CD Reviews

Nice Bach...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 06/22/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

I obtained this set specifically for Pinnock's scintillating traversal of the Goldberg Variations (S.988), also available in out of print

Bach: Goldberg Variationen

and reissue

Bach: Goldberg-Variationen; Italienisches Konzert [Germany].



Turns out this entire set is an absolutely superb reading of three quarters of Bach's published Clavier-Übung (the fourth quarter is for organ).



These recordings were made in the early-'80s, in different locales on different instruments, yet the sound is consistently excellent, spatial, and crystal-clear. The instruments are mostly newly-built two-manual harpsichords based on classic instruments. The exception is the Belgian instrument of 1646 used for the Goldbergs.



Pinnock's technique and artistry are really outstanding, and his work is a worthy tribute to "Old Bach," holding its own with Glenn Gould.



Very satisfactory.
