Pierre-Laurent Aimard: Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Delving into the wonders of Bach in every key, piano legend Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs the second book of the 48 Preludes and Fugues.
Bach’s endlessly imaginative powers and the magic of his interweaving counterpoint make his Preludes and Fugues for solo keyboard a musical journey without comparison.
Pierre-Laurent Aimard, a pianist long renowned for his magisterial technique and penetrating intellect, today turns his attention to the complete second book of ‘The 48’.
These 24 pieces proceed through every key in Western music’s tonal system, drawing out the individual character of each one, a quality that gives the entire cycle its name The Well-Tempered Clavier.
From the radiant C major opening to the searching, inward beauty of B flat minor, Bach seems to leave no musical stone unturned.
Reviews
