Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier First Book

Performer

Composer

Listen

In the press

Rousset is a grounded, incontestably considered reading, exuding a quiet, unflappable authority reminiscent of Gustav Leonhardt…particularly compelling are the massive fugues in A minor and B minor, magisterial.
BBC Music Magazine, July 2016 ****

It makes a sound guide to these wonderful and varied works.
