Michael Maxwell Steer plays F#m prelude & fugue of Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier Bk1 #14 BWV859

This is the second part of my project to record all 48 preludes & fugues on my (soon to be renovated) Bechstein, with a scrolling score for study purposes. You will find some amusing lyrics that fit the fugue subject at http://msteer.co.uk/edu/bach48lyrics2.htm - a homage to Ebenezer Prout qv.
To me these pieces are one of the great sacred texts of music, and every year I have played throu them as a form of musical meditation. In 2008 I thought I should really learn & record them properly. Doing so brought me to realise just how little I really knew them, and fitting the learning process between other priorities meant that I didnt record the first batch until 2010 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL43BC0DA9CFD084EB. A further year then elapsed before I was free to record this set.
