A fine collection...

This is a fine collection, but note that the 6 Partitas are Pinnock's original 1985 recording, and not his recent 1999 recording, Bach: Six Partitas (Pinnock).
However this collection is excellent value simply for Pinnock's lively 1980 recording of the Goldberg Variations (Pinnock), and the 1979 French Overture, 1984 Italian Concerto, and 1985 Partitas recordings are useful bonuses.

Nice Bach...

.
I obtained this set specifically for Pinnock's scintillating traversal of the Goldberg Variations (S.988), also available in out of print
Bach: Goldberg Variationen
and reissue
Bach: Goldberg-Variationen; Italienisches Konzert [Germany].
Turns out this entire set is an absolutely superb reading of three quarters of Bach's published Clavier-Übung (the fourth quarter is for organ).
These recordings were made in the early-'80s, in different locales on different instruments, yet the sound is consistently excellent, spatial, and crystal-clear. The instruments are mostly newly-built two-manual harpsichords based on classic instruments. The exception is the Belgian instrument of 1646 used for the Goldbergs.
Pinnock's technique and artistry are really outstanding, and his work is a worthy tribute to "Old Bach," holding its own with Glenn Gould.
Very satisfactory.

Great keyboard playing

This is one of the first recordings of bach that i ever bought, and i really didn't know what i was doing, but it had three cds in it so i figured it was a good deal. Yeah well I love the music. I've heard Glenn Gould, Suzuki, Gilbert, and several others I can't remember. This stands with the best of them.
