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.)
Pieces I'm working on:
Beethoven op. 109
Chopin Etudes op.10
Tchaikovsky Seasons June & October
Tchaikovsky Russian scherzo op. 1 no. 1
Tchaikovsky concerto 1
Mozart K 488
Rachmaninoff sonata 2
