Fugue starts at 1:57.

Why do people care about the pedal so much. This was originally written and performed on the harpsichord anyways so do whatever you think is necessary.

Beautiful...i love the legato...i gives a third dimension to the prelude...the fugue is so solemn yet sensational!!!!

The sustaining pedal must be stuck.

Regarding the pedal: Richter is actually barely using any pedal at all, however, as far as I know, he is playing in a great castle plus that the recording techniques in Sovjet at that time were not perfected.

Who i am? Legato should be made BY YOUR FINGERS..Pedal just helps in some parts..Not ALL of it...no no no!!!

Who are you to criticize one of the greatest pianists of 20th century?

I agree abosultly with you who are these poeple to speak about Richters heavenly Bachs interptetation!!!!

you are a prat Lemonizm. The comment is an opinion on Richter's interpretation and you can't simply dismiss it because you think Richter is untouchable. It's people like you who ruin the arts for others.

First of all, read the comment by "Pianoplayer002". Second of all, you are right; I am a prat for defending one of the greatest pianists of all time, how ridiculous of me! Don't you realize how hypocritical your comment was? You are attacking MY opinion. Stop ruining the "arts" for people.
