Music reviews of Bach: Keyboard Concertos, Vol. 2
Music Review: Interesting Point of View - Not for Purists
Rating: 4 Stars
I enjoy Gould's performances of the Bach concertos, but I wouldn't give them "reference recording" status. I tend to prefer the harpsichord and gut strings in this repertory (Egarr's recent Harmonia Mundi set, Leonhardt on an old Teldec set, and especially, Pinnock on Universal). I've also gotten a great deal of enjoyment from Perahia's traversal (also on Sony) which offers much better sound than these forty something year old recordings. Gould's pointillistic approach to Bach is much in evidence - a mite choppy in phrasing at times, but always interesting. Tempi are lively and the Siciliano of the E major concerto makes a very strong impression as a result. It can sometimes tend to drag.
The usual obligato humming from Mr. Gould is very present but is less distracting here than in some of his recordings of the solo works. The piano sound is bright and forward. The recorded sound shows its age in the wiry sound of the string tuttis and considerable tape hiss. The disc and its companion provide a good performance on the modern concert grand of these important works, but as a supplement to a good harpsichord version. The concerto for keyboard and two obbligato flutes (a re-working of the Fourth Brandenburg Concerto) is missing.
