Bach - WTC I Prelude and fugue no. 8 in E-flat minor BWV 853 - Jacobs | Netherlands Bach Society

From the remaining parts of the first book of Das Wohltemperirte Clavier, harpsichordist Bart Jacobs chose to play the Prelude and fugue in E-flat minor, an unusual key. This key is rarely heard in the Baroque, but in view of the structure of Bach’s project, it had to be included, of course. Incidentally, it produced one of the more extensive and ambitious additions to the collection. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 23rd March 2017 at Eikevliet, Belgium.
