Description
For this recording of the first part of Bach's Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, the pianist Alexandra Sostmann has prepared intensively and discussed performance issues with professors and specialists.
Her recording on PROSPERO is a remarkably successful attempt to transfer baroque performance practice to a modern grand piano.
"...Her Bach playing is thoughtful, but not thought-heavy, measured, i.e. always finding the right measure and therefore always appropriate, always well thought out, always full of care and therefore full of natural clarity, full of tremendous composure, but always with trembling internal tension. But above all: always extremely lively, singing, sometimes taut or gently swinging, but always: compelling. 10-10-10." Klassik-Heute
