The great Emil Gilels plays Alexander Siloti’s transcription (some might say arrangement) of Bach’s Prelude in E minor from The Well-Tempered Clavier. Gilels often played this as an encore.

Here is Carlos Kleiber leading the Vienna Philharmonic in the annual New Year’s Day concert at the Musikverein in 1992. While you’re at it, you might want to check out this recording of Beethoven by the same duo, which in my opinion is probably the greatest classical recording of all time.

Happy New Year from Bale Piano & Music Studio!
