In Reply to: Either of the Gould's and Hantai's posted by jdaniel@jps.net on March 24, 2017 at 20:02:29:
In particular, Pierre Hantai's first traversal, which you picture, is one of the best examples of recorded harpsichord sound I've ever heard. We might soften the hearts of the anti-HIP crowd if all harpsichord recordings were that good.
I'm in what is probably a small minority of those who prefer Glenn Gould's second take to his first.
For another surprisingly compelling piano version, check out Kimiko Ishizaka. Her 24/96 download was available for free, don't know if it still is, but her prices are low.
