I must say I have to agree. I really like Huggett and I rejoiced when
she released her view of the work. But what a disappointment. I struggle
to come to the same conclusion of some of the reviewers of the time who
lavished praise on her. I haven't heard Lucy van Dael, and it sounds like
I should probably give her a go myself. My favourite period instrument
version of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas comes from Sigiswald Kuijken,
which I strongly recommend.
