Bach playing to refresh the spirits as well as satisfy the mind: the early recordings of consummate Viennese pianist, Jrg Demus, unfailingly lively as well as faithful.

'Pianist' is still too narrow a term to encompass the artistry of a musician equipped with a compendious historical knowledge and practical experience of keyboard instruments from the clavichord onwards. Jrg Demus was Viennese to his fingertips, and together with Paul Badura-Skoda or Friedrich Gulda, he belonged to an informal triumvirate of postwar young Austrian pianists who brought refreshing illumination to Baroque and Classical-era repertoire. Over the decades, few interpreters were considered to be so reliable an exponent of all aspects of Viennese performance practice, whose essential lightness of being Demus deployed in a repertoire established on the rock of Bach.

By his own account, Bach's music came easily and straightforwardly to Demus as a talented teenager at the piano. Though he made his official concert debut as a pianist playing Beethoven, it was his four-concert cycle of The Well-Tempered Clavier, as a recent graduate of the Wiener Akademie, that set Demus on the path of a career which soon attracted the attention of US labels such as Remington and Westminster. From the late-1950s onwards he recorded the major works of Bach gathered here.
