Correct translation of "nach Italienischem Gusto"[edit]

The current translation of "Concerto nach Italienischem Gusto" is "Concerto after the Italian taste". While "nach" is usually translated as "after", this usually refers to time, eg "I'll meet you after work" is "Ich werde Dich nach der Arbeit treffen". In this case, I believe it should be "in the Italian taste" or perhaps "according to the Italian taste".

I will change the article. If this is incorrect, please update and add a comment here least the issue come around again.

Performances[edit]

Brendel recorded the Italian Concerto for Philips, not Decca. Decca only reissued the recording after In 1999, Philips Classics was absorbed into the Decca Records Group. https://www.discogs.com/master/309070-Bach-Alfred-Brendel-Concerto-Italien-BWV-971-Fantaisie-Chromatique-Et-Fugue-BWV-903 Philips Records#Compact disc era
At least the recordings by Glenn Gould and Angela Hewitt should be mentioned
There have been arrangements and orchestrations of the concerto, including Jazz ones, for example: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8617734--js-bach-goldberg-variations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf7-DER93Ww https://www.discogs.com/release/3696402-Jacques-Loussier-Trio-The-Best-Of-Play-Bach
I believe the above comment about "Concerto after the Italian taste" is correct, but not incorporated.

Also, EMI included a 1935 and 1936 (for different movements) recording by Wanda Landowska on a CD "J.S. Bach Goldberg Variations, Italian Concerto, Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue" as part of its "Great Recordings of the Century" series. 2601:188:CC80:8020:EDF3:D1D8:6498:7863 (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
