Michael Houstoun played the entire 96 pieces of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier Books I & II this past weekend. The pieces that make up the two books were written as exercises for Bach's pupils. Peter Hoar evaluates the experience of hearing New Zealand's pre-eminent pianist tackle his latest Bach Marathon.
