BACH The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1

Maurizio Pollini

 

Maurizio Pollini, a living legend of piano, records the benchmark repertoire of the Well-Tempered Clavier for the first time in his storied career. Thus, this album is an event – a summit meeting of masters

 

Despite having played the Well-Tempered Clavier in concert halls for more than twenty years, Pollini intensively restudied the music before consenting to record it. His humility and dedication result in a transcendent performance that is less an interpretation than a revelation

 

Hugely popular in its own right, as a Pollini project the Well-Tempered Clavier will excite critics and his fan base alike as a crown jewel of the Bach discography on any label
