Well-Tempered Clavier, Books 1 and 2 Main Performer or Conductor: Samuel Feinberg Instrumentation: Piano Individual Works: Complete Preludes and Fugues from both books of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Arlecchino Catalog Number: ARL17-19 Year Released/Recorded: 1930's Total Playing Time: 222 min Comments: An old monoral recording, but the sound is very clear and enjoyable, to say the least. The late Russian pianinst is the second (first is Edwin Fisher) to record the entire piece. Some of the preludes and fuges contain astonishingly vivid moments, which I think exceed those in performances of Gould, Gulda or Richter's. The book 2 is much better.
