Afternoon music: J.S. Bach | Fugue in G Major (“Gigue”) | BWV 577 | Hauptwerk (by stefanussen).

Without adding to the sampled vs. original sound discussion, I like this comment:

Technique matters only insofar as it serves producing the right sound. As long as it sounds right, one should play with toes, heels, knees, hockey sticks, or remote controlled nuclear submarines. The question is as moot as the one regarding whether one should use pedals when playing Bach on the piano, or whether to use steel or catgut strings on the violin. (Emphasis added.)

I guess one of these days there’ll be a version of Bach’s BWV 1060 a/k/a  ”Concert for any two instruments that happen to be available” for remote-controlled nuclear submarine and hockey sticks…
