CD Reviews

Priceless old recording

pohjola | Maryland | 09/08/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Actually I don't have the Tahra release of Bach's Art of the Fugue by Scherchen, I have the original lp release from London (miraculously discovered in a used record store, $0.75 for the three LP set). This recording is totally unique, and unlike anything you will hear in a modern recording of music by Bach. No modern interpreter of Bach would dare reproduce the warm, romantic, almost sentimental sound of these performances. Just a wonderful thing to hear."
