have you bought a little bust of Vanhal to sit on the mantlepiece, yet?
LOL!!!
No Jared, the only concession to overt hero worship that I indulge in is to have a portrait of JS Bach as my desktop wallpaper on my PC.
Finishing off my Vanhal listening with the final CD of his music in my collection; CD 4 from this set....
....ebulliently played by the wonderful Concerto Koln!

I must say that if it HAS to be Bach on the piano I much prefer András Schiff.fergus wrote:Jared wrote:....not everyone likes Hewitt's playing, her critics say she is precise but cold and lacking in feeling at times, but I like her in Bach a lot.fergus wrote:The English Suites have some lovely music included in them; very pleasant and easy on the ear.
I agree Jared in that, although I do not own her playing any Bach and that I prefer Bach played on harpsichord, Hewitt does have some kind of affinity with the music of Bach. I have heard recordings of her playing Bach's music and I think that she is very good with it.

I LOVE Schiff and let's not forget the wonderful Murray Perahia, Perahia's performances on the keyboard concertos are superb.Jose Echenique wrote:I must say that if it HAS to be Bach on the piano I much prefer András Schiff.fergus wrote:Jared wrote:
