CD Reviews

Differently colored Hantai Goldbergs

04/10/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The most beautiful harpsichord versions of the Goldbergs has to be Pierre Hantai's 1993 recording. This is his new one, and it too is a revelation. Where the first one was exuberant, joyful, pure pleasure to listen to, the second is colored differently--Hantai builds hesitations, affecting ornamentation and moments of subtle introspection into each variation, as if finding his way around these pieces anew. As a result, they're more emotionally complex than the earlier versions. Are they better? More beautiful? No--they just inhabit another part of the spectrum."

An excellent recording

William H. C. Congdon | Santa Fe, NM USA | 06/06/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a half a century of listening to recordings of the Goldbergs, I have never found a more beautiful one than this. It has many, many moments of all but transcendental loveliness. Everywhere the music dances (as should all Bach). Heartily recommeneded to everyone who loves JSB and even more to those who have til now disliked him."
