Peter Hill [piano]
J.S. BACH: Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1
Peter Hill
RELEASE DATE
3RD JUNE 2013
Peter Hill’s recording of Bach’s 'Well-Tempered Clavier', Book II wowed critics across the board in January 2012,
prompting The Guardian to write: "With luck this is the first in a series of Bach recordings from Hill, and let’s hope Book I
of the '48' follows soon."
One of the leading British pianists of his generation, Peter Hill is known for his performances and recordings of
20th-century and contemporary music as well as the classical repertoire. His complete cycles of Messiaen and of Berg,
Schoenberg and Webern have received superlative acclaim. The Messiaen was described as "one of the most
impressive solo recording projects of recent years", New York Times, and won Messiaen’s endorsement: "Beautiful
technique, a true poet: I am a passionate admirer of Peter Hill’s playing". Both sets feature in the book '1001 Classical
Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die'.
