Re-starting this thread to look at available recordings. I haven't read the whole thread yet but will try to do so. Anyway, these are the ones I've chosen to listen to on YouTube. I generally favour the piano, so these are pianists. By all meanssuggest others....

No time for the Goldbergs. I'm still trying to find distinctive criteria for determining the best performance per prelude and fugue in Book I of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.

Yes - I don't listen much to the Goldbergs and the 48 is a much better work altogether. My choices for the 48 are the polar opposite of yours - nothing remotely romantic but no Gould either.
Tharaud is coming out top for me so far in the Goldbergs, but I have plenty more to listen to and both Tipo and Perahia sounded nice in the first couple of variations. No Gould, not even 1955.

No time for the Goldbergs. I'm still trying to find distinctive
criteria for determining the best performance per prelude and fugue in
Book I of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
The performances left after the second round included those by
Barenboim, Crochet, Feinberg, Feltsman, Fischer, Gould, Ishizaka,
Kempff, Nikolayeva, Ugorskaja, and Xiao-Mei. To evaluate each
performance, I followed Al Eisner's suggestion and considered several
criteria, such as technique, style, interpretation, tempo, and
recording quality.
It struck me that all these performers considered Book I to be a
cohesive work, leading to consistent interpretations. Therefore, the
larger work determines the interpretation of each prelude and fugue.
After comparing 12 preludes and fugues, I eliminated the more general
interpretations and kept the more personal ones: those by Barenboim,
Crochet, Feinberg, Gould, Fischer, and Ugorskaja.
In the end, Barenboim's performance turned out to be the most romantic
and layered, while Crochet's approach is closest to my ideal (crystal
clear and elegant). Feinberg's interpretation is as eccentric as
Gould's but even more unpredictable, and Fischer's playing is
extremely light and fast in contrast to Ugorskaja's heavy, slow, and
serious approach.

(IIRC) Konstantin Lifschitz' recording received wide praise when it was issued as he was 17 at the time. I haven't been able to find it. Have
you heard it?
