I'm addicted to this fantastic CD -- every piece is so wonderfully played by Awadagin. The level of energy and excitement exerted by Awadegin is unmatched by other pianists playing the same pieces of Bach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bach as you've never heard it!, April 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Play Bach (Audio CD)

I am addicted to this CD, finding that I prefer it to other, more traditional, renditions of Bach's great works. If you are a Bach fan, you MUST add this to your collection. As an aside, I'm fed up with snotty reviewers screaming, "Authenticity!" every time someone tries to do something interesting with Baroque music. If we are comfortable hearing Bach played on modern instruments, we should be able to expand our aural vocabulary to include the fabulous job the musicians do on this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awadagin is a genius., October 13, 2009

This CD is simply lovely. Awadagin's touch and interpretations are perfect, and the Quartet couldn't have been better. All together, they made beautiful music that I continue to enjoy. I think you will, too!
