I suppose WTC is properly in the first group, but I was playing my beloved Richter 1970 performance.  The gorgeous, aqueous, lucid, somehow Mozartian playing just did not work on a inferior setup.  I think that Bosendorfers may always have at least one leg in the second group. You are right..."Typewriter music" is most certainly not an insult.  I don't know if I could live happily without Bach, but I doubt it.

Oh, yes, the Richter’s 1970 performance of WTC will certainly do it. I agree that it is with one leg in the second group. The WTC that I am tend to listed latterly is more like pure Typewriterish – by Glen Gould. I have to admit that Gould forever broke my virginity about how Bach might sound. Regardless who I listen – Richter or Feinberg I always miss that neurasthenicly-harpsichordish pattern of Gould’s Bach. In some instance I feel that back need to be played only like this…

Anyhow, what is interesting that this harpsichordishly-typewriting play is more suitable for my current room sound then “cello work, concertos, and fugues”. BTW, yesterday WCRB broadcasted live recording of of BWV 1061A double concerto  (with no strings, just Artist Name/Performers: Peter Sykes and Mahan Esfahani played double harpsichords harpsichords) and it was very nice. So, I guess the typewriter concertos would do….
