Title: Outstanding Bach Playing!
Product review: I simply cannot understand the one-star rating of the first customer reviewer here. I have owned this Schepkin disc of the WTC-Book 1 for quite some time and it is one that I reach for as often as any I own - and I have probably a dozen WTC1s. His interpretation does not transgress the bounds of taste or authentic performance practice as some do, and yet he brings a freshness and élan to his playing that I find quite invigorating. His ornaments are always appropriate and yet often surprisingly inventive. Further, the recorded piano sound is lifelike; the bass is particularly rich here so that he doesn't seem to feel the need to do octave doublings as some interpreters do.For what it's worth, I also love his 'Goldberg Variations' on this same label. I think young Mr Schepkin is an outstanding Bachian and I look for anything he records.2 CDs - TT: 115:30Scott Morrison
