Wohltemperierte Klavier / Gulda

FRIEDRICH GULDA

Friedrich Gulda recorded Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier in the yeras of 1972-1973. This was the high-and endpoint of the collaboarton between Gulda and the German "sound-sorcerer" Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer. | A Steinway Grand Imperial was brought into the MPS stuidoe specifically for Gulda's use and were placed to his exact specifications so the piano's sonority could be optimally captured. | Bach composed this cycle of works that play through all twnety-four major and minor keys in 1722. | The LP edition is on 180 gram Virgin Vinyl, produced from the origainl master tapes with no correction of sound dynamics. It also includes the original LP booklets and a new booklet with scans of the tape boxes and reissue text. | The CD set is also produced from the original master tapes with no correction of sound dynamics. It includes a high quality hot foil stamped booklet of thirty-five pages of original accompanying material (labels, booklets, and Gulda's comments) plus reissue texts. | This new release appears on the anniversary of the painist's 85th birthday.
