Johann Sebastian Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, particularly Book II, stands as a cornerstone of Western keyboard literature that seamlessly blends structural rigor with profound emotional expression. Comprising twenty-four prelude-and-fugue pairs arranged chromatically across every key, the collection showcases Bach’s unmatched contrapuntal mastery and expressive range. Beyond its technical brilliance, the work serves as an enduring exploration of musical architecture and creative discipline. In this recording, pianist Maurizio Zaccaria leverages the dynamic capabilities of the modern instrument to illuminate Bach’s intricate textures, delivering a performance that balances architectural clarity with vocal fluency to demonstrate the work’s timeless artistic relevance.

Born in Bari, Italian pianist Maurizio Zaccaria is an acclaimed soloist, chamber musician, and Piano Professor at Conservatorio “N. Rota” in Monopoli. Having earned advanced degrees with highest honors in both piano and composition, his expansive repertoire spans from Classical to Contemporary works. Zaccaria has recorded extensively for labels like OnClassical and AEVEA, earning a Diapason d’Or for his album of Massenet's complete piano music. He has performed internationally in prestigious venues such as the Vienna Musikverein, Paris’s Salle Cortot, and Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, earning accolades directly from legendary figures like Martha Argerich and Marcello Abbado.
