There is a presence in that look and a sensitivity that touches us. It announces a great soul, a great musician and, indeed, Edwin Fischer&apos;s well-tempered keyboard is the most poetic interpretation we have heard. The complete Well-Tempered Clavier, recorded between 1933 and 1936, was a milestone in Bach&apos;s discography as the first complete recording. Fischer&apos;s recording is admired in part because he does not use the resources of the modern instrument to artificially embellish the score. His recording of Bach&apos;s remains the model against which all pianists have measured themselves.<br><br>Johann Sebastian Bach PLAYLIST (reference recordings) : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Npa3G98Xlo&amp;list=PL3UZpQL9LIxOLRwxl1dEfDrH3c8mX5UB1&amp;t=111">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Npa3G98Xlo&amp;list=PL3UZpQL9LIxOLRwxl1dEfDrH3c8mX5UB1&amp;index=1&amp;t=111s</a>

  These old masters are quite beyond compare. What he does here - and the same goes to Feinberg&apos;s rendition - will never be equalled, let alone surpassed.

  This is such a delightful discovery for me, after years of being impressed by Gould, <br>Mr Fischer’s performance has a great balance of reverence and &nbsp;highly personal introspection, with an unforced sense of tempi with a dash of romanticism that JSB would enjoy

  His rendering of Bach finds equals, so far as I know, in Gould and Richter.

  Fischer is much under-appreciated, and his ability to coax just the right timbre as needed from the piano was unexcelled. Not even Rachmananinov, Gieseking, Hofmann, Lhévinne, or Rubinstein could match him in this regard, and that’s saying a lot. It was, in large part, his mastery over this ability that made his Bach so superior to everyone else’s, even to the present day.

  Edwin Fischer was a well known and respected pianist during the first half of the XXth century..He was a student oof Martin Krause, who was also the professor of Arrau and a symbol of the old classical German school. Fischer was respected as a Bach keyboard interpreter, as well as Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. His rendering of the WTC is impressive. It was the first integral recording of the monumental bBach work. His personality shines through the music, that is highly personal, at times fast, at times slower, with traces of romanticism. An historic recording in the strict sense of the word. A bright &nbsp;and classical score, a really referential recording. Thanks Classical Music for this jewel.

  These interpretations are beautiful. Each one really captures a unique feeling.<br>As I listened to this wonderful collection, it dawned on me why Bach used the Prelude-Fugue combination. This structure is like a form of meditation with the prelude setting the sentiment.<br>Fischer’s performance really calls this out. <br>Also, the mastering on this recording is outstanding!
