Whatever you’ve read about Hurford’s Bach is true. Thinking musician, informed scholar, consummate virtuoso, his Decca cycle is magnificent. Experience a grand D minor Toccata and Fugue (the one transcribed by Busoni and Stokowski). Indulge in a brilliantly articulated G major Fantasia, BWV 572. Listen to a Toccata, Adagio and Fugue that’s weighty without being pompous. Sample the culminative, rhythmic power of an imperious D major Prelude and Fugue... [A]n artist with an inspirational sense of the epic and the visionary. Physically spectacular sound. Performance: 5 (out of 5), Sound: 5 (out of 5) -- BBC Music Magazine [reviewing Decca 436225]
