The Well-Tempered Clavier Books I & II - Complete Recording
Christine Schornsheim (harpsichord,
Ruckers-Cembalo, 1624)
• Christine Schornsheim, one of the most eminent specialists of historic keyboard instruments, performs J.S Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier on the Ruckers-Harpsichord in Colmar. Only a few harpsichords from 17th century Antwerp have survived and are still fully functional today.
• Speaking of the harpsichord Christine Schornsheim writes: “It is the most beautiful instrument I know, a nightingale: modest on the outside but its sound bedazzles. It is earthy, warm and singing, with a bright responsiveness; it has everything that is essential for Bach’s polyphonic music.”
