I agree that piano in Baroque music is ghastly and just plain WRONG. There are several recordings of this piece with musicians playing on Baroque violins and harpsichords – in my opinion, the only way to hear these works properly the way Bach would have intended. These include: Rachel Podger (violin) and Trevor Pinnock (harpsichord) – on Channel Classics and Andrew Manze (violin), Richard Egarr (harpsichord) and Jaap ter Linden (viola da gamba continuo) – on Harmonia Mundi Both these wonderful recordings are easily and resonably available from Amazon and other similar outlets. There is also a version on YouTube (link below) on modern violin and harpsichord which isn’t too bad.
