Thank you Carmelo,
Sure, Bach always provides many options (probably the definition of a real great composer).
Richter plays the whole piece super legato, which makes sense also.
Bach brings joy and spirtuality, i couldn't image a life without Bach.
All the best and warm regards

That's Absolutely True ! Bach music is really Fantastic !
I'm curious about your approach to the fugue...
I hope to hear it soon!

Really a good job Paul !
Also good and original the idea of "pizzicato" on the bass row, Even perhaps it would have been better (in my opinion) to lighten it like a pizzicato of strings...
I know this piece really well, having recorded the entire WTC 1 with Pianoteq last year. I'm really impressed by your approach to this piece: it's precise and crystalline, mine was most ascetic and transcendental.
Great work! Looking forward to hearing the Fugue!
