Description:

Andrzejewskis Distinctive and Creative Approach to Bachs Well-Tempered ClavierPiotr Anderszewski takes a distinctive and creative approach to Bachs Well-Tempered Clavier. Rather than recording all 48 preludes and fugues, he focuses on 12 pairings from Book II.I decided to organize the works into a sequence based on my own subjective choicessometimes based on significant relationships, and sometimes on contrasts. The idea behind this specific order is to create a sense of drama that suggests a cycle. The 12 characters converse with one another and mirror each other, says Anderszewski.By making full use of the modern pianos capabilities, Anderzewski actively distinguishes the character of each piece. The soft tones, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil; the dramatic intensity at brisk tempos that heightens the musical tension; and the sounds that rise gentlyall are indescribably beautiful. T
