How is this Bach recording by McDermott?

[Bogey]

A day of Schumann....do not really need a reason for that.



Like a bottle of Sawyer's 2000 Bradford Meritage.  Ready to drink NOW while maintaining a lush and elegant taste.

Also:



Continued thanks here, George.  Kempff is still my favorite for LvB's sonatas (still need that mono set).....so really itching to pull the trigger on the complete Schumann/Kempff set.  Guess I'll spin the following in the meantime:

[Keemun]

That's a wonderful Adagio - and it's from the String Quintet (a work that I recommend for everyone)

I've not heard the String Quartet, but hope to some day.

That's the talk of the enemy - you clearly are not a Bach man.

I'm a Bach man, so long as there are no keyboard instruments involved.  I have yet to develop a tolerance an appreciation for all those keyboard works.  

[George]

Continued thanks here, George.

You are most welcome. 

Kempff is still my favorite for LvB's sonatas (still need that mono set).....so really itching to pull the trigger on the complete Schumann/Kempff set.

From what I hear, you've got his best Schumann in that set. Buying this will get you 2+ CDs of Richter's Schumann.

[Bogey]

Ah.  I will consider that then.

Now playing this CD, which arrived from MDT early in the week.  Four more orders are on their way ...

And I repeat  ......You know Stuart, I am with you on not just spinning this in December.  In fact, mine (Slatkin) gets more play in July than any other month

I feel like I have stumbled into a parallel universe.

"J.S. Bach and the Möller Manuscript"

Carole Cerasi, harpsichord

Metronome

Johann Sebastian BACH: Toccata in D (BWV 912a)
Harpsichord by Bruce Kennedy 1998, after Christian Zell (1728) kindly lent by Juan Estévez

J.S. Bach - Toccatas BWV 910-916
Menno van Delft (harpsichord)
Instrument: Matthias Griewisch (Bammeltal, Germany), after an undated instrument by Michael Mietke, ca. 1700 (Schloss, Charlottenburg, Berlin)
71'28
Brilliant Classics

Cerasi -great disc, BTW- has been the ideal excuse to re-listen to these superb performances by Menno van Delft, especially that youthful Toccata in D major BWV912, included in an alternative version in Cerasi's disc. 

[Coopmv]

It is most appropriate to play some Bach's passion on Good Friday.  Now playing CD4 for a first spin - St John Passion from this set, which arrived from Newbury Comics about 2 weeks ago ...

It's Bach and Leonhardt, has to be great.

It's Bach and Leonhardt, has to be great.

... and we shouldn't forget Wolf Erichson, that amazing producer, supervisor and recording engineer. 

[Daverz]

Henry Cowell: Concerto Grosso.  A lovely work in the vein of the English pastoralists.  Beautifully recorded, too.

Not even the piano? That's like saying "I like Bruckner without the brass section."
