JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
The Well Tempered Clavier, Book II
Craig Sheppard, piano
This 2 CD set—specially priced—is Craig Sheppard’s fifth recording for Roméo Records, and his fourth Bach release on the label. Last year saw the release of Sheppard’s Book 1 of the Well Tempered Clavier. Book 2 has been eagerly awaited by critics who reviewed the first installment and music lovers who found Book 1 so overwhelmingly enjoyable.
Craig Sheppard’s previous Bach releases on Romeo Records—Partitas,
(Romeo Records
7248/9) & Inventions/Sinfonias (Romeo
Records 7255) received widespread critical acclaim:
“There are too many delightful details to savor. Sheppard’s
Partitas leave a fresh imprint upon each rehearing, and they deserve
serious consideration…” - classicstoday
.com (Rating: 10/8)
“Sheppard’s Bach, like his Beethoven, is revelatory…a
lyrial impulse that borders on the ecstatic. Sheppard’s partitas
belong in every serious collection for what they reveal to us about
Bach and the music.” - Fanfare
“…his shining courage and conviction, however provocative,
command your attention at virtually every point.” “…infinite
variety is conveyed by Craig Sheppard in performances brimming with
zest and affection.”
- Gramophone
“Bach playing of notable artistry.”-
(Romeo Records 7248/9) International Record Review
“Bach playing of no mean stature. I was engrossed by just about
everything Sheppard does.”
“…extraordinarily compelling playing.”
- International Record Review
