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, the "Triple Concerto" in A minor and Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 with Jean-Pierre Rampal, and five transcriptions for solo harpsichord after concertos by Vivaldi.
The solo recordings, made in Paris and Prague between 1965 and 1973, were released individually by ERATO, then in 1975 as an integral 21 LP edition. They were also licensed for LP by SUPRAPHON in Czechoslovakia, MUSICAL HERITAGE SOCIETY in the United States, and ETERNA in East Germany. An 18 CD edition of limited availability was published only for Japan in 1988. This newly remastered 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.
