Pianist Jan-Willem Rozenboom is now considered a Bach specialist.

With his clear voice and attention to tone, his transparent Bach renditions sound like a feast for the ear. After performances with the Goldberg Variations and Bach Transcriptions, he is now working on ‘the Bible for pianists’.

The Prelude in C major is perhaps the most famous work from the Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. It was the inspiration for Gounod's Ave Maria. Jan-Willem Rozenboom: "Whenever I use this prelude, my heart rate drops. A certain calmness comes over me. The last fugue, in B minor, is also one of the audience favourites. That piece is composed in a Schönberg-like way, but tonally of course." 

De Volkskrant: "Rozenboom's playing is marked by a combination of sobriety and his deep respect for the composer."
