Fray is a master at communicating the essence of Bach. Simple yet magnificent, difficult yet simple. Clarity alongside every little contrapuntal nuance. One of my favourite pianists.
Музыка, по-моему это состояние души, не каждый музыкант может воплотить "в жизнь" свое восприятие гения Баха. Давид уже в этом уникален , мне близок его Бах. Низкий тебе поклон, Давид, за твое творчество.
I play this at least twice a week. I feel as if I am transported to heaven and out of my wheel chair . David Fray is a genius and his timing is magic , we are lucky to listen to this thanks to David and Bach !
Fray has an insight into Bach and the incredible talent to translate those subtleties and strengths like no other Bach performer before. His understanding of the dichotomy of Bach's remarkable & austere form & structure along with the crazy jubilation and human recklessness is so empathetically expressed. Thank you David!
Les partitas pour clavier de Bach sont des monuments de l'histoire de la musique et démontrent une fois de plus l'incomparable génie du compositeur et David Fray en parle avec beaucoup de passion!superbe!
David Fray"s integrity as a pianist shines through his passionate commitment to performing Bach's masterpieces with the highest possible skill. It is intensely moving & worthy of the greatest respect.
"I don't think a greater genius has walked the earth. Of the 3 great composers Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven and Bach tells us what it's like to be the *Universe."* - Douglas Adams
He played it so well, the Allemande and the Sarabande sounded like such sweet and tender prayers to God, why not? Bach had such flame of faith and Fray delivered that prayer to God through our hearts; right through it. Thank you so much
David Fray is the one person alive today that knows the most Bach in the entire planet. Astonishing how he understands the music at such a deep level and is able to get his insight through to the listener.
Absolutely the best interpreter of Bach’s ideas, romanticism and sensuality. Bach’s humanity has his representative!!. David Fray’s knowledge of musical history and his approach to sound will give the world magnificent interpretations for many years to come!!
Landowska once said that we should not be intimidated by Bach and that we should instead learn to embrace his humanity and his piety. I think Fray has succeeded in doing so and more.
I have never loved the piano more after hearing this beautiful pianoist. He plays it in a way that I have never heard before. It's indescribably superbly crafted, expressed with clarity and nuances I never knew the piano had. Thankyou Your gift is exquisite and I can't wait to buy your CD. Fascinating to watch too. 🤗
Beautiful! He's a classical pianist who comes after Gould, so he benefits from what Gould recorded and Gouldian wisdom. Fray pays tribute to Gould in this fresh youthful interpretation of well-known Bach works.
Merci beaucoup David Fray de nous décrire votre interprétation de ce morceau, cela aide beaucoup à mémoriser les mélodies. Au delà de ça, un jeu maîtrisé et surtout (très important pour Bach) très constant.
Fray is an amazing pianist and his understanding of Bach is beautiful. I love the way he plays. We cannot compare him to Gould because these two great pianists are so different but both very good in my opinion
@@thelazyscholar2037 I understand want you are saying. Of course Gould is THE best pianist and the authority on Bach and no one can come close to the way he played Bach, it was phenomenal! But I am nicely surprised by Fray, I find he is very good and I enjoy listening to him also. Have a good day! :)
If you can play the partitas to perfection and with a soul, you can play Bach. He definitely pass this test! Wonderful performance, great voice clarity and expression.
David Fray nous fait penser à Glenn Gould, et David est un tout merveilleux interprète au piano, tout particulièrement de J.S. Bach et famille, où il excèle. Grand pianiste interprète des principales oeuvres pianistiques universelles.
Le 2 E mouvement , me fait penser à un murmure, à une parole profonde et très douce , que Bach nous adresse. Je sens très proche de ce que dit ce pianiste sur Bach.J ai remarqué aussi que beaucoup de personnes qui disent ne pas aimer le classique, changent très vite d avis des qu ils entendent Bach.❤❤❤❤❤
Tiene los mejores matizes que haya escuchado .. y una técnica inegualable , parejo en las dos manos .. y muy expresivo , es de los mejores pianistas del mundo
I sense that Gould must have had a strong influence on the exceptionally gifted David Fray. Where he significantly differs from Gould however is through the ravishing cantabile tone he so naturally produces. One of the few contemporary young pianists who engages me from first note to last.
He's so very,very good, one of the best Bach performers of our time!! I see 4 people disliking, they know better I asume? Man, how can you dislike this great pianist, he's the resurrection of Glenn Gould, and personally I find he's better dan Gould.
Bach, homme des Lumières, voulaient éduquer tout en divertissant. C'est peut-être ce qui fait dire à certains que si l'art est l'équilibre entre le cœur et la raison, c'est chez Bach où l'on retrouve le plus cet équilibre, rigueur et sensualité, et quant aux motivations religieuses, mon ressenti est analogue à celui de l'interprète sur ce point. Bravo David Fray.
Very good playing and it seems he has put a lot of thought into his approach to Bach.I can only imagine how much better he would sound if he sung the voices in the left hand more.
Notice, no score in front of him... and the most hauntingly delicate touch... I have hope...can you imagine the years of hard work and practising this represents?
Мне очень понравилось исполнение. Давида. Фрея. Он очень деликатно относится к звуку. Также чувствуется его особое отношение к акустике. Благодарю. Вас за видео.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Simplement formidable, David. J'aime beaucoup la musique de Bach et elle me semble encore plus belle lors qui jouée par toi. Mes félicitations et merci beaucoup pour copartager.
Partita 2 0:30 Sinfonia I 5:48 Saraband IV 10:05 Capriccio VI Fray's commentary overlays the beginning of all three movements. For IV and VI the comments are restricted to the first section, which is then repeated (as the score demands). Fray also repeats the second section (as the score demands). The repeats are not ornamented (Nor are Argerich's; compare to Anderszewski's repeats in IV (TH-cam has Partita 2 for both).)
-- so perhaps the video editor felt nothing was lost by the overlays in IV and VI. Who was it (some harpsichordist) that quipped that you might as well hit the re-run button on your tape recorder if Bach's repeats are not varied!
Un ami m'a dit un jour que Bach avait tout inventé... Depuis quelques années où je me suis mis sérieusement au piano avec un toucher lourd, je comprends mieux.
As played in this video, this interpretation far far far superior to the one I heard last night at the Wiener Konzerthaus. If you see this comment, Mr. Fray, please play this piece more like this and less like last night (prestissssssssimo- where, continually accelerating, it sounded like you were going to sprout a rocket out of your rear end and blast through the ceiling)! However, the 6th partita was wonderfully played...and anything at slow tempo (including this piece) outstanding...
OMG...You had the privilege of having seen David Fray not just play...but play BACH...and you are complaining!? Flew to Chicago last mo just for him performing Chopin w/CSO...would never DREAM of complaining!!
I am a producer and recording engineer of some renown. I am very interested the the recording techniques used in your recordings. Your recording quality is stellar. Especially curios about your microphones, placement and sample rates etc. Your recording engineer is , like you, a rare talent. I am currently recording in immersive surround for VR. Have considered recording in this format? Your work moves me🎶🎯
There is an interview in the midle. The title is a bit misleading, no Partita 6 here and no Toccata, There are, however, movement 1,2 & 6 from Partita 2.
Surely! The Romantic period has not the monopoly of the expressiveness, but in the Baroque there was a completely different concept of what expressiveness is: here we doesn' t find the ardour of Bach, the baroque grandeur, or the intense spirituality, but only cold digital abilities. Expressiveness is another thing.
I think that David, at the end, is saying beautiful words on the gigue that closes the 6th partita while the video shows him playing the capriccio that closes the 2nd partita. Who put together the video made a mistake?
better here than in his album, because when we come closer to the piano the sound does not resonate too much (i barely can hear the left hand in the album i have with all this echo..
David Fray looks like the twin brother of Lucy Akhurst when she appeared as "Countess Therese von Brunswick" in the BBC movie about the Eroica Symphony!

One of my favorite Bach's partitas played magnificently by this young virtuoso pianist, one hundred percent J.S. Bach, well done!
I have simply never heard Bach like this.
There s a beauty of heart and mind in every movement.
I think, Fray is one of the most performer on Bach music...only after Glenn...Really I like his point of view. Simply Exquisite!
Listening to him playing Bach feels like becoming connected with the universe.

Когда его слушаю, то вспоминаю Глена Гульда, но Давид Фрай исполняет ещё харизматичнее , полифония безукоризненная и душа поёт от каждой фразы!♥️♥️♥️
Un bonheur sans mélange, à écouter encore et encore !
Merci beaucoup David Fray de nous décrire votre interprétation de ce morceau, cela aide beaucoup à mémoriser les mélodies.
Au delà de ça, un jeu maîtrisé et surtout (très important pour Bach) très constant.
On ne parle plus de dévouement mais de DÉVOTION à ce niveau là... David continuez à nous éblouir avec ce jeu solaire et inspiré...
Fray is an amazing pianist and his understanding of Bach is beautiful. I love the way he plays. We cannot compare him to Gould because these two great pianists are so different but both very good in my opinion
Yes… You cannot compare him to Gould. He’s not half the pianist that Gould is.
@@thelazyscholar2037 I understand want you are saying. Of course Gould is THE best pianist and the authority on Bach and no one can come close to the way he played Bach, it was phenomenal!

Очень оригинальная интерпретация как и все его исполнения. Всё - интерпретации... Замечательный исполнитель!
La passion et le grain de folie d'Argerich + l'intelligence, la vision de Gould = Fray!!!
Avis partagé....
Bach c'est un astre dans l'univers et David Fray, par sa lumineuse interprétation, le rejoint.
Perfection! Bach's beautiful music played in a beautiful church by a beautiful young pianist. Merci beaucoup!
David...Wonderfull,amasing ,Greate.Completly,and natural,best of best..
He is for me a nr.1 Pianist on Planet Earth,amasing !

The most delicate left hand...just superb
gonzo1461 luis conceicao
indeed
La douce lumière dans l'église, le piano, les vitraux, Bach et David, exquis artiste qui m'embarque vers les nuages...
When I hear him playing Bach, it makes me experience time in the right pace.

+Abraham Mulder
I agree with you! No one is playing the "Capriccio" better than Fray! Not even Argerich!
His performance of Bach is to me an act of worship.
Bach is worship!
He's great. So inspiring as I'm working on the allemande of the second french suite, my first 'real' Bach piece. I'm absolutely sold on Bach
Abraham Mulder I don't say he is bad, at all. But don't compete anyone to Gould, please.
Bach et je rêve....en profondeur ! David Fray joue si bien, on sent en lui une inspiration extrême !
pure genius...the both of them!!!!! transformative!!!
Bach lives again through this pianist's communicative mind and fingers. Wonderful!

Extraordinaria interpretación de David Fray .
bravo in such a felt and profound piece
David... Pure genius... Best of best... Wonderfull...
Very good playing and it seems he has put a lot of thought into his approach to Bach.I can only imagine how much better he would sound if he sung the voices in the left hand more.
That's right, he had me focused on the right hand lines...
Right!
Notice, no score in front of him... and the most hauntingly delicate touch... I have hope...can you imagine the years of hard work and practising this represents?

Magnifique...

Joyeaux Anniversaire Maestro David Fray💐24 Mai, 2018
I love his playing and like what he says.
Гениально...
C’est jubilatoire, David nous transporte dans un univers musical 🎵 Comme GlennGould
Un ami m'a dit un jour que Bach avait tout inventé... Depuis quelques années où je me suis mis sérieusement au piano avec un toucher lourd, je comprends mieux.

Flew to Chicago last mo just for him performing Chopin w/CSO...would never DREAM of complaining!!
Fingers, style, closed to Glenn. One of best performer Bach
Partita no.2 in C minor BWV 826, perfetta.
maravilloso magnifico!!
Merci
merveilleux phrasé!
qui se donne à entendre et ne force jamais l'écoute: il donne aux lignes une clarté, une simplicité...
fabuleux

es lo más significativo para mi. Gracias
There is an interview in the midle. The title is a bit misleading, no Partita 6 here and no Toccata, There are, however, movement 1,2 & 6 from Partita 2.
Sinfonia starts at 0:30
Yes sorry I forgot to write that there is movement 1 from Partita no.2 at 00:30. I edit the entry. Still, no Toccata or Partita 6?
Wow! Fabulous!

Utterly Superb
amazing.........
Capriccio of the c minor Partita was machine-perfect.
David, be sure! Glenn is very proud of you!
sublime...
Merveille!!!!! Fantastique!!!!!!! Jouez encore au Japon SVP!!!!
he is gorgeus!!!
better here than in his album, because when we come closer to the piano the sound does not resonate too much (i barely can hear the left hand in the album i have with all this echo..
Genius.
Замечательный музыкант!
like i said one cannot put words to God or music
Sublime
Super vidéo mais problème de synchro son sur les parties interviews !!!
Гений!
lucious!
David Fray looks like the twin brother of Lucy Akhurst when she appeared as "Countess Therese von Brunswick" in the BBC movie about the Eroica Symphony!
Ein Traum 😍
great!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer Gould practicing this piece in his robe accompanied by his dog. (see clip on youtube).
He looks and sounds like a well balanced version of Glen Gould.
Lebanon ❤️🇱🇧❤️
Fray nails Bach as usual ..... Bach himself would have liked it 😉
