Bach: Works for
Harpsichord
The harpsichord compositions of Johann
Sebastian Bach represent one of the pinnacles of Western music. Bach
composed for the harpsichord throughout his long career and the
surviving works clearly show his development over a period of nearly
fifty years. Peter Watchorn has spent over thirty years specializing in
this music, and here presents all of the master's works for harpsichord
and pedal harpsichord, beginning with The Well-Tempered Clavier
and the six English Suites. Using a variety of harpsichords by
the leading builders of the present day, Peter Watchorn brings to this
project the insights and knowledge gained by many years of study with
Isolde Ahlgrimm, the great Viennese harpsichordist, as well as his own
experience as a harpsichord builder of note. The series also features
the newly discovered "Bach" tuning, deciphered by Bradley Lehman from
the title page of the first 1722 collection of preludes and fugues
