The music is lovingly performed, although on occasion the playing seems mannered and calls attention to the "authentic" performance style rather than to the music. The reconstructions are not, in my view, quite as successful as the three fully-Bachian Acknowledgements: Thank you to the following for submitting this recording and for your comments: Thomas Hubeart Date First Submitted: 06/15/1997 Purchasing: Suggested Purchasing Sources Note: Inclusion in this database does not guarantee the availability of any recording.
