This release contains all of Schnabel’s commercial disc recordings of the works of J. S. Bach, a composer whose keyboard music the pianist felt was too intimate for performance in the concert hall. One of Schnabel’s greatest talents was the ability to employ not only seemingly natural tempos but, more importantly, the perfect tempo relationship between sections and movements. The Prelude and Fugue from The Well-Tempered Clavier was the last recording Schnabel made before his death in 1951. Of the recording of the Toccata in C minor, BWV 911, one critic wrote upon its release, “Schnabel has rarely made a more satisfying recording than this. He refuses speed and brilliance to the opening Allegro moderato, taking it more slowly than is usual… he makes the transition to the Adagio seem inevitably right.” |

| |  | J S Bach: Keyboard Concertos
Güher & Süher Pekinel (pianos) Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Howard Griffiths “…Everything was out of the ordinary! The twin pianists Güher and Süher Pekinel play the Bach Double Concerto in C minor as one used to hear it in the good old days of Karajan. Romantically structured with powerful colours. The refinement of their touch brings their interpretation into an ascending virtuosic whirlwind. The harmony between the two pianos and the Orchestra was astonishing.” (Kronenzeitung) | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
