Surely only a pianist who has penetrated to the depths of Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier for decades, artistically and pedagogically, can afford to offer this milestone of piano literature on her debut CD. Gerlinde Otto – Professor at the Academy of Music in Weimar – is this artist, presenting the second volume of Bach's monumental cycle as her first production on GENUIN. She plays vibrantly and with a big sound; her Bach sings and goes directly to the heart. She offers the listener a whole that is more than the sum of its parts and, at the same time, a chain of jewels: as Philipp Spitta has already written, a series of "organisms at rest within themselves".
