Is this instrument one of those made by Keith Hill, Robert's brother?

[earlymus]

Thanks for your comments. Yes, this is a Keith Hill Taskin model instrument, from 1998, owned by the Freiburg Musikhochschule, where I teach.

G minor

[earlymus]

This transcription is down a fifth from G Minor to C Minor, as was typical for some violin to harpsichord transcriptions from the Bach circle.

I just love Bach's handwriting !

[TheUnknownDepths]

The feel of the piece, the richness of the harpsichord, and the moving handwritten score all add to the tranquility of this wonderful piece.

0:51 to 1:05 in particular is absolutely georgeous.

This is beautiful, just the way I hear the "missing" notes of the piece in my head. You must record this. Any people from the labels reading this?

Beautiful !

How do you not like this?

[Nicksvoiceinthewild]

It's such a luscious sound - the hands and the instument and recording - almost like the charater of rain.

Dear Robert Hill, you make it difficult for everyone else to record a J. S. Bach CD now. Thank you for your inspiring playing!

[cabottobac]

Robert, your phrasing is superb! It reminds me of phrasing more commonly used for the harpsichord music of Couperin and Rameau ... This is a truly wonderful recording!
