Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 & 2 / Keith Jarrett
Keith has recorded the first volume on piano and the second volume on harpsichord. Both are my favorite performances and I listen to them often. As I wrote in “Goltberg Variations”, Keith Jarrett’s Bach is very authentic. And yet, it is not boring and makes you want to listen to it over and over again. I am not the only one who thinks that this is a masterful performance on a par with Gustav Leonhardt and Masaaki Suzuki. His piano tone is beautiful, just as it is in his main profession, jazz playing. And you can sense his stoic pursuit of music. The same is true of his harpsichord play. #baroque #bach #片山俊幸
