The prelude reminds me of Mozart, or more correctly I should probably say that Mozart was likely inspired by this prelude.  It's quite enjoyable and I really like the fugue.  Thanks as always and I look forward to hearing more from you.  If the numbers mean what I think they do, you are almost to the halfway point-congratulations on that achievement.

I really enjoyed your performance!
I love this prelude and fugue too- and I'm learning it right now, so I'm always happy to find recordings of it. I hope I'll be able to play this as well as you do someday.. Thanks for posting, and I'm looking forward to more Bach :)

Edit: I'm back to listen a second time... :)

Beautiful.  My kind of Bach.  Non-legato touch, full sound, intelligent use of pedal - really wonderful playing.

Nice. Beautiful playing. Now the fugue really sounds Baroque with those embellishments.
