"Schepkin's WTC II is thought-provoking, blissfully
musical, remarkable in the depth and felicity of its detail... Schepkin
stands out in my mind as the major Bach interpreter of his generation."
--American Record Guide
"Schepkin's approach is bolder, more vibrant than that
of Angela Hewitt, yet the range and variety of playing is comparable, showing
a constantly individual grasp of the essence of Bach's inspiration and the
expressive range that lies beneath the surface of these apparently pedagogic
exercises in polyphony."
--The Penguin Guide (three stars out of three)
"Thoughtful, undogmatic Bach-playing from a pianist who is unafraid
to characterise individual pieces strongly and use the full resources of
the piano.... undeniably beautiful control of nuance... worth listening
to."
--Gramophone
