Piotr Anderszewski – J.S. Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2: Prelude and Fugue No. 12 in F Minor

As David Allen of The New York Times wrote, "Piotr Anderszewski might be the most convincingly unconventional Bach pianist since Glenn Gould, and he has certainly taken a creative approach to his first, mesmerizing recording of preludes and fugues from 'The Well-Tempered Clavier.' ... This is one of the great Bach recordings, period."

So clean and so much understanding - so integrated - loved the ornamentation on repeats

[kaibartak]

No challenging this beautifully balanced, intellligent mastery, the love and understanding of JS Bach's brilliance is touching, . Thanks, maestro! ( I keep on trying, I must, after hearing your version, Bach forever, everywhere
)

[LouisYungling]

Wow! I have never heard the repeats ornamented the way you do and my heart just soared!! Thank you. I could hear every single note with clarity and beauty. You made this piece new to me! Thank you. Thank you.

Where does this warmth come from when I listen to music like this? It comes from my soul embracing the spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach....

[술톤윤돼지탄핵]

Simply can't stop listening.. Such beauty and depth.. 🌷

[michieldpiano]

Exceptional. Piotr breathes music, understands the essence and projects his soul to all listeners.

[daniloberaldo]

Extremely well played! I guess that is one of the best performances in all the history of this prelude and fugue!

[philippenobili]

I always was and still am, a great admirer of Glenn Gould. But Piotr Anderszewski has definitely opened for me a different way to listen to Bach's piano pieces. Everything in this is unique, the phrasing, the sound, the touch. May he be praised for these miraculous interpretations, in mankind I trust :-) ...

[amydastur]

Beautiful restrained legato style and delicious ornamentation in the repeats, also with clarity in the parts - especially the inner voices in the prelude.

[randomuser]

The only good thing about my day today, very much appreciated.

[francodaquanno]

Più che con le mani, suona col cuore e l'anima...

[herrietako]

I thought that I would never find anyone like Glen Gould that breith, beats, bounce the beats as him but you do, with more delicate touch, no so agressive and excited as Mr Glenn but in your more relax version you have also Glenn´s Soul, so big thanks for your performance, it makes me enormously happy :)

[ΑγάπηΑθανασάκη]

So good, so corect!!! 💗 SO beautiful... So
