Bach: Art of Fugue
Date undefinedI returned this item for an exchange, since many of the pages were printed upside down, on 5/27 after following the directions for a return/replacement. It is now 7/09 and I am still waiting for a replacement. I have written twice to the dealer as well as to Amazon including one yesterday. I am tired of reviewing and would like very much for my son to to begin playing Bach. If anyone who actually reads this is in a position to make that happen!

Bach: Art of Fugue
Date undefinedI admire Aimard's playing ever since I heard him live several years back, and he never disappointed me with each of his new recordings, except this one. His playing is still excellent, but I didn't like the sound on the CD, which seems harsher than any of his previous CDs. I wonder if it's because the piano he's playing on or the overly done sound engineering during the recording. Aimard's playing is always marked by his clarity and liquid tone quality even with the most demanding passages. On this CD however, the clarity is still there but I somehow find the tone quality a little irritating to hear.
