JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

Trevor Pinnock, one of Early Music’s great visionaries, is to release his first ever recording of Book I of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. Backed by a videoblog giving insights into not only his interpretation of this masterwork with its variety of moods and colours, lightness and weight, he also highlights of his recordings for Deutsche Grammophon over the years, including his celebrated recordings of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos and Handel’s Messiah. Throughout his interpretations Pinnock remains true to his core principles: favouring musicality and inspiration above musical orthodoxy. Achieving an exceptional reputation as a conductor, chamber musician and harpsichordist he has received enthusiastic critical acclaim.
