4.0 out of 5 stars Merseyside, 9 Aug 2001

By A Customer

It's a shame Brendel has not recorded more Bach, for, as this recording shows, he has both the mental clarity and the deftness of touch that characterises some of the great modern interpreters. His Italian Concerto is wonderfully fluid, his Chromatic Fantasia thrilling and intense. Yet the real gems on the disc are the two Busoni transcriptions of Bach choral preludes for the organ. Here Brendel plays with a magical solemnity that I have yet to hear matched on any recording of these works. My only criticism (and hence only the four stars) is Brendel's tendency to 'over-pedal' to the extent that on more than one occasion the detail and finesse of his playing seem to get lost in a haze.
