Bach: Well-tempered Clavier, Book II

　　巴赫耗费了多年时间，写下了两册「十二平均律」是键盘乐器的经典作品，有「键盘乐的旧约圣经」之称。
　　
　　美国大键琴家柯克帕特里克于1963年发行的「平均律」第一册录音，是历史上第一部以大键琴演奏的版本。由于当今绝大部分的「平均律」都已经使用钢琴演奏，许多人都已经忘记，大键曾经是巴赫最喜爱的乐器，因此「平均律」以大键琴演奏，应该最符合巴哈当时的创作意图。
　　
　　柯克帕特里克的版本有着相当的实验性质，而有些前奏曲与赋格的段落在他的演奏下，似乎以动态范围较窄的大键琴来做私密而舒适的发挥较为合宜，而且也展现了不同于钢琴的味道。柯克帕特里克充份掌握住大键琴的极限，利用它完成一幅幅温煦而优雅的巴哈音画。
　　
　　这套珍贵的录音，已经随LP绝版消失在目录20年以上，这套Archiv版CD极具珍藏价值，企鹅唱片指南评为三星。
