Bach JS

Bach’s legacy: From Romanticism to clarity [JF]

A little slice of Stokowskian debut history in these two discs [JW]

(Déjà Review) A splendid new account, which all devotees of Bach’s vocal music should try to hear [JQ]

Reflective and intimate [DF]

Protean and prolific [JW]

A strange reading, alternately irritating and delightful, marred by occasional self-conscious idiosyncrasies [RMo]

A very special collection of lieder, opera and operetta from one of the great post-war sopranos [DBe]

A recital that sets up tensions, fruitful and otherwise, between voice and piano [JW]

A combination that seems so unlikely, but it works very well [DJB]

Lim’s Carnegie Hall Goldbergs failed to engage me at all [DJB]

(Déjà Review) A splendid mix of the structure of Bach and the exuberance of the French romantic organ [JFL]

An important survey of one of the great partnerships of the 20th century at its peak [DHa]

A fascinating, marvellously presented anthology [JQ]

Anyone in need of a brand-new recording of the cello suites can with confidence invest in this one [GF]

One to lift the spirits [DC]

If perfection exists in a recording of this greatest of Baroque solo instrument works, it is here [RMo]

A new Goldberg arrangement for strings, hamstrung by slow tempos [DJB]

(Déjà Review) At the right time and in the right mood you may find this irresistible [JS]

Historic live Bach from Edwin Fischer restored in fine sound [JW]

Rademann continues to achieve impressive results [MC]

(Déjà Review) A standard which will be hard to beat [DC]

(Déjà Review) An enjoyable disc then, and not your usual Bach greatest hits [GD]

The sheer musicality and joy of the performances makes them my first choice [JS]

This deserves a place in a catalogue already full of recordings of Bach’s violin concertos [JV]
