Description
The Swiss harpsichordist Michel Kiener studied with Anneke Uittenbosch and Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam and won the prestigious International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges in 1977.
For his recording of the complete Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach, Kiener uses an excellent instrument by William Dowd, made in 1978 from an original by N. Blanchet (1730).
Gramophone Magazine says of Michel Kiener's previous recording (of Rameau): "he is a player with a crisp and tidy technique well able to withstand the close scrutiny of recording one of the great monuments of the harpsichord repertory."
