Product Description

New York Times
"Staggering technique, searching intellect and fantastical imagination"

Album Description
Pierre-Laurent Aimard's debut on DG is his first ever Bach recording as well as his first recording of Baroque repertoire

The first recording of the mystical The Art of Fugue by a world-renowned pianist since 1982

A pre-eminent performer of modern music, Aimard brings a unique and exciting approach to Bach

Aimard is a high-profile, important performer, especially given his links to many of the great contemporary composers; his first Bach recording is certain to generate much of interest in the music press

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bach Piano Recording For The Ages, 14 Aug 2008
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Those who think of Pierre-Laurent Aimard primarily as the superb interpreter of Messaien or Carter only, will be pleasantly surprised hearing his Deutsche Grammophon recording. Those of us alreadly familiar with his splendid Beethoven, Mozart and Schumann recordings for Warner Classics will not be surprised with his debut recording for Deutsche Grammophon, an utterly sublime, truly revelatory account of J. S. Bach's "Art of the Fugue". Why? In one aspect Aimard is the best current student of contemporary polyphonic music for the keyboard, and he uses that knowledge to great advantage in these performances, showing utmost respect for Bach's intentions, without trying to insert his contemporary music-informed style of performance (I strongly disagree with another reviewer who finds this recording to be excessively Romantic. Having heard many of these works performed live at Carnegie Hall by him earlier this spring, they merely confirmed another strong side of his multi-faceted musical personality as a superb performing artist with a keen interest in musical scholarship too.). Without question this is one of Aimard's finest recordings, and a brilliant start to his newly cemented partnership with Deutsche Grammophon.
