A friend of mine gave me a recording of Tatiana Nikolayeva's Preludes and Fugues by Shostakovich.  The only problem is that I don't know which of her three recordings this is!  I've heard that the Melodiya recording is her best.  The only way I can think to help people identify it is to list some of the playing times for each of the preludes and fugues.  Thanks for your help.

Prelude and Fugue No.1 in C major - Prelude (2:41)
Prelude and Fugue No.1 in C major - Fugue (2:36)
Prelude and Fugue No.2 in A minor - Prelude (0:57)
Prelude and Fugue No.2 in A minor - Fugue (1:29)
Prelude and Fugue No.3 in G major - Prelude (1:58)
Prelude and Fugue No.3 in G major - Fugue (2:16)

I don't own any of her recordings, but the Hyperion version's No. 1 prelude is only 2:28.

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

In the Regis recording, each Prelude and Fugue pairing is a single track; the C Major P&F is 5'37.
