Bach - WTC I Prelude and fugue in A minor BWV 865 - Pashchenko | Netherlands Bach Society

The Fugue in A minor, performed by Olga Pashchenko for All of Bach, has been described as “a long and elaborate fugue, interesting in its construction, but perhaps, not one of the most beautiful.” This is what Ebenzer Prout wrote in his 1910 book about Bach's Wohltemperirte Clavier. Apparently such blunt commentary was in fashion back then. Similarly, he describes the inversion of the fugue theme as "somewhat ungainly."
