Bach on the Piano
Aug 22nd, 2008 by oldfogey
Following on from my previous, I was intending to post something from the Well Tempered Clavier played by Wilhelm Kempff on the piano. Alas my vinyl recording is worn and hasn’t transfered to digital well. So here, as a more than adequate substitute is Alfred Brendel playing the lovely Andante from the Italian Concerto. Imagine, as you listen, this being played tinnily, plinkety-plink, on the harpsichord and acknowledge how much better and fuller, to our ears, it is, played so well, on the modern piano.
