ZUZANA RŮŽIČKOVÁ's recordings of Bach's complete solo harpsichord works for the French label ERATO have been reissued in a 20 CD edition from  Warner Classics. In addition to the solo works, this set includes the sonatas for violin and harpsichord with Josef Suk, the sonatas for cello and harpsichord with Pierre Fournier, Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 and the "Triple Concerto" in A minor with Jean-Pierre Rampal, as well as five Vivaldi concertos transcribed by Bach for solo harpsichord.
The solo recordings were made in Paris and Prague between 1965 and 1973 and first appeared as an integral set in a 21 LP edition published by ERATO in 1975. The recordings were also licensed and published on LP by SUPRAPHON in Czechoslovakia, ETERNA in East Germany and MUSICAL HERITAGE SOCIETY in the United States. An 18 CD integral edition of limited availability was published in Japan in 1988. This newly remastered 20 CD edition, representing Růžičková's artisty at its pinnacle and marking her crowning achievement in the studio, finally makes these classic recordings readily available to listeners around the world.
