Product Description

From Amazon.com

Schiff plays the 48 preludes and fugues on the piano, with the utmost sensitivity to voicing and the phrasing of counterpoint. He coaxes a lovely sound from his instrument (better captured in the 1985 recording of Book II than in the preceding year's takes of Book I), and the experience of following him as he explores each piece is exceptionally rewarding. --Ted Libbey

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, Aug 5 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Well Tempered Clavier - Book 1 (Audio CD)
Give me Schiff's recording anyday! Whilst I'd never argue with the technical brilliance of Gould, in my humble opinion he plays it like an exercise. Schiff plays it like it's music! You submerge yourself in it and it moves your soul. Truly inspirational.

5.0 out of 5 stars The number one performance for the Well Tempered Clavier, May 23 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Well Tempered Clavier - Book 1 (Audio CD)
My enthusiasm for classic music began when I listened the Well Tempered Clavier for the first time. I was about 19 years old and that was a still excelent recording from the Brazilian specialist in Bach, JCMartins. Over the years (I am now approaxing 60) I am still fascinated by these pieces and had listened most players. Aside for Vanda Landowska in a different instrument, for me Andras Shiff is the definitive player of these pieces in the piano.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Excellent Schiff, April 18 2004
By 
R. Albin (Ann Arbor, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Well Tempered Clavier - Book 1 (Audio CD)
This is a really lovely recording. Schiff is a superb technical pianist who presents Bach cleanly. Some have (including me) have commented on Schiff's somewhat romantic tendencies in other Bach recordings. While I think this is true of his Chopinesque playing of the Goldberg variations, I think this set of recordings is very faithful to Bach.
