  "summary": "Pianist Sohn Min-soo, a 50-year-old musician known for his work at the New England Conservatory in the United States, is set to perform Bach's masterpieces for solo piano. His latest release is the first book of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, issued by British classical music label Hyperion. This marks Sohn's first album in six years and his first Bach recording in 15 years, following his complete recording of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas in 2020. Sohn's decision to return to Bach was influenced by his reflections on how music can connect with society, as he noted that every voice in Bach's fugues must be heard, regardless of how quiet or delicate it may be.",
