The Prelude & Fugue in F minor (very first piece in this track) is one of the best I have ever heard; the improvisation on the theme afterwards gave me chills ....
Thanks so much for uploading all four of these wonderful albums and for bringing joy to an old jazz lover who, incidentally, is a big Bach fan too. Thanks too for being considerate enough to list the pieces played in all four uploads
@@jamesroecker6436 I had a chance meeting a John Lewis friend and musical partner. I came with the Chopin subject when talking about Lewis' fascinating work, how he rebuilt Bach's WTK and why he never had a similar attempt with Chopin. The answer was as follows, a time issue at first, rewriting the WTK was a life project, old John dedicated all his " free" time to this project. The second part of the answer was from Lewis' words, no one can equal Vladimir Sofronitsky playing Chopin...one is an ignoramus but can only agree.
Gracias Hamed por permitirnos escuchar estas bellezas que llegan a lo mas profundo del alma. No tengo palabras para expresar mi alegria, solo esta: Gracias !!!!!!!!! desde Buenos Aires
I feel that J Lewis doesn't have the verve of J Loussier interpretation of JSBach..more a sombre approach.. but still he remains one of my favourite pianists.. He sits better with his Bach presentations within the MJQ... Harvey Perkoff
BONJOUR HAMED, merci pour cette difusion, c'est absolument magnifique ! je cherche les DISC VINYLS de ces albums, j'ai trouvé le volume un, mais saurais tu où je peux trouver les autres ? Anne, paris
Bonjour Anne, je ne saurais te dire pour les vinyles. Peut-etre au Jazz corner rue de Navarre mais j'en doute fort. Je te conseilerai bien dusty groove, on trouve de tout dans leur immense collection en fouillant, mais c'est a Chicago.
I thank you for uploading this remarkable work, however, with all due resect, I find it distasteful to praise one artist that you admire by condemning other artists that you do not appreciate. It exaggerates negative emotions and turns music that was (usually) meant to inspire love, joy and understanding into a dividing issue filled with hate and anger. Certainly you can agree that if music can uplift the spirit for some you shouldn't be so judgemental of that. Please continue praising the artists that you love, without judging the preferences of others.
Most of the "anger" is against medias, especially Pareles who really smashed the Lewis' work. So I'm doing for him. Well he's Pareles and one is only a youtuber, fair enough.
Uri Tibon I hope you never overhear what musicians really think of certain of their peers. The opinions voiced are much harsher than anything appearing here.
Souvent,a la premiere ecoute, on trouve un album mauvais, et puis lors des essais suivants, on découvre des qualités. Ici, plus j'j'écoute,plus je trouve mauvais
sorry but Jacques loussier s trio playbach is A thousand miles supérior he has recreated Bach. is jlewis thé one of the No quartet. that was great!!!! There is no soul here. just tricks. gimmicks very sad!!!
I bought some of Loussier's recordings several years ago. I even listen to his trio from time to time. It's a matter of taste of course but..how to says that, Loussier is for the third stream what are the Gipsy Kings for the Flamenco music.
Thank you so much for posting these gems. These are my favorite interpretations of these works.
Thanks-a-lot for uploading these great albums!! very interesting and relaxing music, by a great pianist and composer

Beautiful D
Did he ever do anything with Chopin's compositions? Can you imagine the beauty?

Thanks so much for uploading this incredible music. It's the only one of the four Bach CDs John Lewis made that I wasn't able to find anywhere.

+Alberto Josè Cacurri No hay de què. Con mucho gusto desde Tlemcen, to todos compatriotas de Bernarda Fink i Carmen Piazzini^^.

Good-Better-Best of Best

ジョンたらバッハなんかやっちゃてと秋吉敏子は残念がっていましたが、ジョンのバッハは心にストンとお血でくるんですね！彼だけは許されるじゃないでしょうか。

Agree. This is particularly true if you compare Loussier version of the goldberg variations to Lewis. Lewis version is a misery.
When you listen to Loussier's version of brandenbourg concerto n2 with the royal philharmonic orchesta, you quickly forget Lewis
C'est absolument nul
