Jill Crossland (piano)

Proving that Jill Crossland "well deserves her enviable reputation as a Bach pianist", BBC Music Magazine, this superb recording of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier, colloquially known as the '48' from the two books of 24 preludes and fugues, completes her foray into one of the great landmarks of keyboard repertoire. Jill Crossland studied at Chethams School of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music with Ryszard Bakst, and in Vienna with Paul Badura-Skoda and Sally Sargent. She performed the complete Well-tempered Clavier from memory as a student in Manchester and has always been closely associated with the work.

Diana Boyle (piano)

"As a Bach player Diana Boyle is at once fastidious and a free spirit. As in her recording of the six Partitas on Integra, she is passionately concerned here to bring out the full, independentmindedness of Bach's endlessly subtle part-writing, and to this end invests her playing with an astonishing boldness of dynamic and accentual detail. Almost entirely avoiding the pedals, yet also avoiding undue dryness of texture, she re-creates these preludes and fugues - generally more extended and daring than the earlier 24 - with a clarity that can be brutally emphatic or imperturbably poised but is gripping just the same. No questions of phrasing or inflection, or even of what instrument to use, are taken for granted. Everything is newly invented, and crackling with intellectual enerty. These pieces emerge in truly towering sequence." The Sunday Times
