I think that one of the reasons that I generally don't like Bach on
piano (other than your stated reason) is that Bach had such fantastic
control of things that the "tinkle" shows the precision of the work,
whereas piano, with its inherent resonance and rich overtone structure
makes it sound "sloppy" to me. Of course, some of that is brought on by
the players as much as by the instrument. Bach a la Chopin isn't my bag
:-)


Bach was a genius.
Karl Richter, nor Glenn Gould could destroy the beauty of his
compositions.

I agree.

Nicolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt, just to name a few very
famous Bach performers, showed us the way how to do it.

Again, I agree. I'm currently collecting the cantatas conducted by them
for Telefunken (LP).
