The secret to rising in the morning and enjoying every moment is in this music. When one encounters stress play it over, then play it again as God helps you back to being yourself.
Perfect performance, and that Fazioli is one really fine sounding piano. I'm a retired piano tuner, and I've always loved Steinways for their clarity of tone, and this Fazioli is right up there with the best Steinways as far as I can hear with good headphones and a Dell P.C.
The evidence confirms that Bach owned dynamically diverse claviers and thus, intended for the nuanced emotional expression in his Clavier music (not marked for harpsichord for a reason...). So, I appreciate the strive to play Bach in emotionally engaging way and contrary to the absurd convention of emotional self-repression that Bach fought so passionately and fearlessly, even risking being thrown to jail, etc. The longevity of this false tradition is most remarkable maybe because of the fear that Bach still reflects reality so deeply. And this convention in our society is one of the most dangerous paradigms that is the root cause for so many societal calamities... So, I can forgive some lack of middle voice’s connectivity, and simply am simply sure that it can be shaped more consistently, once the awareness is raised about the blind spots. And the degree of the emotional expression can be raised with no even slightest doubt too, just to follow the principal of bringing out the overwhelming beauty of Bach’s music to its maximum.
C'est vraiment magnifique, proche d'une certaine perfection, s'il en est... Le seul point sur lequel je me permettrai bien humblement de faire une petite remarque: pourquoi avoir rajouté tout à la fin les deux notes LA et SI qui ne me semblent figurer nulle part, à ma connaissance, au lieu de terminer normalement sur l'accord de Sol Majeur sans ajout supplémentaire... Je ne trouve pas, pour ma part, que le fait d'ajouter ces deux notes après avoir plaqué l'accord de Sol apporte quelque chose de plus à cette fin sur laquelle, à mon avis, il est préférable de ne pas rebondir, en quelque sorte, mais de terminer dans le plus humble recueillement...
Chapeau bas Monsieur, quand sait la difficulté qu'implique la maîtrise de cette oeuvre éternelle à savoir, la conduite des voix ! et oeuvre non pianistique à l'origine. Bravo et respect. Ps: très très peu de pianistes osent jouer cette oeuvre en public.
I've been listening to this beautiful piece for over 60 years, and I've never heard a better performance of it. I kind of like the extra 2 notes he adds to the end, too.
@@allthumbs3792 OK, well I just did, and it's also a very good performance. Goldstein changes up his tempo just a bit more, and, unfortunately the piano had some minor tuning issues with the unisons of one of the notes (I'm a retired piano tech, so maybe I'm a little fussy about things like that), so this Despax performance is still my favorite.
You should see/listen to Alon Goldstein's recording on this piece on TH-cam. There is something very different about his interpretation of the piece that makes it stand out from all the rest of the recordings I've heard. I think the difference is mainly in his tempo and expression. His performance reveals a deep understanding of the piece, and of a personal connection to it as well which is rare in the interpretation of classical music today. th-cam.com/video/uKq5IcBFyeQ/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Oh! so heavenly triplet Music it is. beautiful, graceful and brillante. always I would feel triplet is so mysterious touch for Japanese. veryvery difficult. Occasionally, I would love to listen to Wilhelm Kempff and David Qualey by guitar. (92yrs.Japanese. )
1. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring Holy wisdom, love most bright 2. Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring Soar to uncreated light 3. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned. With the fire of life impassioned. Striving still to truth unknown Soaring, dying round Thy throne 4. Through the way where hope is guiding, Hark, what peaceful music rings.
It's a fairly easy piece, actually. The left hand does very little. The right hand is a slow pace with easy stretches, and it's a short repetitive work that's easy enough to memorize. Even I can play it, and I'm a musical idiot. ;) Still he plays it very well.
@@dr.mikeybee it's not an easy piece. You think you can play it but you probably overpedal it and don't do any voicing. Let's hear you play it with the upper line legato, little pedal, and the proper voicings in the chorale parts.
@@pianoplaynight straight facts, its an easy piece to play badly which he probably does. It takes a lifetime of training to reach this level of performance
@@dr.mikeybee I can get play this too, it is not an easy piece. The right hand is actually very active. It sounds simple, but it is not! It is so easy to mess up!
@@rothschildianum Of course a Master plays better than a novice. Nevertheless, compared to other works in the repertoire, it's relatively easy. After all, it's not exactly Gaspard De La Nuit. I'm not arguing that it isn't played well here. In fact, I said the opposite. I just think don't think it's a difficult piece. The fingering is very natural with easy runs and arpeggios. At least I find it to be relatively easy. And yes, I play it badly, but better than a lot of other pieces that I find much more difficult.
It's beautiful, but the faux orgasm-face so many musicians insist on doing makes me cringe. I mean, yes... it's very nice music, but it's not THAT nice.

400 years - and it still keeps this magic and will keep it forever. Thank you Johann Sebastian
You missed by whole hundred
Wow. Perfection. That would make the great Myra Hess smile. You know, there is classical music. And, there is Bach.
So many beautiful lines in this piece. Bach is by far my favorite composer and this is my favorite rendition. You can see the raw emotion. Wow!

ALMOST as divine as Alon Goldstein’s ethereal encore performance. Skillful but somewhat hurried in parts and a bit too heavy.
@Peter Rabbit - you’re right! Goldstein’s performance is unequaled.
Wow, truly a standard has been set. Such talent is rare and always appreciated !
Thumbs up to your shepherd
A special piece, beautifully played
Thanks for sharing your talent and playing my favourite music perfectly...
Every note & chord, measure played perfectly with meaning....Thank you!
his face was playing "Veni Veni Emmanuel" if you know what i mean
I've been listening to this beautiful piece for over 60 years, and I've never heard a better performance of it. I kind of like the extra 2 notes he adds to the end, too.
Then you’ve not heard Alon Goldstein’s encore performance on TH-cam!

I don’t like those two notes
@@gustavocortesmunizaga814 Who cares?
Oh! so heavenly triplet Music it is. beautiful, graceful and brillante.
always I would feel triplet is so mysterious touch for Japanese. veryvery difficult.
Occasionally, I would love to listen to Wilhelm Kempff and David Qualey by guitar. (92yrs.Japanese. )
This piece sings like a nightingale! Beautiful!
bloody marvellous
Great restraint
Anyone know of anyone who can play this piece with a banjo?
The best performance ive heard, with perfect tempo and dynamics. Even weissenberg and Lipatti could not reach this level.
Lipatti’s version is divine.
I think it's the Fazioli piano.
as they say about tastes they don’t argue, but in my opinion, the Dinu Lipatti is excellent.
@MorTobXD Agreed this is beautifully done, but I preferred Goldstein's version
Goldstein and Lipatti would have acclaimed this genious playing, I am sure.
Holy.
Listen to the interpretation by Alexis Weissemberg!!!!
I really appreciate the dexterity applied in this piece . I wish to attain such , even better.
Beautiful

Fantastic tone. Fazioli sounds Angelic.
L'interprétation est magnifique, sensible, pas trop rapide...
J'ai assisté à celle de Nikita Magaloff en concert...
Mes deux préférées...
Nice voicing.
Not bad. 😐
Excellent.
Hermosa interpretación 😊👏❤️
So beautiful Thanks so much for your excellent performance!
Genial ......

Myra Hess

Exactly !
The lower registers makes this piece memorable!
Gorgeous. 🥲🙏

Bach, I love you!
Too fast and too loud.
Wow !
