Bach - The Well Tempered Clavier / 48 Preludes & Fugues [Nikolayeva]

This is the second time this set appears in my Blog, i played this last year [5th August 2010], in my mind it's the best version i have in my collection [Gulda comes second], there's insights aplenty, she has a disarming way with her pianism, she lets the music speak for itself most of the time, she doesn't play 'quick fix it' ideas to get your attention, rather relying on understatement and patience in long term payback to get the message across.
