as a young pianist, andras schiff earned wide esteem for his 1980s recordings of the major keyboard works of j.s. bach; in recent years, as part of his long-term relationship with ecm, he has gone back to bach as a sage veteran, earning more acclaim for his new series recordings of the 'goldberg variations' (2001) and the 'six partitas' (2007). in august 2011, schiff turned his focus to the 48 preludes and fugues of the well-tempered clavier, making studio recordings of both books in the auditorium radiosvizzera italiana, lugano. an iconic inspiration for composers from mozart and beethoven to chopin and brahms and beyond, the well-tempered clavier has long been considered the old testament of the keyboard literature (with beethoven's piano sonatas as the new testament).
