I admit that I really enjoy playing Bach simply because it’s hugely pleasurable to play despite the challenge. Also, J.S.Bach himself transcribed many of his pieces to fit different instruments, and with careful research I find many of the keyboard sonatas, french suites and english suites beautifully playable!
Just tossing in my two cents… 🙂

I’ve always played the Zingel version, and 99% harpists I know (I’m based in Germany) and – unless I’m mistaken – the lovely ladies that play in Bayreuth also play the Zingel edition. (Bayreuth = Wagner) 😉 Here in Germany it’s also the most common version to be played at an audition (if they want to hear the whole bit – but what’s expected at auditions is a whole other slice of cake!) I find the Zingel very well playable, and once you’re sitting in an orchestra it’s not nearly as scary as one might think! 🙂
