I've lived with a custom-pressed LP of Shostakovich's Preludes and
Fugues, played by the composer, for a few decades. Although the fidelity
is poor, the finger technique and pedaling muddy at times, and it's not
the entire set, I enjoy it and regard it as a document which illustrates
the feeling that the composer had in mind for these pieces.

Does anyone know if this recording has ever been re-issued on CD?
Also, is there a recorded performance available now that is faithful to
this model?
Thanks.
