Aw, snap! Fantastic. I had some difficulties in the prelude, however, discerning some of the lines. I think it might even be taken a few clicks slower, as well. The fugue, though...tasty.

many thanks for the comment!! yes, I think that im having difficulties finding the 'ideal' tempo - some parts feel too slow if I take down the tempo a bit, but other parts (especially wich a lot of inner voices, modulations, etc) feel too fast at this speed. I might take it down a notch or two. The pieces I posted are very recently learned, and are up for a 1st round of a competition very soon.

Lovely playing.
I think it could be a hair slower, but you made it work well in this tempo.

That's my favorite prelude in Book II. I agree that you play it too fast; in fact you accelerated a couple of times during the prelude. I imagine it as broader and more relaxed than you are playing it right now. Something almost solemn to contrast with the playful fugue (like the E flat major from Book I except the contrast is not quite as extreme.)
The fugue is impressive. I can't hear as fast as you can play it. Even if you want the fast tempo, I'd suggest leaving a few millisecond spaces and breaths between phrases. You could play it this fast without sounding quite as hurried that way.
But these are minor quibbles, it's really impressive.
