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, and five concertos by Vivaldi transcribed for solo harpsichord.
The solo recordings, made in Paris and Prague between 1965 and 1973, were first published individually by ERATO then finally as an integral 21 LP edition in 1975. Many of the recordings were also licensed and published on LP by SUPRAPHON in Czechoslovakia, MUSICAL HERITAGE SOCIETY in the United States, and ETERNA in East Germany. An integral 18 CD edition of limited availability was published only for 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.
