Ton Koopman WTC; was: Bach and tuning and Bob cont.

Hi Paul,

I relayed this question to the Ton Koopman website and I just got the
answer:
It says the whole recording is Werckmeister III (A=415), without adaptation.
And the information comes from the man himself.

U vroeg Ton Koopman naar zijn opname van het Wohltemperiertes Klavier. Ton
Koopman liet mij weten, dat hij voor de complete opname gespeeld heeft in
Werckmeister III (A=415) zonder aanpassing.

Hopelijk is dit zo voldoende?
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Elsbeth Gransbergen

Excellent -- thanks Kees! I suspected it was Werckmeister III since F major sounded so just. I wonder why I found D major to be so off-kilter?
