Several years ago, after a good deal of comparative listening and somewhat to my surprise, I settled on the Guarneri (RCA), now o.o.p. OTOH, the last time I looked, their early, middle and late LP sets can be found on Amazon at modest prices; CDs, I dunno. Their later Beethoven traversal on Phillips I haven't heard.

Thanks Larry. I'm currently sampling Prazak, I initially wrote them off after just hearing selected movements, but I think they warrant more listening now.

Ensemble Zefiro / Alfredo Bernardini - JS Bach, The Brandenburg Concertos. I like it, quite different to any other version I have heard.

Different in what way?

Listened to the beginning of Concerto 5 -- awfully fast. My wife said, "Give them the yellow flag."

Got a box with ten bargain priced CDs from JPC today, all early music. This is the first I opened:

I have other recordings of these pieces, but Mme Dévérité plays very well and the sound is great.

The same label aka Arion offers a reissue of the excellent Elisabeth Tramier DÀnglebert performances (originally released on Verany) ....

via JPC for EURO 3.99 ....

Bet I have more harpsichord CDs on my shelves than you do? :g 

I bought the Tramier disc long ago.

I'm no match for sure (although have the Tramier Verany too 😎) .... my hint was meant for other forum members to take their chances on this one bargain reissue ....

Number 3 at the moment. I was introduced to these recordings in a "music appreciation class" at the University of Iowa by Eldon Obrecht and they remain as favorites.

Obrecht brought Gunther Schuller to our class and later regaled me with stories of Art Tatum on 52nd St. I owe him a lot. 

 

wow...I had a high school math teacher who go go there with math, but if there were any music faculty who could do that, I didn't have them. Quite possibly my fault, but still...people like this are our true heroes.

and he had a radio show too!!!!!

He invited me to his office to play some records and I chose Sonny's "Blue Seven". This opened all kinds of things to discuss. I will never forget it.
