“Time and again you are left to admire the way he never burdens Bach’s transparency and profundity with a portentous or heavy air of significance. Touchingly and admirably, he always allows Bach his own voice, his manner at once masterly and self-effacing. How simply and directly he colours and inflects the first Prelude, how assertive but never bullying his second Prelude and Fugue. The third Prelude flashes with all of his early virtuosity, the eighth is ideally sustained and the magical chimes of No 13 are caught to perfection.”
