Re: Triosonate c-minor BWV 526



Hi Jost,
 
I'm afraid I've never seen the words triosonate and gould linked before.  Sorry.   My guess is there is no such recording.
 
As a tangent though, if you're into trying to track down out-of-print cds, but perhaps it is still in-print in Europe, I strongly recommend Eliot Fisk's and Albert Fuller's guitar/harpsichord transcriptions of the trio sonatas.  It's one of my all time favorite discs, and that first movement to bwv 526 is wonderful.  You know how on some of those early gould recordings, the 55 Goldbergs say, or the recently mentioned inventions and sinfonias (more on that one note later), or on the partitas set the tape recorders have captured the presense of a great musical spirit, of energy and a joy of music making, of musical ideas just overflowing from Gould's fingers and into your mind.  This disc has that soulfullness in abundance as well.
 
Every now and then the f minor compiles a list of Gould-like discs.  This one is going on mine.  The rhythmic nature of their playing is noticeably freer than Gould's and the tempos not so extreme, but boy oh boy is some of the same rich and complex spirit  there.

I wonder if Gould has ever done a recording of triosonate c-minor BWV 526 on orgue. I'm interested in the 1st set - vivace.
 
Anyone having an idea?
