The Well-Tempered Clavier is a collection of two sets of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, composed for solo keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The Well-Tempered Clavier is a collection of educational pieces with exceptionally high artistic contents. From all the works written in the Baroque era, no other work has been so well-cherished, frequently performed and thoroughly studied than this work of Bach's — which, incidentally, can still be heard in music education today.
Though the Well-Tempered Clavier (hereafter WTC) was not published during Bach's lifetime, many manuscript copies were made by his pupils and copies spread steadily all over Europe with his fame. Influential musicians such as Mozart and Beethoven received manuscripts and as everyone knows, these composers in turn influenced the direction of the Western music. The WTC was finally published 51 years after the composer's death, which marked the culmination of the strenuous efforts made by his son and pupils.
In the German of Bach's time Clavier (keyboard) was a generic name indicating a variety of keyboard instruments, most typically a harpsichord or clavichord - but not excluding an organ either.
The collection is generally regarded as being among the most important works in the history of Western classical music.
Australian pianist Albert Landa has, as he has described it, “climbed Mt Everest”.
“I’d learned a few of these pieces as a child”, he said, “but back then Bach was thought of as dry, dusty and scholarly, but with increasing maturity I came to realise just how alive and filled with creativity and humanity these works are. So I was attracted by the challenge of learning all 48 and this coincided with my withdrawal, Glenn-Gould-like, from performing in concerts, so I turned my attention to recording them instead.”
Collected in a 4 CD set, the over 4 hours of music was recorded on a Steinway Model B at a private Sydney home. As with any recordings of Bach by pianists, it is a highly personal statement, full of the performer’s own insight into the remarkable ourvre. Putting aside the acoustic qualities that are somewhat different to the clinical studio sound, the use of expressive devices, judicious use of pedal, this complete recorded set has much to offer any student, teacher or music lover. Landa brings to life what for some may still be dusty and scholarly works. He infuses character and searches his own soul for the right artistic response from this great Baroque master.
