Why the arpeggios in the left hand? There is not 1 arpeggio marked in the transcription by Bach. Even the "mordants" are not played correctly. Why do so many pianists need to "add" things that aren't indicated? I'm sorry but i find this kind of playing extremely narcissistic. This is probably the worst performance that i heard ...

@tonybooth4 Could be.I'm really not sure.She certainly played her transcription of "Jesu, joy of man's desiring"
And the concerts were in the National Gallery in London during the war and famously during some of the air-raids.A great woman.

@TheSmoshmy yes the echo and recording seems unbalanced, was ot Dame Myra Hess who played this in yhose famous concerts??

I liked the penetrating and projected intensity of your R.H. cantabile.But are L.H. chords ALL supposed to be arpeggiated.Or do you have a problem in voicing chords in the L.H. precisely and cleanlyYou obviously love this piece which comes through.But this had soulfulness....but those L.H. chords............??!

@lovesGenet I'm assuming that the same amount of thought you gave your comment went into your grammar and punctuation as well.
