After listening to Gould '81 for years and years ('55 is insane, I can't listen to it), I recently started listening to Tureck, and must say I've gotten a lot out of her '99 recording. She plays so precisely and so delicately, and I think with such balance between the counterpoints. And she also takes a long view of the phrasing, which is really interesting. My other one I really like (not included here) is a Karl Richter performance on harpsichord. It's fierce, like everything he did.

@tonycosworth évidemment, on ne peut pas aimer à la fois Gould et le clavecin (Voltaire parlait, à propos du piano, d'un instrument de chaudronnier ; là on est du même niveau) - dommage qu'on ne puisse pas comparer avec Scott Ross ou Gustav Leonhardt

Great piece of music and the performances were all great. It really comes down to personal preferences, and for me Gould and Kempff were the favourites.
-
Enjoyed the comparisons! I was tickled that the harpsichordists were the 'Bonus' tracks though haha
-
Out of these people, only Barenboim and Schiff are still living =(
-
I think -
1 - Gould
2 - Barenboim, Schiff, Kempff, Arrau
3 - Don't yell at me, but I think Tureck's version could be better. I wish there's a recording when she was younger.

They all played well in homage to the great Johann Sebastion Bach.

For me, Tureck reveals more of theis contrapuntal music than the others, But I loved Kempff's bouncy rhythms - wonderful playing. And wonderful playing from all of them. Does there have to be a winner? I thank God that we have so many magical interpretations. Thanks for the video
