Desde luego que no Natalia. Para el primer libro te recomiendo Evgeny Koroliov
(Tacet)
como la interpretacion mas profunda que he escuchado. Para el sugundo libro me
gusta mucho Friedrich Gulda (Philips), en una interpretacion menos profunda
pero no menos interesante. Desde luego que esto seria una mezcla de
interpretaciones y si te interesa tener ambos libros por el mismo pianista, mi
primera recomendacion seria Sviatoslav Richter (RCA).

I refer you to previous, exhaustive threads about the WTC. Suffice it
to say that (1) there is no such thing as a "best" WTC, and (2) a lot
of people here, including myself, like Feinberg a lot.
Marc Perman
John Harkness
Well, I think so, though it does have its eccentricities...
My favorite in the "least like Glenn Gould" category would be Joao
Carlos Martins' recording, which is frequently available at Berkshire
for a very reasonable price.

I don't know what the prices are in Argentina or the USA, but here Richter's
recording of the well-tempered clavier on 4 CDs is here in Holland a
superbargain: 40 Dfl ($ 15)

virtues in all and some very fine interpretations - Gould better on the
fugues than preludes, for example. I don't personally like Richter's studio
performances, and yes - I've tried and tried again, and prefer all of the
above, no doubt about it.

Though she is actively disliked by many on this list, I'll still
nominate this year's reissue of Rosalyn Tureck's WTCs as the touchstone
piano recording of this work. Lousy sound, though. I also like the
quite different approach of Edward Aldwell, and certainly would not argue
with anyone who preferred Richter. Any and all approaches to this work
by great musicians are equally valid; unlike the tinklings of Chopin and
Schumann, this music transcends mere interpretation. It's the closest
thing to pure music you're likely to find.

It sounds very much the same (this based on sampling the two at different
times; I own the BMG). The basic acoustic is established by the church in
which the recording was made.
I have never myself found any difficulty in hearing anything in this
recording. The resonant acoustic gives the performance an added warm
glow, which you may not like. But I can hear every note.

recordings of the WTC that are subpar. I also question whether 'this music
transcends mere interpretation'. Tureck's accounts belie that judgment.
Actually, it seems to be easy to turn the WTC into a boring mass of
insufficiently related notes. Inspired musicianship is required, be the
musician 'great', or merely competent.
Of course, any account is aided by Inspired Listening. That's why Tureck's
versions have admirers. That may be why I enjoy Nikolayeva's and Schepkin's
accounts.

Even though I generally like Gould, I was not satisfied with his WTC
Book II. So, I tried Martins. Second your recommendation.

I was happy to sell the bargain copy of Richter's WTC that I bought at
Fame in Amsterdam for a slight profit here in the US - I actively
disliked Richter's slightly idiosynratic playing in the work - in
small doses it worked, but over four hours Richter wore me down.

In the wrong hands, Book II especially, can be an absolute bore. Just my
opinion. Incidentally I have extracts from Kempff's readings on a DG twofer.
He turned to Bach later in his life, and plays them as though he really
enjoys playing them. An essential element in bringing the music to life.
Purity doesn't have to be dull.

Agree. Those who don't have it and want to remedy the situation might
like to know that Berkshire currently has Nikolayeva's at a very good

I agree. If you're going to have only one WTC (piano transcription), it
should definitely be Feinberg's. I am also very fond of Colin Tilney's
set on Hyperion (on clavichord and harpsichord). The old Edwin Fischer
set remains surprisingly competitive after so many decades and so many
changes in Bach interpretation. He was not a flashy pianist, but there's
soul in these recordings (obvious only after repeated hearing). And let
me, once again, recommend Horszowski's Book I, another sleeper that
reveals its splendor on repeated hearing.
As to Schiff, I don't think he improved on Gould, or even equalled the
Canadian's considerable achievement. It's as fleet-fingered as Gould but
without the strong personality. Martins is better than both, a true
piano transcription with a strong modernistic perspective. I think Bach
would have liked all the interpretive licenses that Joao Carlos takes.
It's exciting stuff.
I am not fond of Richter, despite the dazzling pianism. It's a cold
performance.

I recently bought the Naxos transfer of WTC1 and was initially put off
by the speed and brittle sound of #1; now I have found, after repeated
hearings (I'm listening right now), that's it's really grown on me. No
one who loves this music should miss this recording. I'm looking forward
to Naxos II, but I wonder if there's a more recommendable transfer
available.

missing a version of both historical importance and sublime beauty.
As to owning just one WTC, my choice would be Gould, but the task is
impossible. I need also Feinberg, Landowska, Nikolayeva, and an as yet
unrecorded modern harpsichord version for which Smith might tentatively stand
in.
Tureck's 50's version, Hoszowski, Loesser, Richter (live), Fischer, and other
lesser lights all live happily on my shelves, but the prior paragraph gives my

I have to agree: Tureck is insufferably dull. I can't understand her renown
at all. I can only suppose that people who think Bach is ponderous and
boring like Tureck's boring and ponderous playing. Gould is often maddingly
idiosyncratic, but ALWAYS interesting. Richter's recording is all about
subtle and colorful piano playing, but only incidentally about Bach; if you
want Bach to sound like Debussy this is the one to get.

It's not a special Dutch issue. An cooperative organisation of Dutch
(classical) records shops (VKZ - Vereniging Klassieke Zaken

month (december) they offer it again, for the same price.

It's absolutely NOT necessary to subscribe or have a membership (they like
us to subscribe to their magazine, that can found free in the record shops,
that's all).
You should inform about availability online by informing by e-mail or by
ordering. Several of these shops have online facilities. If it's permitted,
I would like to advise you to have a look at my site, on the page
"Adressen". There you can make your choice out of the "VKZ-winkelier"s, for
example:
- Den Haag (The Hague): Caminada (http://www.caminada.nl/)
- Amsterdam: Kuijper Klassiek (http://www.kuijperklassiek.nl/), often
recommended in this ng.
I hope you'll succeed this way, but hurry. The Perahia set is available in
abundance, and all the other sets are still available too. I should not know
why this shops should not want to sell online; they made their websites for
that purpose.

and order one of these. F-L

And feel free to ask me more (by e-mail seems to be the best) if you have
problems with texts in Dutch.

Kempff does seven Preludes and Fugues from Book I (BWV 849, 854 to 859), and
five from Book II (BWV 872, 875, 876, 884 and 893) on a DG Double I have. He
doesn't bore me, which is always possible, especially with Book II.

The DG Bach Masterpieces budget-priced series single CD (463 020-2) I
spoke of, has 18 of the Preludes and Fugues from Book I.

For the last 5 years my favorites have been
Feinberg for home listening and John Lewis
(MJQ) for driving.

Um... did anybody dare let you drive w/ him/her in the car while you were
listening to that? If yes, what an admirable, brave, enduring person
he/she has to be!

I'm looking for a WTC that doesn't put me to sleep - maybe the above
pianists are the answer.

Presumably, Mr. Koren drives a well tempered automobile.
