One of the best interpretations of Stokowski's mid-19th-century view of Bach yet recorded. Up to the intro to the fugue's final episode, one of the most faithfully Baroque renditions ever upheld by a top flight professional orchestra, especially those fabulous Philadelphians. Alas, the molto rallentando to the final episode and the close of the final episode itself were exaggerations even of Stokowski's hyper-theatrical treatment of the grandly solemn closing resolution of the fugue's progression from solo voice to full ensemble. Yannick Nezet-Seguin needs to stick to the consistently less exaggerated treatments both the Baroque and even Stokowski's imitation-Mussorgsky closing reminiscent of Boris Gudunov have to offer, neither of which sacrifice either grandeur or solemnity to cheap melodramatic effect. Continued Best of Good Fortune in further elevating this classic gem to its proper place in music that needs no overdoing to reach its audience's hearts and souls.
