[vers la flamme]

Sure, let me try this.

WTC I: Sviatoslav Richter, Gustav Leonhardt
WTC II: Richter
Partitas: András Schiff
French: Leonhardt, Bob van Asperen
AOF: Leonhardt, Charles Rosen
Goldbergs: Glenn Gould ('55), Pi-hsien Chen (need to find a good harpsichord recording of this—I have Rübsam's on the lute-harpsichord but find it too mannered)

[Jo498]

Can't decide for the WTC, do not care enough about the Italian concerto and don't have enough recordings of the b minor Ouverture, so I am leaving out all of these

Partitas: p: Gould, Sheppard, hp Mortensen (but admittedly, I have not heard enough on harpsichord)
French: p: Gavrilov/EMI, hpschd: Koopman/Erato
English: p: Schiff/Decca, hp: van Asperen/Brilliant
Inventions and Sinfonias: P: Koroliov/hänssler, hp Belder/Brilliant
AOF: probably Koroliov/Tacet on piano, get bored too quickly on harpsichord (I still have three recordings, Hill, Van Delft and the one on Naxos), prefer orchestration or organ (this preference is also usually in favor of piano).
Goldbergs: p: Gould/1981, Rosen, hp: probably Pinnock/DG

WTC I & II: Céline Frisch, Evgeni Koroliov
Partitas: Masaaki Suzuki, Wolfgang Rübsam
English: Masaaki Suzuki, no piano contenders yet
French: Bob van Asperen, Vladimir Ashkenazy
AOF: no harpsichord contenders yet, Joanna MacGregor
Goldbergs: Ottavio Dantone, Ekaterina Derzhavina
Toccatas: Mahan Esfahani, Wolfgang Rübsam

Bob van Asperen is second place choice in the English suites but left out due to my arbitrary rule of one choice per type of instrument. Same with Evgeni Koroliov in the AOF.

Partitas: András Schiff

There are two quite different recordings: 1983 and 2007 (live).

Goldbergs: Pi-hsien Chen

There are two recordings with substantial differences: 1985 and 2001.

Whoops, I meant to specify. Schiff is ECM, Chen is Naxos.
