It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"another diminution"

I would suggest that Nikolayeva makes the Preludes and Fugues larger than life, rather than making them smaller... :)

Nikolayeva's is indeed the recording I have and love. I looked for Gilels's series, having heard him playing one or two of them and been very impressed, but I have never found out whether he recorded the complete set, or just a selection.

If you like Shostakovich's Preludes / Preludes and Fugues, look for the Sonatas. I find the First a little opaque, but I adore the Second. I heard it for the first time when Peter Donohoe played it in concert here.
