Message-ID: <1759@rabbit.UUCP> Date: Thu, 4-Aug-83 16:20:20 EDT Article-I.D.: rabbit.1759 Posted: Thu Aug 4 16:20:20 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 4-Aug-83 19:23:01 EDT Organization: Bell Labs, Murray Hill Lines: 12 The Smithsonian Institution offers, among other things, recordings of music played on various instruments from their collection. Among these is a recording of Bach's harpsichord partitas, played by James Weaver, that is a gem. The sound of the recording, the sound of the instrument itself, and the quality of the playing are all excellent. I highly recommend it. It is available either by itself (3 LPs, #3008), or as part of a larger set that also includes the Brandenburg Concerti and assorted violin and viola da gamba sonatas (9 LPs, #9007). The catalog they sent me says you can call them at 800-228-5454.
