In every other performance and in every other way, this is one of the great Bach recitals. Only his transcription of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is less than supreme, and that is only because here he is up against Dinu Lipatti's sublime performance. There are depths and heights in Kempff's playing that are more religious than musical, and a profundity of interpretation that is beyond the mundane and partakes of the celestial. All of the qualities Kempff brings to his other Bach performances are here, too, but infused with an emotional intimacy and a spiritual grandeur elevating them as prayer is above poetry. But the heart of the recital is Kempff's performance of his transcriptions. All of these other performances are intelligently interpreted and well played despite Kempff's 80 years. heres the sheet music i searched over the net and found it on some torrent site.

One has to go back to Wilhelm Kempff's magisterial 1975 recording transcriptions that he himself created to get good Bach back on the piano. One has to reach further back than that to get good Bach. In the past 20 years, there have been only two recordings of Bach chorale preludes: Murray Perahia's oh-so-sensitive performance and Paul Jacobs' just-the-facts performance. Unfortunately, such things are now virtually forbidden by the authentic instrument law that does not permit Bach to be played on the piano, no matter how sensitively. There are few more sublime manifestations of the numinous in the mundane than Bach chorale prelude transcriptions sensitively played on the piano.
