"Best Harpsichord Recording".......2005-11-05

I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.

Great.......2005-08-09

This CD is very very good just what I was looking for. I highly recommend this CD if you are planning on purchasing a Harpsicord CD, this one is the best.

a must-have for harpsichord lovers.......2004-04-30

I love the sound of this most unusual instrument, the harpsichord. Especially the fast intricately melodic songs. Very enjoyable. This "Greatest Hits" includes many compositions perfectly suited to this wonderful old predecessor to the piano. There's even a little funny trivia thrown in: on the song sheet is written: Q:"what did the famous conductor Sir Thomas say that the harpsichord sounds like? A: "Like two skeletons screwing on a hot tin roof" :)

keeno.......2001-01-08

This is a fun cd. BYRD, BULL, BACH ETC come through great Scarlatti bits sound like a flock of unhappy cows running of a field of burnt popcorn but those bits generally do unless played on the African Kalimba [or thumb piano] in Africa where I need not hear them.

This is a well engineered CD. Many featuring the harpsichord demand a level of equipment beyond that of any regular person with bills, which means this disk sounds just fine on a boom box. Everybody in the family will like some part of this disk `cept for the 13 year old whose lost to punk rock or hip hop.

The Most Superb Harpsichord Sampler.......2000-07-27

I can't imagine a better sampler of harpsichord 'hits' played by one of the great stereo-era masters. A full complement of emotions is displayed here, from the most delicate and sparing texture to the most rip-roaring martial roar. If you're wondering what the harpsichord is about, or if you're already a fan and want a great sampler to play for your own delight and amusement, you cannot go wrong with this recording.

Bring your SCUBA gear -- this is *deep*.......2001-08-21

Perhaps nothing surpasses the music of J. S. Bach in terms of being able to be enjoyed at different levels (e.g., the "sensuous," "expressive" and "sheerly musical" planes, to use Aaron Copland's terms). And probably nothing in Bach's music is deeper and richer in this regard than the Clavier-Ubung III that fills the bulk of these two discs (although the Goldberg Variations and The Art of Fugue are equally profound). I have purchased most of Kevin Bowyer's discs in this series and am pleased to report this volume is every bit up to his usual standards of excellence. This is music that truly rewards deep study so it can be fully appreciated at all levels. The liner notes are useful but all too brief. (What this music needs is a big, thick, detailed pamphlet in a box with the CD case, or a even a separate book to go with it.) Also, the writer of the liner notes is, regrettably, a good deal less informed about Christian theology than about the music of Bach, and there is some theological nonsense to be waded through. I can't wait to obtain and compare the recording of Clavier-Ubung III by Masaaki Suzuki, founder of the deservedly respected Bach Collegium Japan. I expect Suzuki's and Bowyer's renditions will make for some interesting comparisons, and Suzuki -- a devout and theologically astute Christian -- usually makes available extensive notes when he records and releases a new CD (Suzuki's *lectures* -- not to mention his performances -- in Japan are usually sold out). Only problem: as of this writing, Suzuki's rendition is not listed in Amazon's catalog; let us hope that will be rectified quickly! In any case, get this CD by Bowyer, and then make the effort to find out what's "under the hood" making this piece tick. Your efforts will be amply rewarded.

Two strong discs of Bach's organ music.......2000-06-29

I'd consider BWV 582 and 904 among Bach's "greatest hits," and the Concerto in G (after Vivaldi) is delightful; these three pieces come after 2 CDs of the third part of the Clavier-Ubung, nice little short pieces for organ. Much to discover and delight here. Again, Bowyer's playing is a revelation, despite the "unsettling rubato" detected by our reviewer above. Highly recommended.

Excellent for Piano Students.......2006-10-06

Perfectly performed versions of classic piano pieces for the advanced beginner/early intermediate piano student. Very useful and enjoyable to listen to for such piano students and pleasant enough for others.

Great listening, any time.......2006-08-25

I purchased this cd after hearing one song from it on classical radio. Because it is a cd meant to show students how to play songs, the songs are played simply, without embellishment. They are lovely. This is a great cd to play when you want to relax and just hear simple melodies played beautifully.

A must-have for piano teachers.......2002-03-15

I am a piano instructor at a large conservatory where I instruct many younger players. This disc stays in the CD player in my studio almost constantly. Nowhere else will you find such a great collection of pieces which are in the standard teaching repetoire. The playing on this disc is very clean and clear, with great attention to each and every musical detail. My students have all benefitted from this fine recoding.

My family loves it!.......1999-12-04

I can't believe no one thought of this before. A major pianist has recorded the music that my children play. Now that my they have heard Mr. Shehori's CD, my children started to play at a noticably higher standard.

Apart from the educational aspect, this CD is really a pleasure for me to listen to. I always loved these pieces (particularly Bach's Inventions and Schumann's Happy Farmer) Now I can finally hear them played by a great artist.

I do regret that Mr. Shehori didn't record more sonatinas by Clementi. I hope to see these in future Series.
