I've lost count how many times I replay this video continuously... still can't stop.. Too precious, too breath-taking. A Baroque composer, Romantic arranger, and modern performer.... share the same soul, music has no time boundary, the magic penetrates through hundred of years ago, thousand of miles away...
My most appreciated regards to this Great Master. It is impressive the deep sense he has of this piece. There is so much to learn from him, and from his performing. Thanks for such beautiful performance.
This is the best piano version ever. Bach sounds here as Bach should sound. No any "bells and whistles", plain and hasteless - just beautiful as it is.
@@JumpDiffusion I agree. That "not in the score" part ruined Mina Ma's comment for me. The other part - particularly the mention of the Lipatti version - is something I can feel deeply. Lipatti somehow is on some other plane. Some kind of magic - a transparency - th-cam.com/video/pjf63E69HsY/w-d-xo.html But that is subjective - and I wouldn't want to diminish anybody's pleasure in hearing Socolov's interpretation.
The speed is so perfect that I have no doubt whatsoever that Bach played it himself at the organ at this speed. It's an amazing experience when you get that feeling.
Aaron Copland stated that this piece is the perfect example of a polkyphonic music, and the best way to listen it is to concentrate first in the soprano voice, then start again an concentrate in the bass. Only then, you would be able to listen the full sound emerging from the plyphonia. Mr. Sokolov, whom I had the pleasure to listen at the Festival of Tarruella (Girona), summer 2018, is a wonderful player for Bach, although not a specialist, for he is able to combine Chpin and Brhams, so on, with Bach; not many pianists could fornt that challenge. Fantastic pianist!.
Dio ci ha donato attraverso l'anima eccelsa di Bach queste note, strappate ai cieli e agli angeli perché qualcuno in questo mondo distratto ne potesse gioire. God gave us these notes through the sublime soul of Bach, torn from the heavens and angels so that someone in this distracted world could enjoy them.
Sokoloff is an excellent Bach interpreter; he plays it the way he feels it, and the result is deeply moving. He is not distracted by cries of 'you're playing it wrong'. from certain quarters.
This is definitely not the Busoni transcription, as stated above. This in the Kempff version (published in 1954 by Bote & Bock), which has different embellishments and a few different notes, and is 4 measures shorter than the Busoni transcription. The Busoni version repeats the last section another time, down one octave.
Yes, and it is metrically correct, which is what bothers me about the Busoni, with the rolled chords that take too much time, and destroy the beautiful phrasing of Bach's piece.
Absolut ueberragend ! Der Klang des Klaviers naehert sich "geistig" dem Orgelton.-Unglaublich diese Art von Versenkung in einem oeffentlichen Konzert.Man kann nur sprachlos dasitzen.
Astroedic, I can't thank you enough. Your comment has opened a wonderful door for me, that pianist is a new legend and I found him extremely inspirational and a great model to follow as well as pianists like Sokolov. Thanks
I have no words. This is the very first time to listen to this magnificent piece and I feel like my feelings are being released in the air. Classical music is a very precious gift gave by God to humanity. I would appreciate if anyone could send me the music sheet. Thank you.

Magnificent interpretation! I also prefer this version (Kempff) to Busoni's. The repetition at the end in the Busoni version has nothing to add in my feeling.
Превосходное исполнение, как и большинство исполнений Г. Л. Соколова. К сожалению, мне кажется, что в названии допущена ошибка - это транскрипция не Бузони, а Вильгельма Кемпфа.

あまりにも美しい響きに、涙がでます🎶😥❤️素晴らしい演奏の配信をありがとうございました✌️😉👍🎶
Sokolov achieves an ideal separation between melody and accompaniment.

Virginia Tsoi excellent assessment...
Totally agree!
Beautiful comment and I could not agree with you more. Breathtaking indeed!
Inmortal
Thank you Solokov. Thank you.
He's moving the keys telepathically, this is the skill you'd eventually gain when you play the piano for over 50 years at sublime level.
What a fine interpretation, played so masterly and with such delicacy.
The ending in major sends chill to me
Потрясающее исполнение!!! Одно из лучших!!! Спасибо❤️

Thanks for such beautiful performance.
simply magnificent
Удивительный и несравненный. Божественный во всем , что звучит у него!
Когда слушаешь Соколова, с первого чаруущего звука, все вокруг меняется, впадаешь в магическую ауру.... Гений!!!

Complete agrree with you. Simple, quiet and just beautiful.
JoieNsk i completely agree !!a touch of perfection here!!🎶❤
@Mini Ma and why is that necessary not play anything that's not in the score?

Absolutely unbelievable!
... Das ist schlicht ein Traum ! Wundervoll ...
思わず涙が溢れてきてしまいました。
魂に響く演奏。
ソコロフさんの音色、大好きです。
What a fabulous trio:- J S Bach , Busoni, and Sokolov !
it's like he's playing it the exact way it meant to be played
Sounds like perfection, incarnate...
May God blees your heart Grigory, as you have blessed ours with your music.
Merci Grazie Gracias Thank you Sokolov . Emozionante fino alle lacrime
Breathtakingly beautiful!
THIS IS THE BEST Bach-Busoni Ich ruf zu dir I've ever heard on youtube!
Sokolov=genius. Thank you.
IMO Sokolov is one of the Top Five pianists in the world. What a pity it is that he doesn't tour in the USA anymore.
The speed is so perfect that I have no doubt whatsoever that Bach played it himself at the organ at this speed. It's an amazing experience when you get that feeling.

Sokolov ist und bleibt ein würdiger Nachfolger der bereits verstorbenen Giganten der Klavierspielkunst!
What an expression.
Lovely!
mamma mia che pianista è Sokolov... non ho parole
elios
Che dici......il più grande vivente?
Penso a Lui e a Pletnev.....molti pensano a Loro due.
Marco Rotondi
è riduttivo metterlo tra i più grandi viventi. Per me tra i viventi è di gran lunga il più bravo ed è tra i primi di sempre
Sokoloff is an excellent Bach interpreter; he plays it the way he feels it, and the result is deeply moving. He is not distracted by cries of 'you're playing it wrong'. from certain quarters.
Gracias por mostrarme este vide tan maraviloso
B R A V O Mr. Sokolov! 🥰😍😍🤩
Thanks God ! We are SO LUCKY to be contemporary of this GENIUS MUSICIAN !
Hail to MASTER SOKOLOV !
Unglaublich solch eine Vertiefung in einem oeffentlichen Konzert zu erreichen.Herr Sokolov befindet sich in einer anderen Welt.

Where can I find a copy of this version.? They all seem to be by Busoni. Thanks in advance
@@grzegorzwojcik3609 Thank you so very much!
He told me it's his transcription.
tyvm, I wondered why Hewitt plays it instead of the richer and more 'beautiful' Busoni
you are right, this is amazing!

One just can sit there and listen in awe.- Mr. Bach,Mr. Sokolov,to which planet do you belong ?
Exquisite.
What more can I say?
amazing!!
beautiful as usual
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful piece of music
вечность бытия и музыки

Wonderful playing.
Still the benchmark!!!

Que ce pianiste m'intrigue.
Il joue extrêmement bien et transmet tout son affect dans cette pièce.
very good rendition !!!!
Outstanding!
Super!
great music, great pianist, wonderfull
Creates an Amazing sense of standing still,,,,almost an illusion of calm,yet another great artist from the russian school,,,,
Magnifica interpretación.
MIRACULOUS! TY A for posting.
Das ist einfach göttlich! SOkolov meets Bach - two "gods"...
Such a beauty.
Mr. SOKOLOV ! Tous mes respects...
Out of this world!

@Dougol1 Horowitz,Lipatti,Sokolov : Outstanding.-
Tatiana Nikolayeva : HEARTBREAKING.-
Magnificent interpretation! I also prefer this version (Kempff) to Busoni's. The repetition at the end in the Busoni version has nothing to add in my feeling.
Tha man's a genius, that's it, nothing left to say. His interpretations are devine...
A truly beautiful piece. I.m sure Bach would be most impressed by Busoni's transcription.
Wonderful
grandiose!@!★★★
commovente e stupendo
great!
Splendide dans la digne lignée de D. Lipatti. Quel talent !
5*
Beauté pure...!
Perfect.
Lipatti -- wonderful; at least as good.
c'est beau!
Antonio, this is the Kempff transcription of Ich ruf zu dir. :)
Fabulous, nevertheless!
He's not moving at all. Great economy of motion!
LOL!!
@gonrolgonrol
Hello !
I am stunned about the sound he produces.
Incomprehensible !
a pianist.
Bach un apostolo senza dubbio.
Unusually clearly...
Необыкновенно ясно..

I know him but I did not know this performance....
What a sound,isn't it.
Thanks

belleza absoluta

Превосходное исполнение, как и большинство исполнений Г. Л. Соколова. К сожалению, мне кажется, что в названии допущена ошибка - это транскрипция не Бузони, а Вильгельма Кемпфа.
да, это несомненно Кемпф
Есть две исполняемые транскрипции: Бузони и Регера....это Регера.У Бузони удлинённая каденция (послушайте Николаеву)
True that. Kempff it is...
Bliss!
you have a good taste!
here you hear Bach/Sokolov together.
Simply in this case Bach lives through Sokolov.
I think, that is the miracle of Sokolov's all performences .
Marche funebre and wedding march at the same time. Only JS Bach can do that.
@tovstenko true its magic there..
Como se nota la diferencia entre un gran maestro como Sokolov y los lan lan de turno,asiáticos etc
淚流天主慈愛
this version and the Nikolayeva enhance each other
@lebendebilder
And What a COMPOSITION !!
Do you know which earth this is..Our earth ?

Der "Trick" von Sokolov besteht darin gewisse Toene extrem lange zu halten,wodurch ein orgelaehnlicher Klang entsteht.-Absolut ueberragend.
@jjp009 Yes, there are some ornaments that aren't written by Busoni. Beautiful.
I love pianists/musicians, who see the composer in the focus, and not their interpretation...
