Bach's Prelude & Fugue in E-flat minor, Bk. 1 of Well-Tempered Clavier, by Evelyne Crochet
:
Evelyne Crochet's interpretation has the quality of a prayer – at once deeply sorrowful and consoling. Since I found this treasured recording of the complete WTC in 2005, it has been my travel companion ever since; I listen to it constantly on my iPod. Incidentally, the identical acronym shared by Bach's collection and the World Trade Center has not escaped me; I am often reminded of the tragedy when I listen to my WTC. (Prelude & Fugue in B minor or B-flat minor would be me other suggestions.) A great recording.
