Description: If any of you have been tempted by the river of BIS releases in their series of this composer's keyboard music but were put off by its size and full-price point, here is a cheap and easy way to get a good idea of what Bach was about - his mercurial personality, his penchant for bizarre shifts in emotion, his musical innovation - in these works, published over the years 1779-87 as "Sonaten für Kenner und Liebhaber". 5 CDs. Pieter-Jan Belder (fortepiano, clavichord).
