DESCRIPTION:Jill Crossland (piano)\nJ.S .Bach  from  the well-tempered Cla
 vier: Bk 1- 3\, 5\, 6\, 15\, 20  (C major and minor\, C# major\, D major a
 nd minor\, G major\, A minor)\nG Stoelzl (arr William H Harris after J S B
 ach)   “Bist du bei mir”         \nBach’s well-tempered Clavier (48 
 Preludes and Fugues) is widely seen as the greatest ever pedagogical keybo
 ard work- two set of preludes and fugues in all possible keys\, which may 
 (or may not) have been linked to the arrival of equal temperament as a sys
 tem for tuning instruments. The early preludes of Book 1 were first writte
 n specifically for Bach’s eldest son and clearly have an origin as finge
 r-exercises- 6 is especially virtuosic and 15 is the last of these\, while
  in 3 and in the fugues Bach experimented both with showcasing traditional
  fugal forms and with making such contrapuntal pieces more palatable by wr
 iting them in dance rhythms or with melodic interest. No. 15 is for exampl
 e a concert allegro often compared to the harpsichord part of the fifth Br
 andenburg concerto. \nBist Du Bei Mir is known to us from Bach’s wife’
 s Anna Magdalena’s Notebook\, copied into it by her. It is an arrangemen
 t of an aria from Gottfried Stoezel’s “Diomedes”. We don’t know if
  this was originally a folk song\, was composed by Stoelzel (a contemporar
 y of Bach) for his now-lost opera\, or even by Bach himself\, such is its 
 quality and appeal. “If you are with me\, I will go gladly unto my death
  and my rest”\, the words say. This arrangement was made by William H Ha
 rris\, organist at St George’s Windsor in WW2\, whose singing pupils inc
 luded Princesses Elizabeth (later The Queen) and Margaret. Harris arranged
  it for Maria Donska\, a Polish Schnabel pupil\, who made her pianistic ca
 reer in London\, arriving as a refugee from the Nazis.\nJill Crossland is 
 originally from West Yorkshire\, pursues an active concert and recording c
 areer and gave over fifty concerts last year. Jill has given many recitals
  on the South Bank and at the Wigmore Hall in London\, and her other appea
 rances have also included Cadogan\, Bridgewater and Fairfield Halls\, St G
 eorge’s Bristol\, the Leipzig Gewandhaus\, Vienna Musikverein\, Vienna K
 onzerthaus\, the National Concert Hall\, Dublin and the Sage Gateshead. Ji
 ll has featured in the Classic FM Hall of Fame and her Bach’s Well Tempe
 red Clavier has received high praise\, described by the Penguin Guide as 
 ‘a remarkable achievement\, ranking with the finest’ Jill has appeared
  on radio and TV\, including live and recorded broadcasts on BBC Radios 3 
 and 4. Jill has recorded Bach\, Rameau\, Mozart\, Beethoven for Warner\, S
 ignum and other labels. Her new recording of Chopin is released by Signum
