"An achievement of high order that few musicians could emulate... complete and masterful understanding."
- Stamford (CT) Advocate
"The ultimate test is Bach, and Korevaar has had the self-confidence to record both books of the Well-Tempered Clavier, CDs that ought to be in the library of every Bach lover... an ineffable sense of rightness in all the choices... an integrated and beautiful musical experience... The mood produced by the tempo [of the Prelude] is reinforced by a sinuous flow of dynamic shadings in both hands, tracing the structural and emotional implications of the rising and falling chromatic scales, moving the listener's mind along a complex path of expression that never breaks out of a narrow range of loudness and softness and that is all the more hypnotic thereby... When the fugue arrives in Korevaar's performance, all energetic assertion, the feeling is one of release from a kind of self-imposed, internal bondage, emphasized by the infinitely delicate way Korevaar underlines the Fugue's passing references to the material of the preceding Prelude... The piano tone remains lucid, warm, and blooming, its discreet array of colors perfectly correlated to the character of the themes, the interrelationship of the voices." - San Diego Reader |
