Andrei Gavrilov's 1987 EMI cycle of the Bach Keyboard Concertos (played on the concert grand) generally finds this Russian firebrand on his best pianistic behavior. The engineering imparts an almost Mantovani-esque sheen to the strings of Neville Marriner's Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, with the piano a little too forward in the mix. Loud piano passages have a metallic edge that contrasts with the rounded, eloquent sound Gavrilov makes in the slow movements, into which the pianist pours every ounce of heart and soul. The use of harpsichord continuo in conjunction with a modern piano, however, is akin to having a car with a fifth wheel. It particularly proves distracting during the F minor concerto's sublime slow movement, where the simplicity of the solo piano's melodic thread is thwarted by the harpsichord's obbligato commentaries in the distance. Gavrilov's thoughtful, strongly profiled G major French Suite fills out the second disc, and gets a rosy remastering that improves upon the transfer heard in the Gavrilov anthology released in Philips' "Great Pianists of the 20th Century" series.
