Pianist Jeffrey Middleton interprets Bach’s legendary collection of 24 preludes and fugues on BACH: THE WELL-TEMPERED CLAVIER, BOOK TWO. These pieces were written to demonstrate the use of all major and minor keys using the equal temperament tuning system. In this compilation of music from around 1742, Bach draws from his earlier work, reconsidering and refining it. The collection showcases Middleton’s sensitive virtuosity and technical ability. Performed on a Steinway Centennial Grand piano that was lovingly rebuilt by Marc Weinert, THE WELL-TEMPERED CLAVIER, BOOK TWO carries on the legacy of Bach’s timeless compositions with nuance and clarity.
