Keith Jarrett

Many comparisons have been made between Glenn Gould and Keith Jarrett's recordings of Bach's famous Well Tempered Clavier, and it turns out Jarrett's attempt has less artistic ego, fewer superfluous musical additions and less humming than the recording by the eccentric Canadian. The approach with this book, on a piano-forte, is evenhanded and stately. Jarrett's strong intuitive feeling for contrapuntal lines welcomes even novice listeners into Bach's intricate patterns.
