Edition of Bach?

[Rach3]

This might be a touchy subject, but what is the best edition for the WTC? I have the Dover as a study score for listening (quite bad for serious playing), and Henle's book I (quite decent?), but my teacher places a lot of faith in what I would excpect to be an unlikely source: Kalmus (which seems to have a lot more footnotes and sources than Henle). Also, I heard somewhere there was a much better, very expensive, hard-to-find, mysterious, other German publisher also labeled 'urtext', anyone know about this?

I recommend getting the Alfred edition for the first book. Unfortunately, Alfred didn't publish an edition of the second book, so you'll have to look elsewhere for an edition. I use the Kalmus edited by Bischoff, although I'm sure some purists would be against using anything but urtext. Bischoff has great fingerings and if you ignore the expression markings, it's a good edition.
