Description:

This is the first release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000. This is a collection of Bach's masterpieces recorded at a church in Amsterdam in 1974 by Gustav Leonhardt, a pioneer of the classical music performance movement that spread throughout the world in the second half of the 20th century. The performance, which sharply approaches the essence of the works with deep insight into the score, has great appeal for its intellectual freedom backed by a rigorous sense of balance. The sublime harpsichord sound is also a masterful performance that deserves to be heard.
