In 1950, Shostakovich went to Leipzig to attend the Bicentennial Bach competition. His admiration for Tatiana Nikolaeva s performance of the Well-Tempered Clavier served as an impetus to write his own set of Twenty-Four
Preludes and Fugues, loosely modeled on Bach s. Over the years, Nikolaeva, who performed the composition frequently throughout her career, became practically synonymous with the work. Alexander Melnikov started from scratch and came up with his own, unique and eminently musical interpretation. The third disc in the set is a DualDisc with a DVD side featuring a short film by Christian Leblé about the Preludes & Fugues that includes interviews with Alexander Melnikov and Andreas Staier.

肖斯塔科维奇1906年9月25日生于圣彼得堡，是苏联最重要的作曲家之一，也是当代世界著名的作曲家之一。他的创作遍及各种音乐体裁，特别是15部交响曲使他享有20世纪交响乐大师的盛誉。此外，他还培养了大批苏联当代著名作曲家，深受苏联人民的喜爱。1975年8月9日卒于莫斯科。
肖氏的交响曲无疑是20世纪的古典音乐中的最具震撼力篇章之一，以他惯有的颇具先锋性质的凌厉气势、强烈的情绪感召力，诙谐讽刺的音乐气质而独树一帜，他的音乐在复杂深刻中充满了人性和思想的拷问、压抑中充满了激情的挣扎冲突，让你很难不为之动容。荷兰籍指挥家贝纳德•海廷克 （Bernard Haitink，1929—）对俄国文化精神以及肖斯塔科维奇的诠释深刻而见解独到，几乎可以说是定义性质的。
