I have not heard it but I have seen it on MDT and I am, at present, restraining myself....

I'd be very suprised if that recording is anything but outstanding!

I have those Hogwood versions Seán but I found them a bit odd to be honest. They are probably the only Hogwood recordings that I do not like. Imho, I think that the OAE and the Gardiner ones are far better.

Splendid Dave, thanks for that response. My decision has been made so.

The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, I can't say that I have ever come across them before now.

Perhaps not, but Mr. Koopman's pedigree is second to none...

Have a listen to some of the samples and see what you think. I like my Bach *lively* dammit, and this ticks that box beautifully!

Interesting, that you should say that as I have come across Koopman's Bach organ works in Tower, they are on the Brilliant Classics label and I wondered whether I should get a copy of the set. But I am still annoyed at the twits in Tower and I don't really feel like giving them my custom, but that's another story.
