Keith Jarrett - Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I
In 1987, Keith Jarrett recorded the first book of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, the first in a series of acclaimed Bach recordings he would make for ECM. A month prior to the release of the studio set, Jarrett performed the complete WTC Book I in concert, resulting in this archival live recording. When the studio album was released, Jarrett's manner surprised many listeners with its poetic restraint, a quality strikingly apparent here with the added electricity of a concert performance.
