Thanks for the kind words.   It was an experiment, really.  I was hoping to get a more professional-sounding recording.   Not happy about that side of it.   Which is part of the reason I did the Bach on a "sampled" piano.

Very nice.
I'm not sure what you mean by ' I was hoping to get a more professional-sounding recording' - all sounds great to me.

There's a lot of "background" noise, I guess is the best way to express it.   That sort of noise is completely absent from pro recordings, and from pre-sampled piano recordings, too. 

I should replay the same piece on my electronic keyboard to show what I mean (when I get time).  But if you listen to the WTC 1 I posted here, you'll notice that there's NO background noise.
