Tried listening to Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis. Can't really get into it. - As much respect as I have for Hindemith, I suspect Shostakovitch is more of a 20th Century successor to Bach than him - he uses a "normal" musical language rather than a theoretically created one.
Also, Nikolayeva consistently plays these better than the composer himself.
