24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87 – Dmitri Shostakovich
Performed by Vladimir Ashkenazy
This monumental cycle stands as one of the 20th century’s greatest keyboard works—a modern counterpart to The Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. Composed between 1950–51, Shostakovich’s Op. 87 traverses all 24 major and minor keys, pairing each prelude with a fugue in a rigorous yet deeply expressive structure.
Ashkenazy’s interpretation is widely admired for balancing clarity and emotional depth. He treats the set not just as an academic exercise in counterpoint, but as a vast emotional landscape - ranging from intimate miniatures to monumental, almost symphonic statements.
