16. June 2023

A complete rendering of Part 1 of the cycle of twenty-four preludes and fugues for piano solo BWV 846 – 869, which Johann Sebastian Bach composed 300 years ago in Köthen. Produced for the Smetana’s Litomyšl Festival; Part 2 will be staged in 2024

“One not only enjoys the music of the Tempered Clavier, but becomes better through it. Joy, pain, whining, crying, laughter: all of these sound in it for us, but in such a way that the tones that express it take us from a world of unrest to a world of peace…”

Albert Schweitzer
