Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Après avoir démarré une immense intégrale des Sonates pour clavecin de Scarlatti, Pierre Hantaï fait un détour pour ce label inventif vers l'univers de Bach. Renouveler ainsi le Clavier bien tempéré, cette fantastique construction musicale, n'est pas donné à tout le monde. On se précipite donc pour entendre un toucher aussi fantasque et qui maîtrise à ce point le contrepoint et la polyphonie de l'écriture. Pierre Hantaï puise dans l'abstraction de ces pages pour les équilibrer entre les couleurs baroques et les fulgurantes visions contemporaines. L'instrument sonne de façon resplendissante dans les Vingt-quatre préludes et fugues qui constituent le premier recueil. Il y a chez Hantaï un mélange unique de simplicité et d'inspiration liée au chant. Bach subit en effet l'influence italienne et même ici, dans ce royaume de l'ordre et de l'abstraction, la leçon de musique devient tour à tour nuancée et passionnée, chargée souvent de panache ; on écoute ce récital sans lassitude, au hasard des tonalités ou bien dans la continuité. Peu importe. Ce jalon fera date. --Étienne Bertoli

A really exceptional artist!, July 29 2007
By Giuseppe Tulli - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bk1 Well-Tempered Clavier (Audio CD)
I completely agree with the other reviewer. I'm wondered at how fresh and original a work of such inmense complexity sounds in Hantai's interpretation. I felt as if it were the first time I was listening to it. But at the same time, it's no "naive" intepretation (as Andras Schiff's on the piano, for instance). There is seriousness and depth (c sharp minor, f minor, b flat minor), tragic grandeur (e minor), fullness (f major), bravura (c minor prelude, d minor). Every prelude and fugue feels as having its "own space" or "personality", as if unfolding from it's own key (as Bach surely intended). At the same time the whole work can be listened and grasped as a whole in one session.But I had this same impression (freshness and originality) with his (first) Golderg Variations. His Scarlatti is also superb and I rate his Frescobaldi recording as the best ever. Never since Leonhardt and Parmentier have I listened to such high level of artistry with the harpsichord (and music, in it's deepest meaning).
I apologize for being so "hyperbolic" but I absolutely recommend this, as other Hantai's recording.

fantastic version!, April 16 2005

This review is from: Bk1 Well-Tempered Clavier (Audio CD)
This is an amazing version of the well-tempered clavier by Pierre Hantai. The playing is simply fresh and sounds new compared to many other versions. Highly recommended!
