Thanks Graham; this upload is very welcome on an otherwise dull Thursday! We each have our own way of connecting with the world presented to us by Bach. At first, I liked the colours, the movement, the drama; later, I could perceive what I can only call the 'stillness' at the heart of it all. It remains, of course, a mystery, but your arrangement here expresses it so well. Thanks.

[@grahamcaldecott]

Thanks so much, Karl for your generous appreciation. Yes, stillness is at the centre this brilliant piece, highlighting the silence that precedes and concludes it.

But neither arrest nor movement."

With this performance you enter a new realm of actually arranging JSB's compositions by adding or subtracting elements in order to create something new. I totally subscribe to that idea and enjoy your rendition of this prelude very much! I think you should pursue this avenue for I am absolutely sure you have every thing necessary to create wonderful new versions based on JSB's compositional corpus!

[@grahamcaldecott]

Thanks so, so much, Andreas. Most musicians would cherish a review like this. I've played this prelude all my life and love it but for me doing this arrangement has made it sound totally new and it feels as if I've only recently discovered it! I'm hoping this will happen with future projects of course. Again thanks for the much appreciated encouragement.

رغم جمال الأشياء الباطنية
إلا أن المظهر الخارجي لا يخلو من أهمية

Интересная интерпретация музыки Баха ! хз а Космическое звучание!

[@grahamcaldecott]

Ну, я не ставил перед собой цель добиться комического звучания, но, возможно, определенно поднял музыку на уровень выше нуля.

Thanks you.

I love this arrangement Graham, The boy to the right in the picture reminds me of this painting by George De La Tour ("Christ holding a Candle") and another which I probably can't find...th-cam.com/video/jTnXGPeFYB4/w-d-xo.html. The woman reminds me of a 17th century dutch painting , but can't place it.

[@grahamcaldecott]

Thanks so much. Yes, the boy on the right had just come out for a bit lunch with his mum before going back to George's place whilst she couldn't get out of character from work she was currently doing......LOL

[@grahamcaldecott]

The photographer, Nadia Eeckhout has done a really good Rembrandt like shot and other equally compelling photos, she's well worth checking out.

[@Geopholus]

@@grahamcaldecott Thanks so much for the info on Photographer Nadia Eeckhout . beautiful work !

Regarding the lady , she reminds me of Vermeers , Lady reading a letter...from another angle...
