Quite Breathtaking David Korevaar plays Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier - admired by HOWARD SMITH '... lots to admire ...'

David Korevaar's forthright, if somewhat businesslike account of the Well-Tempered Clavier has much to recommend it. However, to make Korevaar one's choice, the listener must accept from the outset that this MSR recording is periodically awash in a sea of resonance.

In some preludes and fugues the opulence is less apparent and not overly distracting. In others I found myself drowning in the aural surf.

Korevaar's performance is shaped with scrupulous discipline and in recurring instances he displays a beauty of line which is quite breathtaking...
