A Visionary Interpretation of a Baroque Masterpiece
Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of today’s most visionary pianists, presents Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2, a Double Album featuring the second book of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, a cornerstone of the piano repertoire.
Following his acclaimed interpretation of Book I, Aimard brings his signature clarity, insight, and depth to this second collection of 24 Preludes and Fugues, exploring Bach’s extraordinary harmonic and contrapuntal imagination. With a lifelong dedication to both early and contemporary music, Aimard approaches the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II not merely as a historical masterpiece but as a vibrant and endlessly inventive work. His performance highlights Bach’s ability to blend expressive lyricism with intellectual rigor, creating a deeply engaging and illuminating listening experience.
