MEDIA REVIEWS
As a scholarly reference,this edition is probably unsurpassable...a rightly-lauded triumph of scholarship,it should be on the shelf of every musician.Whatever other publishers produce,it is likely that,in the UK,the best-selling edition of the 48 will be the one published by the Associated Board.this will be the standard text in the UK and worldwide,alongside all the other marvellous Bach,Schubert and Brahms editions already in Signature volumes.Whatever your chosen instrument,this is not only a fine editorial achievement,but also a compendium of both wisdom and pleasure virtually without equal.The best English-language edition so far. Contains very useful material on manuscript sources,variants,and performance questions. A bonus is the inclusion of Donald Francis Tovey's classic analyses of each prelude and fugue,along with the editor's helpful caveats.
