Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This instructive anthology, produced in 1966, is intended to show how music from the Renaissance through the Rococo (early classical) was meant to be ornamented by performers of the time. It's both scholarly and entertaining, although somewhat outdated. When Bach's embellished harpsichord versions of concertos are compared with the originals, for example, the originals are played bare, exactly as written--something no performer of the period would have done. And frankly, you can probably learn just as much, and have more fun, by listening to Paula Robison's beautifully embellished recordings of Bach Sonatas or nearly any recording by Igor Kipnis (who does appear briefly in the set). But this set remains unique, and you'll certainly learn something from it. --Leslie Gerber
