mamajoanI got that recording of Bach's double keyboard concerto (BWV 1060) that I bought on ebay, and I don't like it. It's much too legato in the first movement. The piece needs to start off with an explosion on the opening chord and then the main motif should be, not staccato exactly, but sharp, separated. Certainly not legato! It's kind of like the problem I have with pretty much every recording of Mozart's Symphony #25 (K183): they always play it too lilting, too cheery. It's in g minor, for heaven's sake, people!!! It's a dark, angry symphony! He was seventeen when he wrote it! It's all about angst!!
Ahem. But anyway. So I have a recording of BWV1060, which fills a hole in my collection, but now I need a *good* recording of it. Ah well. Back to the drawing board, so to speak. (The CD's not a total loss. The third movement of 1060 is pretty good, and it also has a decent rendition of the Italian Concerto.)
I bet Glenn Gould recorded 1060. The only question is, can I get it for less than an arm and a leg?
