- British pianist Solomon in a rarely reissued May 20, 1948 recording of the Bach-Busoni chorale prelude 'Wachet Auf'. This performance demonstrates tremendous control, a rich tonal palette, and brilliant voicing. This rarely issued recording is currently available in EMI's Solomon box set in the 'Icon' series.
Bach's glorious composition allows various interpretations by fabulous pianists.
Solomon was surely one of them, who stirred my senses. Thank you very much!
Solomon is the greatest pianist of the recording era, full stop. In fact, he wasn't a pianist at all; he was a visionary. I want his recording of Chopin's Db Nocturne played at my funeral. Thanks for posting!
Mark, that was magical. Thank you.
Fantastic!
потрясающая музыка! Замечательное исполнение!
Absolutely astonishing.
Solomon was a glorious pianist abd this rendition is part of his legacy
I was looking for a good interpretation for this masterpiece which is the contribution of Bach to the composition arround quart Interval. This is superlative.
This video shows just how still a great player should sit when he plays. Masterful. But he must have big hands. I can only just see his elbows moving.
lolz
Solomon and Moiseiwitsch were good friends.
I’m new to this performer, Is Solomon his full name? Pardon my ignorance. So beautiful.
Solomon Cutner, but known in public as Solomon.
el puente del ritmo
Tick !
they're pictures...
Lol, you though they it was a video...now that's funny
Il pianoforte diventa organo. Nulla e tolto rispetto la strumentazione originale. Note come queste sono assolute qualsiasi strumento musicale le fa rivivere.
A monumental recording that rewards attentive listening; thank you for posting.
This is a brilliant realization of Busoni's score. I don't think I've ever heard the cantus firmus brought out with such strength and majesty. His tempo is perfect in my opinion. Truly great work. The only thing I could quibble about is the rather extreme ritardando of the final passage. Interrupting the flow of rhythm at that point weakens the incredible power of those measures- some of the most beautiful music ever written.
I don't find the ritardando as extreme as you do, Peter, but I do confess that it certainly seems less convincing that what Harold Samuel does at the conclusion of the first movement of the B-flat partita: th-cam.com/video/FQpuDnocpMk/w-d-xo.html Then too, as your comment suggests, it is a small price to pay for the thrilling musicianship on display throughout this recording.
Incredible performance... Once I had occasionally pressed the unlike button while scrolling a youtube page. I am absolutely sure, two guys did the same, as this rendition is perfect. Just perfect and so moving.
Not just extraordinary in polyphonic delineation, but in sonic simulation of organ sonority and registration, through touch and pedaling. I do find myself wondering what piano he was playing; somehow it does not sound like a Steinway.
I know of no other pianist who could give the illusion of "terraces of sound" from just two hands and one keyboard. - John Austin, Australia
A truly amazing interpretation, unlike most pianists' today... The "Chorale and Fugue" takes its enitre sense in this interpretation. Solomon plays with great intelligence.
IT'S A STILL SHOT, NOT A VIDEO. THERE'S NO MOVEMENT AT ALL.
whoa, like Arrau pondering Beethoven
Gorgeous.
He had two hands indeed. How true
Großartig.Great.
Tick ; Tick !
bravo
amazing !
