I did not have time to read entire article at this point, but her lectures/demonstrations on both harpsichord and piano are a must for anyone who is interested in Bach performance.

I was at her concert in Saint Petersburg some 15 years ago (or so). I think she was 82 then. It was pretty remarkable and there was no ANY sign of age.

Not for nothing G. Gould called her his only influence.

She's right. My only quibble would be that I think Couperin works quite well on a piano.

"There is no more sure way of killing a composer than of confining him to his own period."

I guess I should start playing some Bach.
