Bach: NotenBüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach

You guessed right to what I have just listened. It (CD I-22) was very beautiful. Simple as it is supposed to be, Belder does a nice job (again) with a crisp, bright sound (like glass just about to be broken); and in the choral work, Johannette Zomer (soprano) sings with a nice, rich, unpretentious voice. Too many small pieces, but still nice.

I have to say I fall for those that I used to play, tracks: 2, 5, 15, 21 (the resonance on the bass), 25 (overly tentative), 26, 28 (though I like to play it sometimes twice this speed)

Editorial Note: the instrument list under Belder, says... silly mistake for such great work otherwise:
PIETER-JAN BELDER,
harpsichord/clavichord/o
rgan
