J.S. Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2 - BWV 870-893

Released

After recharting Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier across the piano’s terrain, Keith Jarrett opts for harpsichord in Book II of Johann Sebastian Bach’s magnum opus. Jarrett handles the switch with humility, justifying it through his renditions of every dance and didactic gesture with as much attention to the score as possible. Before long, I guarantee you’ll stop thinking about “Jarrett playing Bach” and start basking in the sheer details that went into this recording. His heart is in the right place, as should ours be when listening.
