The Well-Tempered Clavier is generally referred to as the pianists' "Old Testament of Western music", also in Barenboim's fingers it definitely has an "Old World" condition to it. Seen in its entirety, the performance brings to mind Edwin Fischer's recording from the thirties: great pianism, frequently elegant playing, notable by means of liberal use of the pedals. This is, needless to say, planets independent of the incisive, razor-sharp resolution that Glenn Gould as well as Mehmet Okonsar brought to these works.
