This is so beautiful, it is heaven. I love this music so much, in one mounth april 2021 I shall be grand dad for the first time, a grand daughter. I shall sing for her Bach and listen with her to Bach and hope she will love classical music as much as I do, now for 57 years. Stay safe, greetings from the Netherlands
Kurtag wrote it exactly like this. It is a question of sound. The right hand mostly sounds more “cantabile” than the left one. For some places he wants the left hand just as “ color” at the sopran voice, but the main voice at the right hand (alto voice)
I don't know for sure but my guess is that it was written this way in order to prevent the pianists from hindering one another. All 4 hands are relatively close during the whole piece and if not crossed the pianists would constantly bump their elbows and rub their underarms at each other.

Listening to this is like having a heavenly experience.
A gorgeous duo with most inspirational performance. Simply appreciated! Can't stop for repeated watching and listening. Thank you.
Beautiful indeed. The genius of God is in this magnificent composition.
I think Márta and György would be pleased listening to your gorgeous performance.

Bach, Kurtag and the sympathetic performers (and even the right piano) come together splendidly here
Goosebumps all over! There is so much sensivity in this performance.
This Bach sonatina reminds me of the passion of Jesus, especially Good Friday.
What a sweet performance....they really blend well together...ever so gently 🥰
What a beautiful experience. This performance continues to draw me in regardless of how many times I listen to it.
what a wonderful couple
Bach is alive!

what is the idea behind playing with crossed hands?
I'm not 100% sure but I guess it's so that the pianists are not constantly bumping their elbows and rubbing their underarms at each other.
Kurtag wrote it exactly like this. It is a question of sound. The right hand mostly sounds more “cantabile” than the left one. For some places he wants the left hand just as “ color” at the sopran voice, but the main voice at the right hand (alto voice)
Perfection. Is this from a Cantata, if so which one? Bach at his best played to perfection.
Actus tragicus, BWV106., the first part. You can try the John Eliot Gardiner recording
Why does the upper part have to be played with hands crossed?
I don't know for sure but my guess is that it was written this way in order to prevent the pianists from hindering one another. All 4 hands are relatively close during the whole piece and if not crossed the pianists would constantly bump their elbows and rub their underarms at each other.
@@MsJuval In any case, thanks for the answer.

@@1jourviendra Makes sense. Thanks.
Close to heaven
This sounds very nice, but I don't understand the reason for the crossed hands.

Whats the BWV number of this?
BWV 106 a
Does anyone know who the woman is? Whats her name...... so attractive
Ask her husband who is playing here with her. 🎵🎹🎵🎶
Names in the description
Beautiful. But any reason why her hands are permanently crossed rather than playing in their natural positions.
C'est ainsi que la partition de cette transcription de Kurtag est écrite et c'est ainsi que kurtag et son épouse la jouent .

Cada vez la escucho me pongo más nervioso! Ay! Pobre Bach si tiene es escuchar esto!
Porque?
浪漫
The JUSSEN brothers did this piece much better. Much, much better.
100 percent in agreement. The Jussen Brothers give the piece more depth and allow it to breathe
This is much better in my opinion
Stop playing piano man...
Stop commenting for nothing man
Une musique divine et une exécution parfaite qui sort du cœur.
Aussi la transcription est parfaite. Bravo.
