This rendition so perfectly reflects the apparently measured and gentle public nature of this performer. The instrument aids and abets that. There are renditions with more bite, and a harsher tone. Those attributes can really define an interpretation.
Benjamin Alard plays with natural ease and perfect trills. Bravo! The only thing that disturbed a little bit this wonderful ease was at the beginning of the Fugue with one hand while the other one turned the page. He could turned it first and then begin the Fugue. It is not important musically but from the aesthetics point of view. Anyway, I enjoyed both the performance and the upload as a whole. Thanks.
@@gregoirelaugraud8371 I thought about this possibility and you could have been right, if he was in a live, unedited recital, and would go straight from the Prelude to the Fugue ("attacca"). That was not the case. In any case - this is a tiny non important point and his whole performance was very good.
Glenn Gould also holds the whole note before starting the trill, but from the get-go, and for much longer that it's unsettling for anyone familiar with the piece. BA's interpretation is more measured and makes sense. Not sure I like the trill at the end, which for me upsets the feeling of resignation and resolution.

It is good to see the next generation to Koopman, Hogwood and Pinock is on the way.
Hmmm maybe... what do you think?
1. Landowska -->
2. G. Malcolm, R. Puyana, G. Leonhardt, Ruzickova, Veyron-Lacroix -->
3/4. Koopman, Pinnock, Hogwood, Gilberth, Mortensen, Curtis, Asperen, Christie -->
3/4. Hantai, Ross, Egarr, Belder, Staier, Sempe, Hill ->
5. Corti, J. Taylor, Rondeau, Alard, Cuiller, etc etc
@@ruperttmls7985 I agree. The fifth generation looks quite promising.
Controlled, thoughtful, brilliant performance
Lovely! What a beautiful instrument!
Yes, such wonderful sonority, modern instruments got nothing on this!

Maybe if he did it he think this is musically important
