About

Schaghajegh Nosrati presents her latest Bach recording, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1. She has a very special relationship with Bach's music, and her concerts are packed and highly acclaimed.

"Hailed by Hans von Bülow as the 'Old Testament' of music history, the Well-Tempered Clavier has been the object of a substantial amount of publications and research over the past three centuries.

"We are now in the year 2022: as chance would have it, this CD's release coincides with the 300th anniversary of the first volume of the
Well-Tempered Clavier. Our lifestyle has changed in many ways over the past three centuries. We travel at much greater speed; we develop an increasing number of technologies and digital means of communication.

"Specialists turn out to be one-track minds who accumulate isolated bits of knowledge – indeed, as ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus remarked, 'knowing many things doesn't teach insight.' Insight thus not only requires for us to have knowledge, but also for us to broaden our horizons. And that is exactly what is so fascinating about the
Well-Tempered Clavier.

"It is one of those works that are not only capable of transmitting a great deal of knowledge, but also of revealing profound insight into the essence of music and mankind. Hardly any other composer ever combined so many heterogeneous elements and related them to one another. Bach's view of the world was all-encompassing: thus, with the
Well-Tempered Clavier, we not only embark on a journey through all 24 keys, but also spanning every facet of human existence…"
– Schaghajegh Nosrati

Reviews

[Nosrati] plays with immense delicacy but with a myriad of hues and textures. Scarcely a note is a routine matter of just striking a key. In the long stretch of preludes and fugues such variety and imagination are most welcome. There is nothing, even in the biggest, most severe fugues, of the stodgy or excessively heavy about her playing.
