@cosmicjazzer Yes its by vladimir ashkenazy

@KawaiiKitten666 Happy listening!

[Fhilbo]

@KawaiiKitten666 I agree, the fugue is so beautiful, I've yet to hear its equal in beauty. Anybody have any nominations?

[virtuosowannabe]

@Fhilbo the fugue from wtc book 1 no.17 perhaps, when interpreted calmly and flowing

[cosmicjazzer]

This is the best version of this I've heard. I like Jarrett's version almost as much in different ways... Is this Vladimir Ashkenazy?

You're welome. This happens to be one of my favourites as well.
