CD Reviews

Classic Bach - in the best transfer

Fidelio | Netherlands | 04/28/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Edwin Fischer's Bach is very special indeed. This recording of "Das Wohltemperierte Klavier" is the first milestone in the discography of Bach's work for the keyboard. It is a Romantic approach, of course, but Bach's music sings and glows. Fischer's style is fluid and sensitive with a sound intellectual basis.

A word about the various transfers available. Get this one! I prefer it to the overly filtered transfer by Naxos, which is a lot cheaper. The version by EMI sounds restricted and harsh with a metallic clang."
