Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1


I have the day off today so I'm going to listen to the WTC in its entirety from Kirkpatrick's sets - these are unique in being performed on the Clavichord which has quite a nice tone in these recordings.
The Book 1 set suffers a bit from a poor recording but its still an excellent performance and will be an enjoyable listen.




I have the WTC by Kirkpatrick as well.  He is considered the American Gustav Leonhardt and was professor of harpsichord (or music) at Yale for many years ...

Finzi's Cello Concerto....COWBELLS in the central climax of the slow movement! That so soothes my Mahlerian soul.  ;D

:o :o Cowbells ... Wasn't that P.D.Q. Bach? Or Richard Straus?  :D
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

I bought this set some 25 years ago.  This was also the first recording by John Eliot Gardiner that came into my classical music collection ...
