Don Satz on Levin's new WTC 2:

I heard Robert Levin perform WTC2 at the Gardner Museum a few months ago,
using the four instruments as described.  His rationale, not presented
in rigorous and dogmatic terms, was to match the music to the medium, so
majestic celebatory pieces were played on the organ, intimate ones on the
clavichord, etc.  I have to admit that I found the constant shifting betwen
instruments a bit distracting.
