Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 Main Performer or Conductor: Gustav Leonhardt Instrumentation: Harpsichord Individual Works: 24 Preludes and Fugues, BWV 846-869 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Harmonia Mundi Catalog Number: 77011-2-RG Year Released/Recorded: 1972/73 Total Playing Time: 116:03 Comments: Jan Hanford: This performance is one of the best I've heard. Leonhardt's tempos are excellent (slower than typically), and his use of a variety of the stops on the harpsichord is delightful. I can see why his is a performance by which others are measured. Very highly recommended. Acknowledgements: From the collection of Jan Hanford.
