Huh, now that's an interesting video. It looks like they did it as an art project

Yes, that's the spirit! None of that piccolo trumpet nonsense! Richter was great, but he was not HIP. I was actually wondering whether there was a good performance like that online.
Oh I miss living in Freiburg.

My first performance of The Brandenburgs was the Richter performance, mostly because I heard that that recording was one of the last things Nick Drake listened to before he killed himself. Later, I would graduate to Trevor Pinnock's performance; the man had not one, but two exemplary recordings of the Brandenburgs.

But, given the choice between the two, I'd have to pick the earlier set. Why? Given the choice between two nigh-on-perfect recordings of some of Bach's great masterworks, would you pick the newer one, which costs $28 for a two-disc, 95 minute set, or the one that costs $24 and has recordings of the Orchestral Suites AND Violin concertos to boot?

Karl Richter's performance also is on the Voyager disk, no? 
I couldn't decide, if they both have different interesting aspects, I'd get both...

So, Scarlatti was born in the same year as Bach and Händel, and he mostly seems to be famous for his hapsichord sonatas. They are very progressive for their time, and they lend themselves for interpretation on a grand piano. I wonder if this is genius or gimmickry and showing off on Martha's side. It sure sounds incredible

I always prefer the harpsichord for harpsichord music.

I wasn't familiar with her, amazing. Is there a story behind why she plays standing up?
