Good Bach Piano Concerto in Dminor recording

I have this recording played by Glen Gould and his performance is incredible. I doubt anyone can play this piece the way he does. The only problem is that the recording is pretty bad and probably in mono. For the most part, the piano sounds muddy and lack dynamic. It sounds fine in a car stereo but a bit odd with a good two channel setup.

Anyone knows if there is a better recording for this piece?

I assume it's BWV 1052 you're looking for, in which case you might try another very talented Canadian pianist, Angela Hewitt (and the Australian Chamber Orchestra), on Hyperion [CDA67307].

While it's pretty tough to compete head to head with Glenn, she acquits herself quite admirably--and the recording quality is very good too!

If you like this CD you might consider the second volume as well [CDA67308]. Great stuff!
