About
With the two books of The Well-Tempered Clavier, Johann Sebastian Bach left posterity one of the most dazzling masterpieces in the history of music. Formal rigour and musical emotion meet in perfect communion.
Following several outstanding recordings of other works by Bach, Andreas Staier invites us to climb this Everest once again, but starting, as it were, with the north face, the second book, and revealing its poetry, its sensibility and its daunting architecture with the utmost naturalness.

Staier here plays a 2004 copy of a 1734 two-manual instrument made by Hieronymus Albrecht Hass. On this aural evidence, it’s a wonderfully versatile Rolls Royce of a harpsichord, offering a kaleidoscope of colours, stops and registers that the German pianist and harpsichordist exploits to great effect.
