Hi EJ

Have you heard Isolde Ahlgrimm's 1954 recording of The Well-Tempered Clavier?

It's my favourite by far, a wonderful dynamic and vibrant feel even though it's mono enhanced for stereo from original mono recordings.
The book I & II is contained within a Philips 10 x LP box-set along with The Art of Fuge, Preludes BWV924-943 and six Partitas BWV 825-830 ~ all musikally great fun! [i know... i don't get out enough!]

Another version of Ahlgrimm's Art of Fuge is currently available on CD, this is merely 'very good' imho.

i'm not sure if anything else of her solo cembalo Bach works is available on CD (?)

...but it really should be ; )

best regards
Debs

We certainly do Miles. See you've posted the Soulville album a few times. Is it any good?

Now for something a bit more toe-tapping.

I personally think that this is his best for sometime and I am a big Mellencamp fan.
