Johann Sebastian Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II, Sir András Schiff
Johann Sebastian Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II, Sir András Schiff is one of the most talked-about Music movies released in 2018, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Distinguished Bach specialist Sir András Schiff returned to the BBC Proms in 2018 to present Book II of The Well-Tempered Clavier. Bach's effortless brilliance and new-found sonorities push harmony and counterpoint further than ever with a combination of ancient and modern styles, church austerity and galant lightness. Schiff has said that no-one combines the sacred and the secular as Bach does, and this is comprehensively demonstrated in Bach's fascinating and challenging sequence. This performance in the Royal Albert Hall was described as a musical meditation for our troubled times by the Independent.
