Greetings John,
Well I suppose you want honesty. It was a very liberal and interpretive effort, however it murdered the basic principles of baroque music which one should adhere to no matter what. Firstly, the acoustics were not the greatest (which doesn't help you). The rhythm was too rubato. Bach's music does not allow for so much rubato. Also, it is the left hand in Bach's music (and most Baroque music) that gives the music drive. Your version of the Klavier pieces has no drive to it. In many fugues you play with the subject too much, and there is no following consistency. The preludes, in my opinion, are the only tolerable aspect of the recording. However, well done to learn them all, and good luck in your future playing!
