J. S. Bach wrote no piano concertos. In fact I don't think there was such a thing as a piano during his lifetime. A few of his sons may have written works for the piano however. I prefer my J. S. Bach on harpsichord which is the instrument he wrote for. IMO: The piano, especially the modern piano, forces a certain amount of romanticism that didn't exist basically until Haydns Sturm und Drang period.
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?
