Pierre-Laurent Aimard again conquers the iconic keyboard repertoire by Johann Sebastian Bach after his hugely successful The Art of Fugue recording 2008. After The Art of Fugue which sold more than 60k worldwide this is another milestone in Aimard’s DG discography.
This double album includes the entire The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 and it will certainly be welcomed by his large number of fans and reviewers.
„Aimard has clearly thought deeply about the collection’s kaleidoscopic structure, but parts of its kaleidoscope suit him better than others. Playing of dancing glee or delicate sentiment continually rubs against patches unduly dry and detached. The F sharp minor fugue is a mysterious wonder, as if the music were feeling its way in the dark; the G major prelude sparkles with gaiety.“ (Geoff Brown, The Times London)
„Clarity of texture and of part-playing are the virtues which predominate, plus a cool atmosphere. Whether or not we think of these as characteristically French, they do bring rewards in Bach, of course; and yet the impression Aimard conveys is of Book 1 as a monument, even a scholastic tract.“ (Stephen Plaistow, Gramophone)
„His Bach is resolutely head-driven - and it's curious. His preeminently ascetic use of the sustaining pedal creates clarity tinged with dryness, yet he's prone to Romantically portentous rallentandos.” (BBC Music Magazine)
