Johann Sebastian Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1

Pierre-Laurent Aimard is without question one of the greatest pianists of our time. He is considered the expert on Ligeti’s music par excellence, holds two professorships at the conservatories in Cologne and Paris, and is a regular guest at the most important festivals.

After the extremely successful recording of his debut album on DG with Bach’s “Art of Fugue”, which was already No. 1 in the classical iTunes charts on the day of its release and landed from zero to one in the classical music hit list of the American Billboard magazine a week later, the French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is now conquering Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier” and now presents the recording of the first book.
