Album information
Prize-winning Bach specialist John Butt performs J.S. Bach's famous Das wohltemperierte Klavier for his debut solo recording on Linn.
Dunedin's first instrumental release, Six Brandenburg Concertos, saw John Butt's harpsichord solos singled out for their virtuosity and technical skill. His performance of Das wohltemperierte Klavier benefits from the highly insightful historical knowledge that has shaped his hugely successful work with Dunedin Consort.
The recording explores two aspects of Bach's collection: firstly John bases his performance on recent editions so he can present the latest possible stage of Bach's thoughts for each book; secondly John takes a unique approach to tempo and tempo relationships, which he explains fully in his comprehensive booklet note, an extended version of which is free to download here.

'Butt's performance is magisterial...'
Classical.net
IRR Outstanding: ‘John Butt's Olympian traversal is destined to be remembered…as a significant and enduring musical landmark. Be under no illusions – this is a colossal and revelatory feat, and a major addition both to the current Bach discography and to contemporary performance scholarship.’
International Record Review
Editor's Choice: 'The basics of familiar gesture are utterly unexpected but also feel instinctively right.'
Limelight
'The overall effect is exhilarating and Butt's formidable technique means that one is made very aware of the keyboard virtuosity for which Bach was known, just as much as for the compositional complexity of the fugues.'
