I picked up the Esoteric LP for three music, but the design of the label was an unexpected bonus of value!

Very interesting new recording, questioning the obsession with speed in most modern performances. One has to give up any preconceptions while listening. Losito definitely has the means to project the melodic and harmonic flow at these rather slow tempi, and is living proof you can achieve a beautiful tone on a violin with minimal use of vibrato. 

My only complaint regards the harpsichord used, a copy of a 1769 Taskin model, something Bach never had used or even heard. Although it has a beautiful elegant sound, it lacks the gravity and fullness Thuringian and Saxonian instruments had.
