Query: How Not to Play Bach

This CD should have been called "How Not to Play Bach". Mr. Rübsam continually disrupts the natural flow of the music with overly "romanticized" hesitations, at times purposely causing the counterpoint to sound out of sync, and substituting his own rhythms which undermine the architectural unity of the music. The stuff he does with trills at times just sounds wierd. Bach infused all his music with an air of sacred contemplation (even his secular works like the inventions), so it's often easy to tell wether a performer is trying to communicate Bach's intentions or their own. Rübsam sounds as though he simply doesn't get it. At least he has good technique.
