About

In Book I (1722) of his Well-Tempered Clavier, J.S. Bach set off on an unprecedented passage through all the tonalities available to him on the keyboard. Using the tuning that research suggests Bach himself advocated, Richard Egarr completes his acclaimed project with this inspired reading of Book II, in which Bach, after a decade-long genesis, revisited his ambitious scheme to produce another monumental collection.

Awards and reviews

July 2010

Egarr explores the poetic content of the music with unhurried tempos, generous punctuation and eloquently shaped phrasing...[his] rhythmic elasticity heightens Bach's conversational dimension, welcoming us to the dialogue.
4 out of 5 stars

September 2010

The C sharp minor Fugue's rounded-off phrases and breath pauses...convey a convincing, vocally-informed continuity, while sensitive accentuations and an uncommonly brisk basic tempo keep you guessing just where the barlines fall in the G sharp minor Fugue.
