Simply brilliant. No one will ever live up to the standard this man set. No one. Bach's preludes and fugues are like the old testament of music.

@Drelnis In the Baroque period tunings were generally lower than today's standard. Many early music performers and groups tune their instruments about a semitone lower than our modern standard pitch of A=440 or 442 hz, especially if they are playing original instruments that were made to play in the lower tuning.

I notice this great recording is actually a semitone lower than written, is this because of the nature of the harpsichord?

haha i think it's nice either way because i love this song, but i just think it's too fast to appreciate it at this speed. when i learn the whole song i'll see what speed i like it better at :D

way too fast.

Bach played on piano is great, but Bach played on harposichord is even better!!!
At the repeatung of the secind part of the prelude the piece gets a flow that takes me away...-wonderful! And the fugue is great too, as said: a feast for ears and mind:)
