Message to Gary Shaw: Finally bought this US copy from amazon marketplace.
My admiration for Bleu grows with every purchase. I missed him when he had a short tour here last year, but will keep looking for any shows this year.
Tracks from the album can be heard here http://www.bleutopia.com/music/ along with other music Bleu has created.

I don't have the 'glasses' album. IMO his best so far is, 'We Built A Fire'

Dean...
Thanks, Stefan.

When Arrau's final sessions were cut short by his passing away, he left various unfinished recording projects. He had planned to record all of Bach's partitas and follow that with more, but left just four partitas. They are played relatively slowly and with enormous impact - this is the best Bach on modern piano I have ever heard! Highly recommended.

Thanks EJ for review. This will have to go on my wish list now. I've always liked Arrau and actually was recently contemplating the latest EMI 12cd set called "Virtuoso Philosopher of the Piano [Box Set]".
In the meantime, and inspired by your post, I decided to pull this old recording (recorded over 30 years ago and a little more than a decade before "The Final Sessions") which about 20 years ago when I bought it, I remember spending a lot of time with.
For those interested, the score in the background is a few bars in from the beginning of the 1st Prelude from Book II (...Brouillards). This must have been Arrau's own score as you can see some of his markings. I just wish I could make out some of those fingerings!

Hi Droo,
I really need to have a sample listen before buying...
Much of Harmonia mundi’s Art of the Violin set is Andre Manze on violin accompanied by Richard Egarr on harpsichord who incidentally, is the guy who recently got some rave reviews on this forum with his direction with the Academy of Ancient Music - Brandenburg Concertos (performed at French Baroque pitch).
So Richard Egarr maybe a very fine conductor ~ but a couple a months ago I purchased his version of WTC vol.1 on harpsichord which I found to be a very mechanical cold effort such was his un-stimulating style of play. The quality in the reverberating recording hall left a heck of a lot to be desired too, needless to say I’m not lusting after the vol.2 set. So my deliberate side-stepping the Art of Violin set is based upon my disappointment of Egarr on WTC Harpsichord although perhaps I shouldn’t judge an artist too harshly on hearing one seemingly duff performance and would be grateful if you could allay my fears in confirming how good the Manze set is please : )
Or if it isn’t good please feel free to give it a good slagging off! ; )
