Review title: Unique
Product review: While one must recognize Mr. Newman's virtuosic technique on this album, one also recognize that playing fast is not the ultimate goal of playing. Overall, his tempos were almost too brisk. One got the impression that he was trying to prove that he could play very quickly.In addition, his registrations were rather bizarre. For example, in the Prelude and Fugue in e (Cathedral), while the echoe effect of the fugue was intriguing, the prelude far from conveyed the majestic quality of the writing. The registration was thin and whiny.Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the Passacaglia and Fugue. This piece seemed to suffer particularly from Mr. Newman's registrations and tempo. Schizophrenic would be the word that comes to mind when describing it.I give this album two stars, only because Mr. Newman played all the notes acurately. Moving from there, however, he failed to deliver. For a great Bach recording, I recommend WIlliam Porter's "One of a Kind."
