Don't Waste your money

"I was attracted to this album because it sounded good when listening to the sound samples at amazon.com, however in this case I was disappointed with the actual CD.The strings are played too legato in general on the entire CD set making the melodic line less clear and precise. The tempi are taken quickly, yet instead of sounding like an exciting performance, the whole thing just feels rushed. During the third movement of the transcription of the Bach brandenburg concerto on Disc 1, there is a section where it sounds like the disc is skipping because it's hard to follow the keyboard line, but it's not - it's the keyboard player!The second disc that contains the concertos for 2,3,4 keyboards is slightly better, though there's still that extra-legato string section. Unfortunately, this is the only recording of the BWV 1062 concerto for 3 keyboards played on the piano that I know about, and it's adequate, though not stellar.The recording lacks bass, but otherwise sounds good for an AAD."
