The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II

Year2009
The second book continues Sheppard’s traversal of Bach’s 48 preludes and fugues, recorded live at Meany Theater. His interpretation emphasizes articulation, transparency, and the shifting relationships among independent voices, while using the modern piano’s tonal resources without obscuring the music’s contrapuntal architecture.
