WTC Book II Prelude XVI

on: October 26, 2009, 06:36:33 PM

Is there a recording of this piece played at an andante or even an allegro tempo?

Edit: Actually, I think Richter's recording might be considered an andante tempo by some. Are there any recordings of this piece at an allegro or a faster tempo?

Seems to me Angela Hewitt's performance is pretty zippy. It's on youtube, search by BWV number.

But I don't like it fast myself. I like to savor all the strange chromaticism... Surely one of Bach's most avant-garde pieces.

PS I'm also working on this right now.
