## Bach's Masterpiece
Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest musical thinker of his era, created *The Well-Tempered Clavier*, hailed as the ‘Old Testament of music’ by Hans von Bülow. This keyboard work is one of the most significant ever. Each of its 24 preludes and fugues has a unique mood, and Bach's blend of technical precision and expressive freedom has made it a cornerstone of Western culture for centuries.
## Schiff's Brilliance
Sir András Schiff, one of today's finest Bach interpreters, delivered a remarkable performance of *The Well-Tempered Clavier* Book 1 at the prestigious BBC Proms. Gramophone praised his recordings, and when he announced his 2017 BBC Proms performance of Book 1 in a late-night, uninterrupted concert, it generated huge interest.
## The Recorded Concert
Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on 7 September 2017 to BBC's high standards, the concert captured Schiff's nuances in HD. The press raved about it:
- Aaron Davies of bachtrack.com said Schiff is the standard bearer for Bach's keyboard works, perhaps the best since Glenn Gould.
