Wes Thompson wrote concerning Bach's Partitas: >But my absolute favorite is Joao Carlos Martins - anything but authentic >- his own personal vision, and fabulous. An excellent choice. I first heard Martins on the radio a few years ago, and I quickly was won over by his relatively "romantic" approach. He plays with such authority and purpose; the man has a plan and executes it beautifully. >If it's anything like the clavichord recordings of C.P.E.
