‘For the profit and use of the studious musical young, and also for the special enjoyment of those who are already skilful in this study’ was how Bach described The Well-Tempered Clavier. But he was being modest: this is music of unparalleled imagination, fantasy and invention, and what better place for it to work its magic than the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields? Harpsichord virtuoso and 18th-century music specialist Nathaniel Mander lives to perform this music, and his Bach has been praised for its intelligence and verve. In the unique atmosphere of this ancient venue, expect a performance that glows in the dark.
