Master harpsichord builder and player Colin Booth performs the “go to” recording of Bach’s great keyboard masterpiece.
Press quotes about this CD:
‘I would urge anyone to buy this… there are so many things to be learned here, from the playing, as well as from the superb notes.’ Andrew McGregor – BBC Radio 3 Record Review
‘A recording with which to live … in my opinion, this should be the "go to" recording of the 48.’ Richard Turbet – The Consort
‘It’s impossible not to remain fully engaged through each and every work in this breathtakingly beautiful recording. Booth’s recording is as near perfect as would seem possible - the harpsichord’s voice has a wonderful clarity and fullness, the recording is crystal clear, and the performance exquisite and completely absorbing.’ Carolyn Winter – Capriccio Baroque
‘As he did with Book 1 (M/A 2019), Booth produces a stimulating performance on a harpsichord he designed and built. Along with his booklet essay, his work is a master class presenting new ideas about rhythmic profiles, tempo, and ornamentation. … Booth is a world-class player.’ Bradley Lehmann – American Record Guide
