"If you are like most people who like classical music, you probably like me, won't really be able to tell if Gould is better than Richter or if Richter is better than Van Cliburn but you do know if you like a tune or not. As many of these previously mentioned performer's works were recorded ages ago on old equipment and hence sound terrible, you are better off getting newer recordings by very competent performers who recorded on much better equipment and in this case DDD quality and at a tiny fraction of the price. This album is an example of this; Bach's Suites Nos. 1 and 2 are probably among his most beautiful pieces and they are admirably performed here by Eugen Duvier and the sound quality is excellent. Great value for money and a great album. Highly recommended."
