RE: Immersing Myself in Bach's Trio Sonatas: Keyboard and Ensemble

Posted by alc777 on September 14, 2020 at 10:14:55:

Well, I think I was transported back a thousand years and being in the same situation receiving Power Biggs' trio sonata. That sounds to me as a lute and banjo practicing class. Did you really not thinking that Mr. Biggs brought more of how an American plays classical music than things about Bach's work?

Olafsson's playing was fine to me until he got to those heavy pounding chords, they have the dramatic effect that probably he wanted there but drives me away from where I was immersing myself into.

Ah Lara! I like her playing if not a bit restless to me. Can be great when I don't want those quiet and repetitive Bachs.

Zukerman do share some similarities with Masur of their music styles. But I'll vote more for Masur because his excellent Beethoven symphonies.
