Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini

I liked it.

Even with your piano sounding as it did I listened to it twice. Usually I am not so forgiving if an instrument is out of tune. So I liked it and found it interesting.

On the other hand, because of the tuning, it is very hard for me to have any usefull comments. Sorry.

Succes

Prelude sounds too heavy, I think; more like Chopin than Bach. But, in itself, well played, very involved and affectionate. You give the impression of having decided precisely how you want it, and are able to do it that way.

The fugue I like more! Your slightly romantic approach seem more fitting here, with good part-playing, dynamic control and phrasing!
