Bach: The Well-tempered Clavier

Prize-winning Bach specialist John Butt performs Das wohltemperierte Klavier, his first solo recording for Linn. Bach's seminal Well-Tempered Clavier is a work whose influence on composition and performance, as well as keyboard technique, remains as strong today as ever. This new performance has all of the insightful scholarship and musical excellence we have come to expect from Butt's feted recordings with his Dunedin Consort.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
