I like Shaw, Richter and Klemperer...But the new recording by Jos van Veldhoven - which is totally HIP - is my new favorite.
It is scaled down Bach, so I miss the plush comfort of the large chorus, but there is a major gain in the clarity of parts. Plus a fleet reading, which one would expect, but a studied one as well, I think that Veldhoven is exploring a broader interpretive pallet that in previous HIP recordings that I've heard. The work breathes and is not straitjacketed by an inflexible "bouncy" rhythm.
I'm also happy that the soloists didn't just drop in from the opera house.
Good packaging, maybe too much art?I do want to hear Suzuki, I think I might find that also to my tastes, but I have not seen it to buy it.
