Most of Glenn Gould's recordings are wonderful, especially the early ones. Also check out Wanda Landowska- she is the matriarch of the historical performance movement and recorded some very interesting performances.
At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot
Dont know why but I have been having a neurotic, torturous audiophile time lately, not wanting to listen to anything for more than about 15 seconds and feeling like I am sick of everything in my collection.
Fishing around iTunes, I found this:
Bach
Concerto for 2 Violins in D Minor BMV 1043
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra
To me, this is wonderful.
Not too insipid but not too raucous...havent heard it 10 billion times in Starbucks.
Can listen and/or read or drive to work and makes the world a better place.
Can anyone else recommend this or similar, particularly better performances, recordings etc.
Thank you.
