Johann Sebastian Bach - Französische Suite No.2 c-moll BWV 813 (piano), performed by Elena Kuschnerova at Elisabeth Conservatory of Music, Hiroshima, on 14 May 2011
Elena Kuschnerova is one of our finest living pianists. Everything she plays is at the highest level - musically, technically, and spiritually. Her Bach, in particular, is a uniquely wonderful experience.
LoverOfDebussy I noticed that yesterday - first time I have heard her - playing c mol prelude and fugue WTK - several more after that. Somehow struck me that she played as Bach himself might have done. I’ll have to check and see if she plays Handel’s keyboard suites - she appears to have exactly the right spirit for them.
We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy such eloquent playing as this. So sad that JSB himself is not here to share. I think he would have revelled in the modern era. How could someone who composed such pieces as he did for the organ not have loved the modern piano?
Elegance, fine diction, a sense of modesty before majesty, capturing Bach's seemingly easy, but not slight, switch of pace, tune and rhythm, with those enlivening riffs, trills and asides, all of which endure with such vibrancy for ever.
Maria Peres and Richter also performed this Beautifully. The Allemande can be performed at my funeral... “Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by!”
Wonderfully musical game Elena. That's how Bach must be - always a beautiful vocal line above all else. The tempi you play exactly like Gould - very good. Great art.
What heavenly, gifted interpretations of The Master’s works! I’m excited to be able to download her entire catalog on my IPhone via Apple Music! Praise The Lord!

Does not appear to - pity!
What a great rendition of Bach!

Une experte mais est-ce de la musique ?
Suite Francesa N°2 J.S.Bach
No variation at all in the prepeats! whats the point of playing the repeats then?
блин куда то периодически заносит, неровно....это мешает слушать, ведь моментов хороших много
To fast
Pleasant enough, but Tatiana Nikolayeva's performance of the suite dwarfs this.
Tatiana Nikolayeva's performance is very similar. I have the recording.
Too fast
Agreed. I like the tempo of Andras Schiff interpretation better.
Sooo monoton :(
