Johann Sebastian Bach
English Suite No. 2 in A minor, BWV 807
Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Bourrée I, Bourrée II, Gigue
Ivo Pogorelich, piano - เพลง
Тонкое интонирование , текучесть, ясность полифоничной музыкальной ткани ..... Талантливое исполнение!!! "О дар твой славный Бах не только тешит уши, в разумных существах он возвышает уши..." БРАВО !!!
Damn, the articulation... the dynamics... I think Bach would’ve been impressed.
cannot deny Pogorelich is amazing, but I doubt this is what Bach meant
Interestingly, the articulation is very much of the kind where fast tempi are required in order to play non-legato. There isn't anything like the level of experimenting one finds with Gould, who could play with varied articulation at any tempo..
He was eliminated in the 3rd round at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 1980. Martha Argerich was on the jury, and was so upset about the decision, she quit.
Oh
well he gets high score for good haircut. Less haughty than some competitors I've seen. They try too hard to look like Liszt.
That’s great that he got victory!
@@Alix777. Right !
Thats not important what Argerich does. He plays better than Argerich !
The prelude, with which it starts, is by far the best rendition I ever heard. Pogorelich finds a clear melodic line that is pleasing to the mind. Godly.
...and incredible velocity
@@sibionic fast indeed!
I recommend starting each day with an hour of Bach. There is no better way to face the day.
Bach is God
i personally prefer chopin
All parts:
0:00 Prelude
4:02 Allemande
7:47 Courante
9:26 Sarabande
17:00 Bouree
22:18 Gigue
Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks！from Japan.
Inferno2379 thank you from texas
Omg😱😱😱
Ivo Pogorelich is a giant, super artist.....definitely a legend.
As Richter said: "One has to listen to Bach for hygienic reasons"....completely agree.

Soul _ oh that’s good, Soul
@@oliverthomson3843 ai kno
I say: one has to play Bach for mental illness reason. F*** ing difficult!
@@oxennevillafranca2811 who plays Bach is masochist
The music of Bach is timeless...it heartens me that modern musicians take the care to bring and keep this music alive and thriving.
If anyone else played the prelude this fast it wouldn't work. But with Pogorelich it just feels so right.... The contrast between this and the following Allemande is breathtaking.
Totally agree. And oddly, I've had to listen to this recording many many times, over a couple of years, to appreciate that.
Esatto!
I'm not sure many people realize Bach's music is a miracle, and anyone gifted enough to play it is just as miraculous. Bach's music was intended to be played (and sung) across the Universe by any means possible.
winterdesert1 I know.
Sorry to disagree, but I can play Bach. I've been told I play quite well. I play several segments and dances from the English and French suites, Goldberg variations, even tackled some of the Art of Fugue. I've memorized them, play them at tempo, run through the repertoire daily. I cherish Bach. But to compare my ability to his is laughable. Bach is an unfatjomable giant and I am a flea. Years after I've memorized them I STILL find new depth in pieces he wrote in hours or days. The only difference between me and someone who can't read a note of music is that, perhaps, I might have a better sense at just how inferior I am. Bach was the greatest musician who ever lived, IMHO
no
Just Earth. If living beings outside of Earth exist, I'm not sure how they could have heard Bach's music...then again, the expansion of their technology may be unprecendented compared to humans.
One planet. One solar system. 100,000 of those in our small, infant galaxy. 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
I mean its pretty awesome that i can play some Bach compositions (not this One) but even if somebody could play every Bach piece perfectly he still wouldnt be as great as him
I think if the Prelude was the only thing Ivo ever recorded, he would still be considered a genius.
That Sarabande is just the purest idea of elegancy: you can even picture the musics floating beautifully among light.
What a classical beauty and joy....and simplicity - including shirt and no grimaces!!!
Perfection pure!!!!
Long live Pogorelich! I have all of his albums and absolutely adore him.
What a waste of money. Why won't you just buy the good ones? 😂
polyphony at high speed is like a drug
the articulation is indeed impressive, which is always a challenge to attain at a any speed because there are so many things going on at the same time
there is so much color and emotion with a certain sparkle that very few Bach interpreters seem to have, Bunin had it, maybe a few others in addition to what we are privileged to hear in this performance
個人的好みだとは思うけどこれぞピアノで聴くに値するバッハ。
30年以上彼の演奏以上の演奏に出会っていない。
This guy has to be one of the greatest 20th century pianists. He is so beautiful to hear and also to watch. A beautiful face and quality, very rare.
He aged as an old lesbian lady.
@@carlosjavierguzman1509 That sounds like a compliment to me
And watching his hands is watching a ballet
Wolfie darling, it sounds as though you have crush!!
Браво, Ивушка. С первых нот захватывает и не отпускает !
ivo is way beyond sound, ...pogorelich has the most powerful and perfect union of form, harmony and melody,
i have no doubt he is the best interpreter ever, surpassing maria callas and horowitz, and at the level of the greatest composers to whom he seems to play for.
This is riveting! Sort of Marthe Argerich crossed with Glenn Gould. Such assurance, it's wonderful.
One likes to hear Bach well played, that is with digital perfection in all its aspects Pogorelich does this. I love to hear him. Thanks!
ecstasy, and then more ecstasy....a soul found in every note, each phrase,, the descending line, the momentum towards the musical feeling always at the center of this playing....a work of art that leaves me breathless every time....humbled by its beauty
The Allemande at 4:04 is so beautifully played...
The Bourrée at 17:00 has such a perfect rock-steady rhythm. Like Glenn Gould, but with more sensitivity, brilliant!
I wish I could live one day of this guy's life. I would play Bach all day...Thanks a lot for sharing. Wonderful really.
By the time you master something you're bored to death with it.
Hello there! Oh believe me, you can never get bored playing Bach:- )But still, I understand what you mean. Yesterday I was listening to a podcast I love: On Being with Krista Tippett. She had the famous writer Elisabeth Gilbert on the programm. Having written several great books Gilbert said: any interesting thing is 90 percent boring. But if you insist on the routine and keep working, then something happens, a transformation that makes all your efforts worthy again. She says she grew up in a farm and this is exactly what happens there too. She got the " perseverance" from there, back then.
It is a very inspiring and fun conversation about life, creativity and wisdom. I highly recommend it to you.
Best wishes!
Yo también...
I have to agree with you. I cannot get tired of Bach. When I played the Italian Concert and the Goldberg Variations and was always happy to sit down to them again. Even after 6 hours, I had to force myself to stop because it was hard on the hands.
I agree with +jag5316 with regard to some music, however, such as a when I studied the Bartok Sonata. By the time is was "stage ready," I was happy never to hear it again. But Bach? He is my "desert island" composer.
I see you a lot in the Schooloflife channel
Off the scale - i think is the best rendition of the English Suites I've heard. Astonishing virtuosity and feel. Very contemporary, yet balanced and tasteful recital.
Ha! It blows me away how this guy's playing gets people so worked up! That alone is testament to the power of what he's doing. It doesn't have to be your favorite performance, but how anyone could hear this and claim that Ivo doesn't understand the music is beyond me.
What a beautiful interpretation!; such an intelligence musician!. Thank you.
I never thought of Ivo as Bach player, but this is great!
Pogorelich's Bach is top notch, period.
I love the time he takes, after the most intense Prelude I've heard, before starting the tender Allemande
the silence,,, you like the silence?> hehehe..
i am a smartass
the best performance ever heard of this suite
One of the best recordings of this Work.
Sheet Music (notes) for Prelude from English Suite No. 2: th-cam.com/video/7uKs16MOYek/w-d-xo.html
Un Bach que canta y baila,reza llora y rie. Pura magia.
“Ist das Bach. Bach? Nein, Mozart. Mozart? Ja”
An extraordinary, intelligent musician!!...and our beloved Martha Argerich understood this, her honesty and courage allowed her to react!!. Bravo!...and thank you, You Tube!
Best prelude performance ever!
Yeah and I have looked everywhere for one that is even in the same universe..
Glenn Gould
@@acb5245 I have to disagree. Glenn Gould plays it like a robot compared to Ivo! The English suites are, IMHO, Gould's worst recordings, and I suspect he made them only to fulfil a contractual obligation. I would instead love to see Ivan Bessonov taking them on. He seems to have the spirit of young Ivo! His interpretation of the Partita No. 2 in C Minor was certainly very promising for a 16 year old: th-cam.com/video/xlidsJLJyIY/w-d-xo.html
Make me a hinge
Clinically pure. I love bourée. The best performance I've ever heard. Sorry Schiff, ur good but this is transcendental, this is beyond.
yes my fav with Gould's and Argerich's
What a fine performance - at times really exciting and at other times so beautiful and lyrical. J S Bach would love this.
Perfect leading of inner voices and phrasing.
love the prelude and sarabande so much, in such constrastful way.
For me Bach has the most beautiful and elaborate pieces for the piano. And most efficient learning tool, too. Havent heard that much except Scarlatti, so I cant get all smart, but Ivo plays eah piece with feeling. I have always marveled at how he handeled Beethoven, for example. His own interpretation, which makes more sense and is more musical to me, personally !
Your music is a captivating journey that pulls me in from the first note. The melodies are both intricate and emotionally resonant
This piece played by him was the very first piece on my very first classical music CD that I *borrowed* from my friend and *forgot* to return. I must have been 13 or 14. I didn't even know who was playing it at that time, but this performance is so recognizable that there is no mistaking it. It pretty much defined my taste for Bach: not mechanical and lifeless, but vibrant and sensual.
A mi me pasó igual...
It's an extremely diffcult piece to play (the prelude especially), and it's shocking how easily Ivo gets into this music. Ok...he is a super-star for a reason, but really even many other famous pianists struggle to make the piece beautiful. Of course the *music* is beautiful, but to play it well on a piano, when it was not written from the piano, is a very difficult challenge.
It;s cause he's a f***ing prince man. Come on, he's extraordinary... and you're right for that reason among others it is a tremendously difficult piece.
gimme back my disc. found you at last. i'm waiting. As interest, can you supply me with James Weaver playing Six Partitas? Some other douche borrowed that from me.
Grande esecuzione! Si alternano momenti di gioia pura, ad altri intensissimi e profondi, ad altri vera danza della mente e del corpo ascoltare non è mai un'esperienza passiva. Che bello.
Instantly fell in love with Sarabande @9.33 . Amazing Ivo.
No me canso de escucharlo, Pogorelich es un genio.
This music played in this miraculous way nourishes my soul ❤️ Thank you Bach&Ivo
Just like how Ivor plays Mozart KV 331 and KV 283, this English suite just blows my mind every time I listens to it. I mean I have never heard anyone take on Mozart and Bach this way. Such a pleasure.
Gut artikulierte Aufführung dieses logisch konstruierten Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit klarem Anschlag und perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt genialer Pianist!
libidinally passionate, exquisite part playing, independence of voices yet creative use of terraced dynamics and orchestra tutti and solisti effects. And we thought he had no tempo conception in his Chopin Sonata,...chuckle. I'd love to have studied with this musician
As a very young man in the seventies, playing in het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, I already was impressed by him! Since then my favorite.
Such an orchestral interpretation. Just love it!
I admire the way he plays. ♡
Watch his palms in the close ups - he sometimes drops them so that he gives himself extra down force. Wow.
When I first this heard this as a recording on DG I was literally blown away - especially by the differences between the Prelude and the Allemande.
Another interesting aside - in this version of the Prelude he plays the music as written with regards to the repeats. In the DG recording he played that last section again - sure it’s amazing playing but I am glad he went back to score at this point:-)
Stop worrying about his gestures. His playing is not self-indulgent, but beautiful and musical. Maybe a bit fast at times but always controlled, and the Allemande, which usually drags, benefits from the faster tempo.
Absolutely beautiful.
What an excellent performance! Amazing both to see and to hear. Really liked it. Thanks for the marvelous video.
Artist Ivo Pogorelić (also Ivo Pogorelich; born 20 October 1958) is a Yugoslav-born Croatian pianist. He is known for his sometimes unorthodox interpretations, which have brought him a sizable following and both praise and criticism from musical experts.[A musician of wide repertoire, his recordings include works by a variety of composers from the early 18th through 20th centuries.
Impossible time. Beautiful. I love this guy and listen him every day.
bless you. I can understand why.
The sound of genius, with music for the Gods.
I listened to 10 different pianists and his was the best
Goulds early Goldberg` and this are perhaps the best Bach recordings ever !
Kudos!!!
WOW!!!! BEAUTIFUL MAESTRO!!!! JUST PERFECT FOR MY SOUL AND YOURS
It is sheer joy to see him attacking those piano-keys with such an ease and tempo !
I've known his playing, but this is the first time I've gotten to see it. I'm amazed at how low his wrists are, sometimes at the level of the key bed. I think my hand would hurt within the first page were I to play like that.
Astonishing. The dynamic and the precision.
10 seconds in and I am already like "wow!".
He does this piece great justice. Some of his mannerisms whilst playing are reminiscent of Glenn Gould. Of Gould, I'll say that he's one of the very few pianists who could ever capture, distill and deliver Bach's essence flawlessly.
It's also of my opinion that the true greats, regardless of genre, lest for Top 40 pop drivel where talent is nonexistent, truly feel the music that they play in a manner that most can't. Glenn Gould, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and Ray Charles are shining examples of this. Each felt/feel every note that they play(ed) with a depth that we'll never truly experience unless we are in their tier.
I remember one comment about pogorelich was that he makes too much gesticulations while playing. Compared to lang lang or some of the pianists we have out there this guy is doing good.
He plays it like it were jazz, every line of melody clearly heard. He interprets freely, not being slavish to the score but letting each line be clearly expressed equally with wonderful accents. Artistic and beautiful. He ends any controversy over whether it is proper to play Bach on a modern piano instead of harpsichord. The answer is clearly and emphatically, yes!
Pogorelić and Gould were both meant to play Bach. Utterly amazing and fantastic.
Agree!!!!
That was insane. Wish I could do that
this guy is special
The Sarabande uses 8 scales: Major, Harmonic minor, Harmonic Major, Melodic, Hungarian minor, Harmonic minor b5, Locrian natural 7 and Neapolitan minor. The alternate version known as Les agréments de la meme Sarabande has a much improved sequence of modulations from bars 14 -21: C Major - E Harmonic minor - E Hungarian minor - B Harmonic Major - E Melodic - D Major - G Major - B Neapolitan minor - B Harmonic minor - B Harmonic Major - E Melodic - E Major - A Major - A Harmonic Major - A Harmonic minor - C Major - E Neapolitan minor - E Harmonic minor - E Locrian natural 7 - F Major- D harmonic minor. This is what gives the second half its ethereal quality.
Виртуозный исполнитель!!! Играет легко, приятно слушать!
An absolutely wonderful performance
Wow, What an amazinging interpretation.
Outstanding performance... 👍🎹👏 MAESTRO
Awesome performer!
My favorite interpretation of this masterpiece. Amazing! To bad he didn't recorded more Bach pieces.
Yes it's a real shame... I wish he played more Bach as well!
Absolutely
Have you listed to Glenn Gould?
Find a recording of Mieczylaw Horszowski playing it live at almost 100 years old. My favourite by far
@@sergej100qca4 Of course, I adore Glenn, overall he is number one - he made so many great recordings
such beauty, bravo, Maestro, greetings from Ljubljana
Really Beautiful as always Bach songs
Masterly beautifully played :-)
Johan Sebastian Bach : La música PERFECTA
Что он делает? Это же чудо!!!
pure talent.
brilliant performance
Così (per me) va interpretato Bach oggi ! Rigore e sentimento. Pogorelich entusiasmante !
I'm in love with gigue, sound's perfect
+Kamila Woźniak Every bit of it is a perfect realization of EXACTLY what HE wanted to do with it. Others may have different ides as to how they think the piece OUGHT to sound, but that is always subjective. By any reasonable standards this is superb, absolutely flawless, refined and highly expressive playing.
Masterpiece! Saw his first of 2 appearances ihere in the San Francisco bay are quite a whle ago. There might have been more appearances since then.
Didn't thought it would be posiibel to play this so fast
"О дар твой славный БАХ ,не только тешит уши ,в разумных существах он ВОЗВЫШАЕТ ДУШИ ....."
amazing,god bless you
Excellent!
The Pogorelich of those years is one of my favorite classical pianists, below nobody. In particular, this rendition of Bach's suite is wonderful with such a "quadrature" and expressiveness.
This DVD recording and a live concert video in Tokio (I think) are two very special musical moments for me.
Thanks for putting it here.
Ivo Pogorelić: un genio del pianismo internazionale!
This is perfection!
Meraviglioso!
I don't think the comments I've read through mention the hands and the shape of the fingers. Otherworldly perfect and relaxed fingers. This is a classical pianist.
