Following up his critically acclaimed recording of Book 2, Christophe Rousset completes Bach's masterpiece of preludes and fugues with The Well-tempered Clavier Book 1. With modesty and rigor, he gives a very rich, varied interpretation of this universal monument of art, revealing its secrets to us in a highly informative introductory text. Performed on the magnificent Ruckers harpsichord at the Chateau of Versailles, Nicolas Bartholomée's recording ideally reproduces the full flavor of this miraculous instrument.
