I love her climax and coda for the fugue. The subject was extremely clear too. The balance of the bigger notes at the end and quieter ones in the middle was wonderful.😄
I find this such a difficult fugue to play but it’s one of my favourites. To articulate and differentiate the subject and countersubject and maintain their rhythmic distinctiveness but simultaneous co-dependence I am trying to do but haven’t managed it properly yet.
I have never heard a performance of the prelude quite like this - so still and calm and quiet! I love it.! The "French" (dotted, jerky) rhythms (which to be honest I always find disagreeable in Baroque music) are somehow transfigured into something other than the tiresome "royal procession" into something that may be grief-stricken, or tired or weak or failing... until the vigor of the fugue comes along to revive (us?).
She is one of the only interprets that don't follow Henle's remark in the appendix that dicates to play the dotted rhythm as double-dotted. She plays like Glenn Gould. But Andras Schiff, and many others play a more normal double-dotted rhythm. Anyone has more information on the reasons?
The way Baroque music was notated does not always correspond to how it should be played, and there's often an element left up to the interpreter. This piece clearly references the French overture style, to which the double-dotted rhythm sounds closer in this piece.

The fugue makes me break down in tears every time. What a glorious piece of perfection.
I could have made that same comment...
GORGEOUS! ~ piece, pianist, performance, place. Angela's Bach is unsurpassed. Bravo Angela!
My favorite prelude and fugue piece from the WTC played absolutely amazing
This set (Prelude & Fugue) is Bach at his most inventive. Wonderful music & interpretation.

Epic beauty. Profound understanding. !!!
So good! Amazing performance!
I just cried for 2 minutes, it's so beautiful!
4:42 my God. 😭😭
Top notch playing, You are n. 1!!!! Brava Angela

The fugue, I'm guessing?
Bartok would have agreed with you. He ranked all the fugues by difficulty and this one’s in the top tier.
Wonderful interpretation!
La vida en esta pieza❤
3:57
Love this performance!
Just for amusement, note that the harmonic structure of the subject of the fugue fits the “I’m a Barbie Girl” song…
Quite enjoyable.
Prelude makes me feel as if Bach was just a trickster, then Fuque make me feel the brilliant mind

Re-surfaces in a fine transformation in Schumann’s lovely Dichterliebe describing the Rhine.
I play the prelude about twice the speed and it's more effective
The layering and syncopation of the voices is more evident and impressive

You are right. I use mugelini edition and some notes are dotted rather than double. They are actually nicer
awesome Incrível
Makes me feel like a Queen in a royal court ruling over the world
