Digital Booklet

"... (a) brilliant pianist ... Aimard has clearly thought deeply about the collection's kaleidoscopic structure ..."
- The Times
"Aimard has the kind of musical brain that brings to the fugues of Bach an unfailing sense of clarity and purpose. This is music whose overwhelming humanity can be brought vivaciously to life on the piano, offering as it does a wide variety of colour, timbre and dynamic shadings."
- Sinfini Music
Following intensive study of Book I of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Berlin Institute for Advanced Studies), French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard recorded the collection for international release in 2014. A personal artistic journey, Aimard dug deep beneath the surface of one of the composer’s greatest works. This ambitious project stands as a major landmark in the development of an artist acclaimed worldwide for the imaginative eloquence and poetic insight of his music making.
