This recording has been impressing me mightily over the past 2 days rising to the top of all the Dusapin I've heard over the years.  Both works strike me as masterpieces.

J.S.BACH

Keyboard Concertos Vol.2

Ton Koopman



I'm back with another old Bonsai Duo  :D

A solar and thrilling Bach, full of joy, but at the same time the defect is that ends up becoming monochrome and happy also where it should not be. We say excessive gaiety, is this Koopman's Bachian style ?

Overall, recommended, but I prefer the severity, precision and depth of Pinnock.

Needless to say, incredibly beautiful music !
