Notes and Editorial Reviews
"As Glenn Gould did 30 years ago, Tepfer treats Bach with respect but not reverence. This is not “jazzified” Bach, as in Jacques Loussier’s more sentimental version. Tepfer is not in awe of the Baroque master; rather, he makes Bach a colleague in joy, reminding the listener of the sturdiness and ambition of the original even as he lays claim to new territory." -

"This is no stunt, but a fresh musical exploration. Mr. Tepfer invites you to hear this masterpiece through his ears. I bet Bach would recognize a kindred spirit in Mr. Tepfer." - Anthony Tommasini,
