BACH, J.S.: Well-Tempered Clavier (The), Book 1 (Beauséjour)
Bach�s monumental collection of Preludes and Fugues in all keys explored new systems of harpsichord tuning which made such an enterprise possible. Described as the pianist�s Old Testament, complemented by the New Testament of Beethoven�s Sonatas, the Preludes and Fugues are heard here played on the harpsichord, the keyboard instrument for which they were most likely written.
