Product Description

Analysing over 100 recordings from 1945-1975, this book examines 20th-century baroque performance practice as evinced in all the commercially available recordings of J.S. Bach's "Passions", "Brandenburg Concertos" and "Goldberg Variations". Dorottya Fabian presents a qualitative, style-orientated history of the early music movement in its formative years through a comparison of the performance style heard in these recordings with the scholarly literature on Bach performance practice. Issues explored in the book include the availability of resources, balance, tempo, dynamics, ornamentation, rhythm and articulation.
