G major prelude and fugue from the second book of the well-tempered clavier.
This was recorded on my ipod tunetalk, and then I had to amplify it in audacity, for some reason it recorded very quietly.

I'm surprised nobody commented. Sounds like a professional recording. Very nice playing in my opinion.

andhow, your bach is always beautiful.  I am forever envious of your technique, although I know that it is clearly no accident, but rather the result of years of hard work.  I too am surprised nobody has commented, but it's certainly not for lack of quality.  bravo.

I never make comments on your recordings but listen to most of them. They are always great and I especially liked this one. Thanks for sharing it!  :)

Very nice work as I see it.  I especially like the way you evidently decided that the fugue should be played molto grazioso.
