The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1: A Composer’s Approach
On this three-disc release, composer and pianist Don Freund takes Book 1 of Bach’s masterpiece and offers performance and analysis with “A Composer’s Approach,” a unique, critical eye for a series of pieces that are typically viewed through the lens of a performer. Freund’s composer-centric piano interpretations of the complete Book 1 are accompanied by a third disc, a video series of “lessons” that provide deeper insight into the master’s works and process of composition.
This is one cool slick package that includes Clavier Book 1 in its entirety…and played with passion. Wonderfully entertaining music that never gets old. Top pick.”

A valuable three-disc set for its combination of an understanding rendition of the music with discussions that will help listeners better comprehend and relate to Bach’s work.

Students and old hands at the Bach corpus should revel equally in the lectures and appreciate the performances. It’s a worthy deal no matter how you look at it. Bravo!
