Well-Tempered Klavier 1 on CD

"Evgeni Koroliov can keep up with the genius of a Glenn Gould or the discovery of an 'original sound interpretation' - because he has something original to say, even though he does not deviate far from the familiar paths. This does not mean that there is nothing new to be learned from his Bach interpretations. Koroliov finds his own color for each piece entrusted to him, fanned out between archaically robust grasping and an elegantly refined piano sound. But he makes the most lasting impression where he digs deepest: In calmly sounding the depths of, for example, the great minor fugues, where, forgetting himself entirely, he unearths the really essential part of this music."
