 Review: French Suites by Thurston Dart
Dart's reading of the French suites is quite a masterpiece.
Obviously Dart wanted the performance of each suite to be experienced as a unified piece, not just a collection of short movements.
Dart may have wanted each Suite to be experienced as a unified work, but the disc buyer fortunately still controls that matter.

 7a - Title
Dart does not discuss the hands, simply assuming they both belonged to Herbert, despite the fact that the inscription on the front flyleaf and all Herbert's pieces were undoubtedly written by Scribe B, as is the first piece in the book.
Dart gives very plausible reasons for the book having been started in 1624, but his similarly plausible account of its composition has been convincingly dismissed by Price, so his date of inception may not be as unassailable as if first appears.
Dart may have been correct in suggesting that it was a copy of a loose-leaf collection, gathered over some years prior to copying.

These recordings of Thurston Dart, certainly one of the most important musicologists of his generation, are an invaluable document of our view of old music and performance practice in the decade after World War II.
Dart approaches the French Suites with a keen sense of the delicacy and intimacy of the clavichord in mind.

Thurston Dart (1921-1971) was one of the liveliest characters on the post-war English music scene.
Dart’s playing, he writes, "has a rhythmic zest about it (largely due to properly articulated phrasing) that makes even the less interesting pieces enjoyable to listen to." Quite so.
It is the contrasting sound of the various instruments themselves which is fascinating: even in Dart’s expert hands, the recital would have been much less interesting had he restricted himself to one organ only.

It is notable for the energy of the performance (not current at the time of recording but frequent nowadays in performances on original instruments) and the attention to historical detail by Thurston Dart.
Also Dart solves the problem of the missing movement and two chords in concerto 3 by interpolating the slow movement of a G major Violin Sonata BWV1021.
Also notable is the Dart playing of the harpsichord cadenza in No. 5.

One of London's Great Events during the early 1960s was the "Thomas Goff Circus" held each year at the Royal Festival Hall.
Four Goff harpsichords were lined up on the stage, with harpsichordists Thurston Dart, George Malcolm, Valda Aveling, Geoffrey Parsons and Simon Preston variously taking part.
The harpsichordists had enormous fun, bobbing and nodding between themselves while orchestra and conductor struggled to keep pace with them.

 Wunderkammer Trio
Michael Nyman was born in London on 23 March, 1944 and his musical education was at the Royal Academy of Music (where he studied composition under Alan Bush) and King's College.
At the latter Thurston Dart was Nyman's professor from 1961 to 1965.
Dart, a renowned scholar of the Baroque, was to have a formative and lasting impact on his student's approach both to his composing techniques and his use of source material (it was Dart who inspired Nyman to visit Romania, collecting folk songs that he would eventually use many years later).

Kipnis was admittedly well-versed in one of the early lessons of the baroque revival -- that repeats were varied -- but his decorations now sound rather contrived.
One cannot help comparing this disc with the recordings of Thurston Dart, made on 'unhistorical' instruments in the same decade, and limited by the same perspectives, but which have worn much better.
Of these excellent musicians and virtuosi of the keyboard, Dart had the deeper scholarly insight.
