5 out of 5 stars Sublime.......2002-04-29

I love Bach. I love piano. I love jazz. This disk is one of my most treasured musical items...along with the 3 other volumes John Lewis recorded based on Bach's The Well Tempered Clavier Book 1. Import price, but well worth the extra money. Lewis, absolutely true to the spirit of Bach, works the intricate interplay between his piano and his accompanists into a musical stream that flows from stately to swing and seamlessly back.....always sublime. I doubt there has ever been another pianist who could so beautifully suffuse Bach with a respectful jazz flavor......it is delicious, sensuous, cerebral and spiritual. Buy it. You'll be most glad you did. It is such a shame that some of the finest music recorded in the last 20 years is of such limited availablility. All four disks, Volumes 1 through 4 are well worth tracking down.
