Steven Schwartz compares Bach on the piano vs. harpsichord:

>One man's meat.  I, on the other hand, have never heard a harpsichord
>performance of Bach's solo keyboard music that has satisfied me as much as
>the readings of any number of pianists.

Surely you are familiar with Kenneth Gilbert's Bach? I don't particularly
care for the harpsichord either, but I find Gilbert's choice of instrument,
(and the Archiv recordings), very gratifying.
