For excellent recordings of Bach's keyboard concertos, you might try Richard Egarr with the Academy of Ancient Music for a harpsichord version, and (not to be missed) Murray Perahia conducting the Academy of St. Martins-in-the-Field from the piano for a piano version. Periaha's won me over to believing these concertos can sound wonderful on a piano -- in the right hands, of course, and his hands are amazing.
Good Bach Piano Concerto in Dminor recording
I have this recording played by Glen Gould and his performance is incredible. I doubt anyone can play this piece the way he does. The only problem is that the recording is pretty bad and probably in mono. For the most part, the piano sounds muddy and lack dynamic. It sounds fine in a car stereo but a bit odd with a good two channel setup.
Anyone knows if there is a better recording for this piece?
