I'm not sure if you mean the Preludes Op 34, an earlier work by Shostakovich,
or the Preludes and Fugues Op 87.

About the latter: I don't know Keith Jarrett's version, but I can strongly
recommend Konstantin Scherbakov's (Naxos 8.554745-46).  Of course, there
is always reason to consider Tatyana Nikolayeva, to whom the Preludes
and Fugues were dedicated by Shostakovich in the early 1950's.
