About this album
Glenn Gould’s 1965 account of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I is a landmark of 20th-century keyboard recording. His sharply articulated, intensely individual readings give the preludes and fugues a modern clarity without losing their contrapuntal weight or expressive range. The performance helped redefine how Bach could sound on piano: precise, unsentimental and brilliantly alive to inner voices and structure. For many listeners, Gould’s approach remains both provocative and authoritative, making this complete traversal one of the most influential interpretations of Baroque repertoire on record.
