Re: was E. Power Biggs good?
First post, here goes:
I like both of them at certain times.
For example, I have still not heard a better 552. And I love his work on 564, 582,and 542 his harpsichord work on the trio sonatas and 541 , and the only performances that holds a candle to his 565 is Wendy Carlos and Schweitzer.
I do hate Bigg's 540. I *really* mean I *Hate* it, and EVERYONE PLAYS IT LIKE HIM!
For Fox, I love his 540, 532, and 582, although I can take or leave his 542 and his 565.
I also hate Fox's "komm susser tod" (I don't know the number, that is how much I hate it), but I just hate that piece no matter who plays it.
Well, I have finally said it.
