Barenboim gives a quite romantic approach, away from the authentic baroque readings on harpsichord as well as piano ! The tempi were rather slow, he really took time for Bachs music. The evening was full of grandeur, had a meditative quality and had transcendent effect ! He used the possibilities that the piano offered more than the harpsichord ! His reading lasted almost 2 and a half hour ! Much more than most other versions !
By example : Schiff ( Proms 21) 1:48, Gulda 2:03, Richter 2:01, Landowska 2:12, Scott Ross 1:32 on harpsichord.
The baroque purists might not like this recording, it is not for everyone.
The recording was made in the public and came out very well !
Barenboim recorded Bach's Book 1 and 2 commercially for Warner classics, wonderful for people who like his approach.
