    I first listened to the horrible intonation in the first movement cadenza, and thought he had lost it at 73. Then I heard how out of tune his violin while tuning before the second movement (he played on open gut strings). Amazing that most of the first movement was in tune... true talent to do that

    Thibaut had been a great artist, especially in the trio with Cortot and Casals. And though I much admire great wrong-note artists like Schnabel, Cortot, and post-1945 Szigeti, Thibaud's performance does not have the depth of conception that those artists (and very late Casals) brought to the table that made their technical vagaries relatively inconsequential. Listening to thus performance was saddening. Deleting it would be respectful to Thibaud's legacy.

    I`ve never heard this piece in that way. So gloomy, so sad. An inner world, that great Furtwägler unfolds towards us. Even sadness about the war, the situation of his beloved fatherland? Who knows? There are comments of him, hints, in the very last years, in writings and speeches, that he had the feeling that Germany and Europe are going to be destroyed, and the bond with the tradition, with art as a whole, is being torn on purpose.

    This is way too heavy, the cadenza way too slow. I have tried my best to appreciate this rendition but every time it fails. With such a tempo the character of the cadenza is completely distorted. As for the style he played in a too manneristic way, and the bass notes near the cadenza's end sound like hiccups of an old man -- I give it to the bad recording for that, to be fair. I am not a purist, I appreciate many Bach interpretations of old masters' -- Furtwaengler's 1930 recording of the Brandenburg 3 is magical, he reinvented the structure and exploited the rhythmic diversity of the first movement like no one else has done. But this recording lacks that creativity. It lacks the flair that you can feel in Cortot's EMI recording.

    Es ist ja vollkommen legitim diese Ansicht zu vertreten und wahrscheinlich historisch durchaus korrekt. Furtwänglers gesamtes Musizieren hier aber implizit als nationalsozialistisch geprägt und größenwahnsinnig abzutun und generell auf derart primitive Kategorisierungen zurückzugreifen, ist schlichtweg ärmlich, geschmacklos, klitternd und grundsätzlich vollkommen verfehlt. Dass diesem großen Künstler selbst 70 Jahre nach seinem Ableben weiterhin ungerechtfertigterweise das Nazi-Stigma aufgeprägt werden soll, ist wirklich kaum zu fassen.

    A very fine comment, that is the sad truth. It is horrible the way they played before the "early music" revolution, but they rebelled only to become a new dogma on how to play that music (a bit like the pigs in Orwell's farm), that is resistant to further examination, with certain players revered as gods... So all in all, we have to be grateful that we can now listen to this music at least with somewhat the right colors, still there is a lot that remains to be done, and with the bunch of thick-skulls that are now the establishment of "early music", any change will be much resisted.

A culture of dancers as was that of Bach, in which people felt the rhythm very deeply, had been destroyed.

But one thing is undeniable, the right instruments create the right harmonics, for which the music was composed, and you can ONLY understand it fully if you do so. I have played Bach on piano and harpsichord, and I can tell you, Bach sounds so dull on the piano, all the harmonics are missing, and dissonances sound far less poignant. The amazing thing about Bach's music is that it is still great even badly played on bad instruments, so if you want the watered-down version of his music, where dissonances don't sound even half as powerful, feel free to keep on listening to that...

At 12.02, the demisemiquavers is like semiquavers. But suddently, at 12.42, he play the rest of the cadenza closer to the pace from the beginning of the cadenza.
