A man who understands Bach and isn't bothered bij performance 'rules' is a gift
Божественная музыка, не знаю ничего лучше ,чем музыка Баха....исполнение космическое ...
i love how he always improvise on his pieces. Every classical pianist should be doing that.
Yeah this man made the Classical/Baroque piano fun, the summer vibes
Yes he is playing with Bach !
So check my channel. :)
Extraordinaria claridad en las frases, la sonoridad intensa hacia tiempo que no escuchaba una interpretación tan sobria
Great performance! The Fugue is rarely played with such a joy and magesty!
The cadence at 5:19 is so sweet!
Bach such a gift to music.
I cannot stop listening to this!
So wonderful. Can't get over from this recording
Refreshingly romantic interpretation. It's good to see Bach recordings that at least try to improvise even for a little bit.
0:08 Toccata
1:20 Adagio
3:57 Fuga I.
6:48 Fuga II.
Oh my God what a performance Bravo! This piece and performance is my cocaine. I cannot get enough of it!
I usually compile both
Du très grand Bach. Très grands bravo et merci !!!
Et pourtant, c'était le petit Bach à l'œuvre !
World class interpretation and playing!
Cyprien! Hi! It's been awhile! So good to hear you again! I was turned on to 911 yesterday and I had heard three people do it. But, now I've heard how it REALLY goes! I love everything you do, especially the Beethoven symphony reductions, but Bach is my favorite! Thank you!
Clear voicing! Thanks for sharing this beautiful interpretation!
This is probably the most difficult keyboard piece written in the 18th century!
Maestro Katsari!
Siempre aprendo de usted!
Fantastic acoustics.
Complimenti davvero! An amazing esecution!
Maravillosa transcripción...
Wonderful!!!!!
I AM IN HEAVEN, CONGRATS.
Exquisite!
Oh what a great interpretation ! I think I prefer the adagio played a bit slower, not Gould slower tho, let's say Argerich slower. I love when the gentle bittersweetness glows out of every note. But this Fugue ! It's so inspiring, thank you so much. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this toccata in particuliar - because being obsessed with Bach in general seems very understandable. I'm so obsessed that I decided to try to play it even if I had completely stopped playing piano at 17 (I'm 37 now). My very small and unexperienced hands are struggling with some bits but this interpretation of the fugue motivates me to continue until I get enough ease to become playful and have fun with it.
Beautiful piece, and very beautiful Interpretation, I can't stop listening! The fuge is so full of energy. And why complaining about the annotations in the score? We all know they are not from Bach, and everyone is free to ignore them. Actually, I like the score because it seems quite clear and readible - does anyone know where it is available/published?
I know this comment is from 3 years ago, but here is the score: imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/109380/nek
It isn't the same score but is very similar
I’m learning this 😊
Very romantic performance, but oh so beautiful!
Elegance. :-)
Beautiful
Great performance!!! Pure Baroque
Does anyone know what brand and model of piano is used here?
KATSARIS è un pianista che ha raggiungo il leggendario titolo di "pianista virtuoso" (LIPATTI. Grigory GINSBURG ) Ma ho il sospetto che ci sia più LUI che JSB in questa Toccata. Ma, any way, è una splendida interpretazione
Was turning a baseline into octaves an improvisational technique in the baroque era? Was it up to the performer whether to do add octave passages where they deemed appropriate? Is that why there are so few octave passages from the music of that period?
In counterpoint, parallel octaves are not considered to be good voice leading. So I would say no.
yes they are some pieces by fernando sor and virtuoso harpsischord composer that uses a lot of parallel octaves. nevertheless he is kind of imitating the sound of a organ like romantic transcriptions of baroque music like liszt, busoni transcriptions
Excellent
Was he playing an octave lower in the bass?
Yesss 😀
Not only an octave lower... just octaves for the whole melody in bass from 8:34
What edition is that shown there?
I am not sure, but I suspect that it is Katsaris' own edition, probably unpublished. He runs this page and there are other videos where you can see his own fingerings and comments written in by hand.
3:57
Soy el único que esta buscando las partituras :'v?
Secondo voi nell'adagio
Fugue 3:56
fantastic! I haven´t heard this before. I was listening to another Bach toccata played by Rosalyn Tureck yesterday but I so much prefer this piece and also his gorgeous interpretation. I really dislike Busoni Bach but the octave doublings here are probably quite authentic given a large harpsichord with doubling stops. It really is a fantastic piece.
Pianist may have been the one to add the octaves (organ pedal), unless someone knows different; he is famous for his recordings of Liszt's Beethoven xscriptions.
Fugue seems to cutesy for my taste, not to mention the minor speedup / slowdown stuff.
A legitimate comment but I disagree. I liked it.
Why is there a need to do octaves in the left hand? It just doesn't sound right if you're looking for that organic and spiritual Bach experience.

οh, God, what a terrible edition of the score...
Ilias Vlastos Why? Can you explain? (This is an innocent question. I really am interested to know as I do not have the knowledge to know if this is a good edition or not.) Thanks a lot! 🙂
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the annotations. Talk about ad nauseum. XD
@@RicAbapo This is easy, take Urtext Barenreiter edition (blue cover) and compare a couple of pages
I think it's Katsaris' own version, not any specific edition.
Because let's be honest, what editor would butcher a Bach score like this?
Niccolo Paganini I have to agree the score itself is chaotic, and riddled with unnecessary markings and fingerings. The editor was trying to hard
Damnit i prefer the way I first heard it: glenn gould fast
Looks and sounds like Liszt arrangement. Too way creative in my orthodox view.
Your myopia and constipation are pathetic.
Too much pedal for me
Sorry for my inadequate English.This notes are awful! This edition was printed many years after Bachs lifetime, and the publisher has composed around 999 comments that was unknown to the composer. The pianist don't know anything how to finish this composition, he don't show any respect to the final note.

You may not agree with the way he ends the piece, and that's fine.. But, what is the problem with editors adding interpretational notes to an edition? It is the same thing an instructor would do for a student. Just because Bach did not write these things in his own manuscripts does not mean the music does not need to be interpretated, and that it is not to be played with emotion and dynamic contrasts. Teachers writing in scores is how a tradition of interpretation was established in the first place.
