recordings on these pieces.....(your own as well of others of famous pianists).
on: July 26, 2006, 05:47:01 PM
I am currently learning these pieces:

Bach: French suites 1-2
Bach: English suite 1
Bach: Inventions
Bach: Singonias

If you have a link or something where I can upload them that would be even better, other wise upload them here. So far I have only got Glenn gould's recording...I would appreciate as many interpretions as possible.

Thanks in advance

Check Angela Hewitt and Ivo Janssen. They are for me the reference for contemporary Bach playing and they both recorded all those pieces you mention.

Ivo Janssen? You really think he's good? First of all, I'm astonished people know this guy. I think he comes from Holland, and I live in Belgium so I have heard from him. I once listened to his Chopin preludes, really bad in my opinion.

Well, it happens that some people are more comfortable in a genre than another... His Bach is really OK for me. I have his WTC's, Goldberg and Toccatas, really like it. He plays Bach almost exactly the way I like it. A matter of taste as well.
I didn't hear him on any other composer. What unpleased you with the Chopin Preludes?
