Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I


"Despite the many recordings of these masterpieces, David Korevaar's interpretation deserves to win our attention. He is not afraid of treating them pianistically, being generous in his use of the pedals, both for dynamics and a wide range of colours... Bach's musical thought and spirit come through purely and simply. Rewarding listening."
- Piano Journal

"[Korevaar] has chosen a definite expressive character for each prelude and fugue and projects it well... He understands that the individual movements depend on well-chosen shifts of mood and always makes them at appropriate times. The tiny moments of repose in the athletic G-major fugue are a wonderful surprise... I also especially enjoy Korevaar's sensitivity to register and tone color, as in the central, treble-dominated episodes of the F-minor fugue... Korevaar's performance is singing and reassuring."
