I have that very album plus a few others by them on Hyperion. Many good ensembles on that label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial impressions: It sounded like "old-school" (as in mid-20th c.) Bach. Romanticized and rhapsodic, rather than architectural. Not at all HIP -- but I enjoyed it. What are your thoughts on Pires' Bach? Thnx .... my impressions similar to yours aka quite good, but due to stiff competition nothing to shout from the rooftops ....

Or did you buy it and not like it? ... a little underwhelmed by the music (i listened to, Nos. 4,5), didn't bought it. The fourth symphony doesn't sound coherent to me. Just my opinion. I don't want to end up with an enormous collection for no reason. It's easy to drown in his own pretensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
