Our Take

Roger Woodward takes us on a delightful journey through the twists and turns of J.S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book II. From the intricate melodies to the complex harmonies, Woodward's pianistic prowess shines throughout this album.

Each track on this album is like a mini masterpiece, with Woodward effortlessly blending technical precision with emotional depth. Whether you're a die-hard Bach fan or a newcomer to classical music, this album has something for everyone.

The way Woodward navigates the intricate counterpoint of tracks like "Prelude and Fugue in D Major" is nothing short of jaw-dropping. His fingers dance across the keys with such finesse, you can't help but be swept away by the sheer beauty of it all.

But it's not all serious business here. Woodward injects a sense of playfulness into his performances, particularly in tracks like "Prelude and Fugue in A Major." You can practically hear the twinkle in his eye as he skips merrily through Bach's intricate compositions.

Overall, Roger Woodward's interpretation of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book II is a triumph. It's a joy to listen to from start to finish, and a reminder of the enduring brilliance of Bach's music. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Woodward take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
