[Machine Translation] [EMI Classics Best 100 3rd Period] This piece is a must for every aspiring piano player, but it is also a masterpiece that contains rich content as music for appreciation, not just for instructional purposes. This performance by Walcha accurately conveys its charm and Bach's intentions. The clear presentation of style, the melody full of songfulness, and the content of what Bach would have wanted his students to hear are condensed here. While faithful to the musical style, his Bach gives us a sense of a full humanity that cannot be obtained only from an academic perspective. Year of recording: 1961
