Trade ReviewAs a scholarly reference, this edition is probably unsurpassable...a rightly-lauded triumph of scholarship, it should be on the shelf of every musician. * Music Teacher *
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. * Early Music News *
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. * Classical Piano *
Whatever your chosen instrument, this is not only a fine editorial achievement, but also a compendium of both wisdom and pleasure virtually without equal. * Harpsichord and Fortepiano *
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. * Early Music America *
