Alessandro Deljavan delivers a highly creative, though unconventional interpretation of these Bach Toccatas. With Bach velocity is a given, so I just don't understand why people here and elsewhere complain about the "speed" of performances. I love the clean, precise execution of trills and other ornaments; as well as, Alessandro's judicious use of the pedal to achieve such beautiful musical edifices. Wouldn't it be much better for all concerned to dispense with comments such as "It's too fast, I don't like it!" Such facile comments reflect jealousy or something else; not really a valid opinion here; it adds nothing!
surely an original interpretation. I am used to listen to Gould and this is so extremely differentm yet interesting and beautiful on its own. Good job. Thank you for posting.
57:34 Les fugues de ces toccatas sont extra, mais il y a aussi des moments très pathétiques, je ne connais pas les noms de ces morceaux... Dans la toccta bwv910 le deuxième morceau est un petit chef-d'oeuvre, on dirait qu'il avait été composé pour le piano !
Es gibt wahrscheinlich > 100 Aufnahmen dieser Stücke. Wenn man sich abheben will, muss man also etwas möglichst deutlich anders machen als die Anderen. Das trifft ganz sicher auf diese Aufnahme zu. Für mich ist es in erster Linie der Beweis, dass Bach´s Musik auch mit noch soviel Individualismus des Interpreten unzerstörbar ist 😊.
Discovered this very talented pianist 3 years ago. His Toccatas are incredibly enjoyable! Listen to them again and again! I hope, that we'll have more Bach recordings of Alessandro! How to get his Goldberg variations on Cd?
For Gould this are war horses. Here it is the pony yard. I think that Bach composed this for his home, as he was not a concert pianist. It may have sounded as Deljavan is playing it in Bach's home. And he is not singing as Gould is always doing. He could not prevent ist, like Colin Davis. Bach was only in his bathtube singing not piano playing.
@@umegghju People venerate Gould because he opened up the world of Bach. Because we love Bach we love Gould. All other interpreters including these trite annoyances by Deljavin only underscore how great Gould is !
@@glenngouldification maybe he opend the world of Bach for people who want a superstar, but there were wery good interpretations of Bach also before Gould and of course after.
I dont want to be a jerk, but this is an insult to Bach work, added notes, added ornaments that are not present in the original scores and that are FAR from what Bach would do and from Baroque.
@Rose Booth Actually I was asking RIERA.His harsh comment makes me think he is a bit narrow minded, either way,besides criticism he should also be able to suggest some decent Bach renditions. I own hundreds of Bach recordings by Angela Hewitt, Andras Schiff,R.Türeck,Ivo Pogorelich, A.Gavrilov and so many others... and of course G. Gould.All of them being great soloists offering their personal standpoint of how to perform J.S.B. works. Neither I stress myself to look for the best nor to express ratings.
I never realized how much room for creativity there is in this music until I heard Alessandro play this so beautifully. Thank you thank you.
Listen please Glenn Gould too
@@nikolaacimovic8854this sound like with influences of Glenn Gould
Du très beau piano, sensible et intérieur. J'aime la beauté du son et l'équilibre des textes. Merci pour cet enchantement !
Grazie per così tanta bellezza ❤
glamour and structure! transcendence spirituelle! wonderful!
Tecnica trascendentale e 8nterpretazione innovativa. Un grande pianista
he captured the nuances of these pieces so well, this is great
Che binomio! Bach Deljavan!!!
This guy is insane! Loved it!!!
Surprise, surprise. He extracts hidden sound and phrases which is exciting, at the same time , the music is authentic and beautiful.
にほん じん, i'm not surprised though, japanese is one of the most quality contries in this せかい, have a good day and greetings from Latvia!
Singing; intensity of focus; captivating at all moments
Madly in love with Bach!!!
Beautifully played. A sensitive touch
Come sempre, artista fantastico.
Tantissimi complimenti ❤
Sei veramente originale e interessante. Mi hai lasciato a bocca aperta. Complimenti

Greatness exposes mediocrity.

moi aussi, je les connais par Glenn Gould, j' ai toujours adoré ces toccatas !
What a gem! Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Indeed, my favorite ones were D maj. And G maj. and min. Ones
Toccata in E minor.... magnificent
Sempre ispirato! Grande il talento di Alessandro Deljavan!
Meravigliosa esecuzione !
Truly golden talent
I love these interpretations, especially the dynamics like piano, and forte that you can't achieve on a harpsichord.
I am enjoying this. Thank you!
Refreshing renditions of an immense composer's
piano works....Valuable upload ✨
this guy is brilliant!
meraviglioso!
Very nice interpretations! Very lively! Good job.
Fantastico!
Fantastico
Great work

In places a bit unconventional interpretation but intereseting a lot.
ma bach non e' una gara..
16:38 fiesta!
rein
How would one go about identifying a particular Toccata without knowing the name?
By the BWV number?
Je n'aime pas du tout. Il fait de Bach un hystérique, un peu illuminé, hyper actif. Je passe mon chemin.
Too fast. PLAYBACK SPEED 0,75--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Armen!!
Даже не буду комментировать!!Это не БАХ.
Don't like it. Prefer Gould much better.

And he is not singing as Gould is always doing. He could not prevent ist, like Colin Davis. Bach was only in his bathtube singing not piano playing.
I have nothing against Gould, but I don't understand why people venerate him so much. I think people like Gould just because they don't like Bach

PD: Glenn would version are also the same, an insult to Bach, but Would`s is less insultive than this version.
I would appreciate any suggestion of a correct rendition of the toccatas on YT....Thanks :-)

In Bach's time adding extra ornaments and improvising on a piece was the norm
