My WTC recordings comparisons.
Hello everybody:
This past summer holidays I was listening very carefully to the Well
Tempered Clavier recordings I have: Schiff, Richter, Gould and
Landowska.
Finally I have finished listening of WTC volume I.
Obviously I have to tell that I recommend this experience to everybody.
It is difficut to answer the question: "What WTC recording do you
prefer?" Actually I don't know what to tell. Every player is very good
in a prelude, but very bad in the next fugue. It depends on the piece.
My past ideas has changed radically. I dind't like some players, and
now I think them are the best, and viceversa.
I listened to every prelude and every fugue carefully, comparing every
player many times, and I wrote my impressions. I have intended to be
objective, but obviously personal preferences plays an important role.
My impressions are 23 Kb long, and this is the reason I do not post
them here. I think it is better to put them in my WWW page.
You can find them in

For the moment it is posted only volume I.
Waiting for your comments...
