My recording today. On my MS Surface mobile computer, I ran three PIANOTEQ programs simultaneously to assign a different timbre from the G. Giusti harpsichord from the Karsten collection to each keyboard.
The Giovanni Giusti harpsichord, built in 1680, is a four-octave Italian harpsichord characterized by a powerful attack, particularly useful for basso continuo playing. Its sound is very rich in harmonics.
Hello Piotr,
Thank you very much for the lovely recording of this beautiful suite by Georg Böhm. I’m always delighted to hear Baroque compositions performed on the harpsichord.
Best regards,

Good Job Piotr !
I've never heard this piece by Bohm, but it's very interesting...
I really liked the Allemande; for me, it's the beating heart of the suite. It's characterized by a dense polyphonic texture and a skillful use of suspensions that create a sense of noble resignation.
Really beautiful!
Thanks for sharing.

Pay attention to the final, third movement of this recording – the Sarabande. It's not true that the Sarabande should always be played at a snail's pace. In this case, it would sound very bad. Here, the Sarabande replaces the Gigue, which typically appears at the end of a Baroque suite.
