LXVI. SHOSTAKOVICH, Dmitri: Prelude and Fugue in C Major, Op. 87

LXVI. SHOSTAKOVICH, Dmitri (1906-1975)

Prelude and Fugue in C Major, Op. 87 (1950-51)
Dmitri Shostakovich, piano
(4:54)

To hear the composer play his own music is always a treat. There are several good recordings of him playing his own works.

This cycle -- and this Prelude and Fugue, in particular -- are obviously influenced by Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.

Simple, satisfying music.
