Bach: the greatest composer of music ever. And Petri his disciple. This is just awesome in the sense that it inspires awe. Bravo Bach, Petri and bravo you tube for this gift.
Far too unknown still! He was not included in the Philips series... while he arguably was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th Century. Only a couple of years ago, there was almost no recording available on UA-cam... thankfully, that has now changed.
BWV 688 score is also available in Barenreiter's edition of Kunst der Fuge (marked as 688a). I think it's almost identical to Petri's version, minus all those low register octaves he (and Busoni) seem to like.
Also in Phillips great piano series they did not include Annie Fischer , she is a truly great artist but so was Egon Petri and Horszowski both were great exponents of Bach .

That voicing...impeccable!
Beautiful!
So,thank you very much for making this treasure available) never heard more delicate and poetical musician like Egon Petri
Really, really enjoyed this piece. Egon Petri is great! Thanks for the introduction to this pianist - much appreciated!
Already Christmas came here! Very beautiful!
marvelous touch!!
So beautiful!
Pure beauty...
Потрясающе! Искренне, кристально чисто и просто.
Precioso
Played with Petri's customary tonal clarity and lucid voicing. Maybe the ending of the second one particularly shows the influence of his teacher.

Rushed
Too bouncy for my taste.... It sounds like a little girl was so happy that she got a lolypop.
He has made another recording (also on you tube) - a slower intepretation. Both are excellent i find.
2:01 wrong chord! Should be Blat-C-Eflat-G instead of C-Eflat-G
