J.S. Bach - WTK II

In times of upheaval, change, uncertainty and a decline in values,
of lies and disorientation, it is always helpful to return to the basis,
the nature of things, and to one's own history.
In the case of the Western musical tradition,
this is the art of Johann Sebastian Bach, who - like nature itself -
creates compositions with the greatest freedom and virtuosity using very few resources, which are perfect on all levels of music
(melody, harmony, timing, form, emotion).
My interpretation of the second book of the
'Well-Tempered Clavier' (rarely performed in its entirety)
does not use a sustaining pedal; it is characterized by
the strictest articulation and motivic characterisation,
clearly drawn architecture and polyphony,
but at the same time by freedom at all levels of interpretation.
The result is a 'new' Bach - completely uninfluenced by other interpretations of this masterpiece.
