Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2
Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of today's most searching interpretive minds at the keyboard, turns to the second book of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, following his acclaimed 2014 recording of Book I. Across the 24 Preludes and Fugues, Aimard brings characteristic clarity and insight to Bach's harmonic and contrapuntal imagination, treating the collection not as a historical monument but as a living, endlessly inventive body of work that blends expressive lyricism with intellectual rigour. A long-standing champion of twentieth- and twenty-first-century music, Aimard has built an extensive and wide-ranging PENTATONE discography, including Messiaen's Catalogue d'Oiseaux (2018) and Visions de l'Amen (2022), Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata and Eroica Variations (2021), Bartók's Piano Concertos with the San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen (2023), Schubert's Ländler (2024), and Kurtág's Játékok (2025).
