Title: Romanticism on the harpsichord
Review: I may be blinkered by the recordings of the Well-Tempered Clavier I grew up with, but Moroney's interpretation leaves me cold. I am not at all opposed to transcriptions and arrangements of WTC, and I honestly don't know how Bach would have played it himself; but this is the harpsichord, not the piano; and these pieces are weakened (if that were possible) by Moroney's Romantic interpretation. The notes speak for themselves, but Moroney often seems to want to either say something different, or add needless emphasis. I like my tea with one sugar, not three, thank you.As a resource it's quite valuable (small mistakes aside): but I would look elsewhere for a satisfying performance.
