J. S. Bach The Well-Tempered Clavier Daniel Barenboim InchDas Wohltemperierte Klavier is not only the sum of everything that has preceded it, it also points the way ahead.Inch Daniel Barenboim sees Bach's encyclopaedic collection of 48 preludes and fugues, with it's dual traversal of all 24 keys, as a work of pivotal importance and epic stature. His interpretation elicited a rapturous response from Gramophone magazine InchThere is no sense of received wisdom, only a vital act of recreation that captures Bach's masterpiece in all it's first glory and magnitude; no simple-minded notions of period style or strict parameters but a moving sense of music of a timeless veracity.Inch Album Tracks 1.
