Private Edition |
Summer 1955 |
4-CD / TT: 245:37 |

Recorded in New York City, New York, USA.
Researched by William Jones.
Source: Natalie, Borovsky's step-daughter. The air conditioning had to be shut off in the recording studio as it was too noisy. During the sessions Borovsky cut his finger while peeling an apple!! A friend in Connecticut furnished the $$$ for the recording studio to make 100-5 LP Albums of the WTC which Borovsky sold to his students and Friends. This was done almost immediately after the recording sessions. We assume that this Limited Edition of the 5 LP albums were made from the "Master's." Then the recording studio gave the "Master's" to Borovsky who put them in storage. They remained in Borovsky's possession until he died when the Master's were then willed to George Zilzer (1968). George stored them until the time he gave them to William Jones.
William Jones said (March 2016): The Tondo above [K-4] were probably plagerized from the Album of 5 LP's. Brian Peters compared the acetate tapes to Borovsky's Album of 5 LP's and they were the SAME.
In November 1957 Borovsky recorded live for French Television all 48 Preludes & Fugues! I have tried to find out more information from French Archives without success.
