WOHLTEMPERIRTES CLAVIER
-the timeless-piano-project-One of the greatest and most important works for piano, played by one of the most important pianists of our time: exactly 10 years after the first volume of the "Well-Tempered Clavier", Pierre-Laurent Aimard performed the second volume of Johann Sebastian Bach's masterpiece at the Helmut List Halle in Graz as part of the Styriarte.
For an ordinary instrument of modern construction, this is actually almost impossible to fulfil:
The tonal demands that Pierre-Laurent Aimard placed on the "615313" this time were complex and almost impossible for an ordinary modern instrument to fulfil: The richness of overtones in every single note and the perfect harmony of the sounds across the entire spectrum of this ingenious composition were the basic prerequisites for the indescribable sound experience offered to the spellbound audience during the two-hour concert.
The "615313" and its richness of overtones in every single note and the perfect harmony of sounds across the entire spectrum of this ingenious composition...
And it often seemed as if the pianist was playing a harpsichord or other keyboard instrument from an era long before the modern concert grand piano was invented. And the audience seemed to be transported back to a time when the highest art of composition, boundless imagination and the universal creative power of a genius were united in perfect symbiosis. Magnificent!
