What's your favourite performance of Bach's Preludes and fugues?

on: June 05, 2018, 01:55:48 AM

So, title explains all.

What is your favourite Performance of Prelude and Fugue from J.S. Bach's WTC?
Book I or II - Doesn't matter.
Also, what is your favourite Prelude and Fugue?

(Those two questions may sound like the same, but they're not really. One might have a prelude and fugue that they love, but cannot find a recording they like on that work).

Mine is P&F In C minor, WTC Book I. I especially liked Andras Schiff's performance of it at Proms 2017.

(I need to learn some more Preludes and Fugues... They really are beautiful.)
