The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2 (Prelude and fugue No. 3 in C sharp major, BWV 872)
Bach's first 'Clavier' book was completed in 1722 and then - only 20 years later - he gave us Book 2! These works are musicologically important but it's music of rare and soothing beauty.
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer: Cedric Tiberghien (Piano)
