Bach The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 115’

Bach’s collection of Preludes and Fugues is a momentous musical landmark. There is something transcendental, elemental and profound about the cumulative effect; it is a journey not just through the key signatures but through all possible colours and moods it is possible to extract from the piano, a miraculous compositional magic box that listeners and performers return to again and again. In Angela Hewitt we have one of this music’s greatest interpreters.
