pianists to check out:

rosalyn tureck: mostly you'll find bach, her rendition of goldberg variations sounds SHOCKING i kid you not when heard for the first time and after that that's the only "true" goldberg variations for me cannot be helped

tatiana nikolayeva: the only source of comprehensive work on shostakovich's preludes and fugues, she recorded the whole thing couple of times, you can check out youtube vids of her playing p's&f's live in like early 90's. also go to her for your bach and beethoven needs

Dmitri Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue in e minor Shostakovich composed his set of 24 preludes and fugues between 1950 and 1951. Originally, he wanted to write a cycle of finger exercises, but he aspired to create something of deeper meaning. According to the composer’s own words, he played Bach every day, so it is not surprising at all for him to compose something inspired by the two books of WTC. The cycle was dedicated to and premiered by pianist Tatiana Nikolayeva.

For Shostakovich, non-programmatic music meant the last refuge for expressing his own thoughts and emotions freely, without the fear of censorship and being accused of formalism.

The prelude is short, only 44 bars long, a lamentation orignating from a deep sorrow. This might be the reason for using the classic sigh-motif so frequently in this short movement. It is interesting how the diatonic structure turns into something harmonically experimental, creating the illusion of instability. 

The fugue written for four voices follows the prelude attacca, and uses similar structures as Bach did in his own fugues. We have two different subjects, which meet at the final part of the fugue, Another interesting fact about this movement is the peculiar way how Shostakovich balances between classical tonal conventions and an archaic, modal musical language.

For authenticity, I chose a recording by Tatiana Nikolayeva, who was not only the best interpreter of Shostakovich’s music, but a master performing Bach’s works too.
