Hit: 5 Stars
Distinguished phrasing, magisterial control and sensitive treatment of the score are some of the most remarkable adjectives around these notable pieces of the second book of this important set.
According the great tradition of the great pianists, Schiff has written his name with golden letters in the musical memory. His approach reveals a sharp and zealous sense of the counterpoint, the smart changes of modulation, polished tune, expressive daintiness, careful phrasing and accurate balance.
The well tempered clavier demands from the player a countless amount of requisites that Schiff owns. His playing is at the meantime, evocative and reflexive, thunderous and lyric, grandeur and ?clat, he never abuses of pedal and every little bar fits adequately into the context. Sometimes he makes remind us to Edwin Fisher in which sense of the span concerns, but his magisterial approach reveals an overwhelming accomplishment
Personally, I don' t know about any other sumptuous recording of this emblematic pages.
Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier Book II Poster
Schiff plays the 48 preludes and fugues on the piano, with the utmost sensitivity to voicing and the phrasing of counterpoint. He coaxes a lovely sound from his instrument (better captured in the 1985 recording of Book II than in the preceding year's takes of Book I), and the experience of following him as he explores each piece is exceptionally rewarding. --Ted LibbeyClassical Music CDs
