KONSTANTIN LIFSCHITZ PLAYS BACH: THE WELL-TEMPERED CLAVIER BWV 846-893 The Russian pianist Konstantin Lifschitz’s performances of the complete Well-Tempered Clavier in New York and Miami have elicited superlatives from the critics. In a variation of performance practice, Lifschitz combines the two books with each prelude and fugue from Book I followed by the corresponding prelude and fugue from Book II, thus keeping the key signatures together and creating a steady progression through the scale to the end of the series.
