Bach-Feinberg - Organ Concerto After Vivaldi, BWV 593 - I. Allegro - Cyprien Katsaris Piano

This was originally a concerto composed by Vivaldi from his L'estro armonico (Op. 3) set. This is from the 8th of 12 concertos which was first published in 1711. Then from 1713-1714, J.S. Bach transcribed it for organ. In 1929 Samuil Feinberg (1890-1962) published his solo piano arrangement of Bach's organ transcription as heard here in a performance by Cyprien Katsaris (b. 1951).

Vivaldi-Bach-Feinberg-Katsaris is such a magnificent combination

Marvelous! His transitions heavenly.

I think 3:00 is one of the most memorable passages in all of baroque’s repertoire.

It reminds me of something else, and I can't place my finger on what that "something else" is. I am frustrated by this.

[@paulbraunstein2290]

It’s heavenly (the descending sequence.)

[@paulbraunstein2290]

@@forg4308 There are many Vivaldi and Baroque pieces that have similar patterns; they use a descending fifths sequence

Incredibly textural without being overbearing (like some of Godowsky's brand of counterpoint), great transcription.

[@user-ln4tv9tk1v]

とてもダイナミックな編曲・演奏ですね！ この曲は、バッハがオルガン用に編曲したのは知っています。しかしヴィヴァルディも、まさか没後280年を経て、こんなにも大胆なピアノ編曲をされるとは、夢にも思わなかったことでしょうね(@_@) あの当時はなかった現代(20～21世紀)ピアノでの演奏は、まさに異次元の響きです！！(◎-◎;)
