Mozart the jazz guy

Very sincere

<3 so beautiful, the best teacher, artist and genius. he is truly one of a kind

Thank You, my dear friend! 🌟

Awesome!!Incredible woman ❤

Catherine Rollin is an absolute treasure as well as her music. I teach her music. Thank you for this video!!!! ❤

She’s an amazing pianist. 10/10. Listen to her Don Juan. Impeccable

The desire to make the harpsichord sing is what makes it so extremely suitable for French music, which like French, is full of ‘liaisons’.

Thank you for this video! But why was it cut short?

❤

Where is the rest of it?

This piece has haunted me for many years, eternally evasive yet pierces the soul.

I think it could be also some special exercise only for 3th and 4th finger..😊

Where is the rest?? I was enjoying the lesson 😅

Has Levin ever written a biography? If he hasn't, he absolutely should - what a rich, interesting and important life. And if he has, someone point me to it!

This video has me in awe. Ive got some years to go to this level of expertise and expressive quality. Inspirational.

Thank you for this excellent video!

Beautiful and so generously shared. Wonderful musician Mr. Rosenbaum. Thank you.

Thank you for unlocking musicians to be brave and creative. Awesome playing too!

That was wonderful! But oh where is the rest???

Yuan plays Bach the way a lot of us hear it in our head no bull shit just singing a song

I love this woman… I am 61 and I decided to start to play the piano and I know it’s a long journey but I started playing Catherine musics and how beautiful and easy her musics are… thanks Catherine and God bless you…as your music say “You have a special place in my Heart”❤❤

Thank you!

Wonderful analysis of Brahms's probably most beautiful work. Thank you!

His rendition of the Complete Bach Partitas No. 1-6 is absolutely sublime: th-cam.com/video/XiG8AGn5Qz8/w-d-xo.html

Wonderful - a shame he was not given time to finish the piece.

Brahms is a Romantic spirit constrained by a Classical intellect

Truly beautiful! What spirit and poise.

Simply, Wow!! ❤❤ ❤ Thank you, Dr. Mikowsky.... food for soul for the rest of my live. 🙏

Excellent teacher and pianist!!!!

You are a wonderful Bach interpreter, you should be so much more well known in the public sphere!

Bravo Maestro!

Mikowsky’s attention to detail occurs, never in a contrived way, but, in his own naturalness of expression, a place where each note has distinct purpose enhanced by captivating sound production. These two recordings reflect the uniqueness of his artistry.

Dear Dr. Mikowsky, Rare, beautiful and warm playing. These recordings are precious! Mikowsky's teaching legacy and great taste in music has always played an important role for me as a pianist and teacher myself. Jenny Chai

Absolutely gorgeous! Such a beautiful sound, legato, phrasing. Students will learn so much from this.

Absolutely sublime: the sound, the breathing, the poetry, & the profundity ~ a magnificent display of how a little amount of time can be monumental! These made me recall my first lessons with Dr Mikowsky when I was a teenager, on how to embrace the principle of pedaling Bach and other Baroque composers. However, throughout my 30 seemingly insignificant years of teaching in an environment where the popular preference is 'to simulate the harpsichord', I had to compromise & improvise a bit by subscribing to the ideology that it was taboo to pedal through passages with neighboring tones - on scales, trills, mordents, etc - to avoid distortions of the harmony. Now in my mid-life (crisis - hahaha!😂), these videos just gave me a reminder of how to respect the letter of the law while having the liberty to tastefully control the spirit of the law! I am forever grateful!

A real pleasure to hear these beautiful performances and read the outpouring of affection and gratitude from all the others. I agree wholeheartedly with everything written below. Two points: 1. The relaxed wrist technique and arm weight, absolutely crucial to developing a singing tone, are immediately obvious in a way that is rare to see on video. It takes me back to my first semester as a master's student at MSM, keen to play all the fast and loud repertoire I could lay my hands on, and yet Mikowsky spent at least half of the lesson on 5 consecutive weeks(!) working on tone production in the Chopin F minor nocturne. How long it took me to understand why! 2. The wonderfully personal musical touches in the Bach that bring the concept of “concerto” to life, as if we were really hearing Vivaldi through Bach’s ears. Also, very rare-just a couple weeks ago I had a student play this Italian Concerto for me in a masterclass who needed me to explain what a concerto is! The singing tone in Mikowsky's right hand is worthy of a violin master. Edward Neeman

Listening to Dr. Mikowsky’s performances make any comments pale compared with the artistry they represent, reflecting a "Golden Age" style we can seldom hear nowadays. The playing in these videos reveal true mastery!!!

What a wonderful experience to listen to these two recorded gems! I was immediately transported back in time, more than 4 decades, dare I say, to the formative years of my musical studies with Mikowsky. His unique voice is undiminished over time - still singing so eloquently and with absolute musical truth in every phrase. Some of the many ardent comments have associated his stylistic approach with an older school of playing. Perhaps this is so. However, the agogic stresses, transparent textures, deft ornamentation, and effortless legato with only a thin sheen of the pedal are very much up-to-date and timeless, in my opinion! There is so much to still learn and admire from these recorded examples. As Mikowsky has selflessly devoted so much of his life to his students, my only wish would be for him to continue taking the time to leave us with yet more recordings!

The playing “speaks” and tells stories. It reminds me of Cherkassky and Horowitz; when a musician has something to say through sound, there is no need for extra movements or facial expressions. Truth needs nothing extra. This is so rare nowadays.

I love the tone (so distinctly beautiful!), sensitivity, colorful touch, warmth, the expressiveness and elegance. The performance is captivating, and there is no dull moment. Thank you so much for making this precious and inspiring recording, Dr Mikowsky!

These are extremely beautiful and individualistic performances, so representative of Mikowsky's point of view. We don’t hear Bach played like this nowadays, and the students should realize that they are witnessing something very special. Simone Dinnerstein

Wonderful analysis of this heartbreaking piece. The contrast between the delicate first theme and the deeply passionate second theme is pure genius. Thank you!👍😊

Professor Mikowsky, Amazing performance!!! Very inspiring!❤

¡Bravo, querido Solomon! Ejemplo de artista. ¡¡Cuánta música!! Gracias. Un abrazo
