J.S.Bach - French Suites

  • Andras Schiff - Piano
    BWV 812 813 814 815 816 817
    The French Suites, BWV 812--817, are six suites which Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the clavier (harpsichord or clavichord) between the years of 1722 and 1725. The suites were later given the name 'French' (first recorded usage by Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg in 1762) as a means of contrast with the English Suites (whose title is likewise a later appellation). The name was popularised by Bach's biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, who wrote in his 1802 biography of Bach, "One usually calls them French Suites because they are written in the French manner." This claim, however, is inaccurate: like Bach's other suites, they follow a largely Italian convention.
    There is no surviving definitive manuscript of these suites, and ornamentation varies both in type and in degree across manuscripts.

    Schiff wanders through the landscape of Bach's music in a state of sheer delight, familiarity and wonderment. His joy transcends all other thoughts as he is engulfed by Bach's magic and he communicates it to us without a trace of self-consciousness. No musician can do more.

    I had never even heard of Andras Schiff before last week. I saw the video of him playing the English Suites, and now, the French Suites. He plays them from memory, in front of live audiences. He is perfect, almost like he is Bach making them up on the spot. - youtube is good for something. Saving these amaaaing performancds almost redeems them in my eyes.

    Andreas Schiff once said during an interview that he always starts every day by first playing a piece of Bach’s music regardless of whatever else he’s professionally required to perform. It says a lot about his regard for Bach but also explains why he plays so effortlessly with deep emotion and precision. We the audience are the beneficiaries of his devotion. Thanks Andreas.

      I agree with everything you wrote, but to me it's incredible that this is only scratching the surface. As others wrote in the replies, the partitas, concerti, the french overture, italian concerto, two part inventions and sinfonias, I think i remember seeing him play the toccatas on spotify. Basically he played all of music by Bach. He might have omitted some much lesser known works, but I doubt there are many. And then... complete Mozart sonatas and many concerti, many Haydn sonatas and concerti, all Beethoven sonatas (I think there are a few violin sonatas as well, if not all) and concerti and other works of all of the classical trio composers works like variations. Most of Schubert sonatas, Impromtus, moments musicaux, wanderer, four hand pieces, songs, Chopin preludes, some etudes, i think he recorded the 2nd concerto, I know there are recordings of him performing first two ballades and scherzi (the only recording of him I can remember not liking very much), all important Schumann works, a lot of Brahms, both concerti, clarinet sonatas and many other works, Janacek, Bartok, a lot of chamber music. And conducting. He is out of this world. Whenever I study a new piece I check if there is a Schiff recording, and usually there is unless its russian or impressionist music.

    Bach’s keyboard music may not be as overtly flashy technically as that of say Rachmaninov or Liszt. But it is SO much more difficult to perform! With Bach, there is no where to hide. You can’t connect the various contrapuntal lines by just blurring it all together with the use of the sostenuto pedal, the way many pianists do with piano music of the Romantic era. With Bach you really can’t use the sostenuto pedal at all, as is the case with Schiff’s brilliant performances here. He’s creating smooth legato lines by using enormously complex fingering. And yet he makes it all sound so effortlessly beautiful! This is but one of the many reasons why Schiff is among the greatest of Bach keyboard performers of all time. I have major respect and admiration for this man. He has always been a source of enormous inspiration for me as a pianist. 🙏

    What a phenomenon - beyond our understanding, but so be it - that our awareness, our understanding of Bach's music keeps evolving. I loved listening years ago to Rosalyn Tureck, then fell head over heels with Glenn Gould. Since I heard him in his New York Debut at the Grace Rainey Rogers auditorium, I have been amazed at every moment that Andras Schiff has shared with us his Bach, and the amazing part of all this is that his interpretations keep evolving. What we were grateful years ago, is even more of a gift today.
    Listening to this great musician bringing us Bach is the deepest spiritual experience. Just try listening to the September 7th WTC from Royal Albert Hall. God bless you Andras.

    As with Schiff's live performance of the English Suites, I am in complete awe of his musicianship. His sense of the inner pulse of the music, his balancing of voices and his ability to make us grasp the structure of these works is without parallel. That he is able to do all this from memory only underscores how utterly Schiff inhabits these magnificent works. Bach's music never fails to exemplify the sense of balance, joy, and nuance to which every life should aspire.

      My sentiments exactly. GG has a less emotional but equally beautiful style. Sometimes, I think, GG’s slower tempi and more computer-like evenness of sound serve the pieces better, but then at other times the two pianists switch the other way. I love them both. As for Lang Lang, well, he should stay safely away from Bach and stick to Liszt, Chopin and the great Russian composers, where he excels, if he values his reputation!

      ***** It is not hard at all to memorize the entire structure - your hands do this for yourself. The hardest part is to improve your technical skills (practice makes perfect). I've studied guitar and I noticed that practicing classical composers teaches your hands of the musical sense implied in any composition. Also the whole piece must be audible in your mind as if you put a record on. It's quite amusing experience indeed.

    Quotes about J. S. Bach:
    The immortal god of harmony.
    - Ludwig van Beethoven
    Now there is music from which a man can learn something.
    - W. A. Mozart (on hearing Bach motets in Leipzig)
    Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars.
    - Friederick Chopin
    Bach is the beginning and end of all music
    - Max Reger
    I had no idea of the historical evolution of the civilized world's music and had not realized that all modern music owes everything to Bach.
    - Niccolai Rimsky-Korsakov
    Bach is the supreme genius of music... This man, who knows everything and feels everything, cannot write one note, however unimportant it may appear, which is anything but transcendent. He has reached the heart of every noble thought, and has done it in the most perfect way.
    - Pablo Casals

      - inneresting conversation down , to Perry Weiner's comment , i'm also a afficionado for most of Gould's Bach interpretations , more than Schiff's , in general , but this one here i find absolutely excellent , or perhaps i'm just a bit 'under the weather' -? ( Dreary Days in Emsterdem .. ) maybe Gould's 'clockwork-tempo' was a little too much for me after my son's .... - letz say , he could have done better ..
