Well here it is, the «Holy Grail» and «Old Testament» of keyboard literature. It does not really make sense to post yet another recording of the WTC, and by an amateur who is barely scratching the surface of this priceless music. But hey, there is worse stuff on YouTube, and I am somewhat proud of these recordings from 2009-2014. While flawed in many ways, they are many times better than my first recording (from 2007-2008 I think).
I am much indebted to the good folks at Piano Society, especially to Andreas Pfaul, for their stern but honest feedback and their many useful suggestions which enabled me to do a much better job the second time round.
I know Ill want to improve on these one day, even the greats do. This music is so much better than anyone could ever play it — Bach is always ahead of you, beckoning, challenging, and leading the way. He is both a hard task master and a gentle teacher. Sheesh, I can get really religious about Bach :) No other composer does that to me. I would think myself weird if I did not know that many people feel the same.
I never took any video footage for these. My apologies for being a lazy sod and not providing imagery or sheets to go along with the music. This just seems too much work for such a large video. And anyway, one should concentrate on the music rather than watching pictures or checking notes against the score :) At least Ill provide the titles and starting times as usual. Let me know what you think!

Among the most revered virtuosos of all time, Nicolò Paganini was a true musical legend of his era, inspiring musicians such as Robert Schumann to forge his own career as a pianist. Franz Schubert was also a regular audience member at Paganini’s concerts, despite the outlandish ticket prices.
Paganini often remarked that, despite his legendary status as a violinist, he found it rather difficult to compose for the instrument. This release presents Paganinis complete violin concertos, performed by violinist Alexandre Dubach accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo.
Composer:
Nicolò Paganini
Artist:
Alexandre Dubach (violin)
Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo
