Absolutely outstanding tempered interpretation of Bachs' german character. What a perfect match. He would be very pleased by your interpretation. I hear Bach saying: this is exactly how it is supposed to be played!
What incredible memory to play all this magic music of Bach without reading the music. Itslike remembeting every word in Dostoevskij's Brother Karamazov except music says more than words. Especially Bach's.
Incredible. What a labour of love from this young woman, extremely gifted, playing from memory (!!) that difficult but moving timeless masterpiece by the greatest artist of all time.
As a pianist and composer I know and love (and often tried to play parts of) this maybe greatest work of music ever since more than 40 years in all its details and have heard many great interpretations of it. But this one is really the greatest of all! M. Czech not only plays this, but becomes it !! This is a miracle and without exaggeration one of the greatest experiences of my musical life !!! I can not thank you enough for this superhuman performance 🌸🌸🌸
Maria Czech, I kiss both your hands for this unbelievably mature interpretation! You have a great future as an interpreter of the greatest composer of all time!
One hour and 20 uninterrupted minutes of one of Bach's greatest meditations in his conversation with the Universe. Congratulations Martha Czech, for bringing us this universal conversation with such beauty and precision. God bless you.
i am an old hippie but i have to get out of bed now and call my friends and tell them " listen to this, it is the best ever .." Thankyou so much,, danke Marta, merci de tout mon coeur, gracias por todo...
Beautifully and flawlessly performed from memory. Driving rhythmic dynamism. Great phrasing. Each melodic line is so clearly stated. Bach comes alive and musical. BRAVO! Glen Gould eat your heart out!
Wunderschön zu hören die rhyythmische Brillianz. Bach dienend, uneitel. Kein selbstdarstellerischer Firlefanz. Wunderschön. die Hände aunzusehen. Rein Technisch. Die Klarheit ihrer Darbietung berührt.... Eine großartige Musikerin.
Martha you really make "dancing" this masterwork. Maybe Glenn is smiling you for your great variety of staccato. Thanks a lot for sharing this jewel. Take care of your gift. Paolo from Italy
Wonderful interpretation to such high level music, with so beautiful play, all from menory, using Gould method of short souns. The best music play I have heard last years. Remarkable and enjoyable performance. Thank you Matha Czech
Maestra Marta Czech's interpretation of Bach's 'Der Kunst der Fugue' is a perfect example of what the late Sviatoslav Richter called, "[T]the terraced dynamics of the late Baroque." Her achievement is at once breathtaking and astounding. I believe that Maestra Czech's rendition of this piece is far-and-away the best one that I've ever watched or listened to, hands down! Bravo!
I am a big fan of Schiff for Bach and have numerous interpretation of these pieces, but this one is of an unprecendented detail and clarity. I am so happy to have discovered Marta on TH-cam. This is just pure genius!
I don't believe I have ever heard a performance of Die Kunst der Fuge where every moving line of the Fuge is so clearly delineated...after all, the beauty of a Fuge is to submerge oneself into the counterpoint.
Working as a visual artist in Canada listening to this with headphones allows complete concentration and uninterrupted flow state to complete very delicate and complex work with excellent results that may not have been able to be accomplished otherwise. Thank you Bach and Marta Czech❤
Thank you very much Marta to play "die kunst der fuge" with such technical mastery, with such joy, sadness and first of all to make the music : dances, and what a rythme you put in your playing, wonderfull !!. I was a dancer, and the music of Bach is the classical music the most used by far by contemporary choreographer (Pina Bausch, Maurice Béjart, Forsyte etc...) Bach's music is made of joy and sadness, and is of full of dance :full of the spirit of human finitude and full of life.
Colossal Her wonderful performance must slake the slake the thirst of the soul of busy modern people, and evoke comfortable feelings and a peace of mind and embody great pleasure and deep impression and prodigious admiration
Sono circa 2 anni che ascolto quasi tutti i giorni la tua esecuzione - Marta - dell'Arte della Fuga e ogni giorno scopro nell'universo policromo della tua interpretazione delle perle risplendenti che danno nuova vita allo Spirito di Bach che trascende in Cielo sfumando dall'ultima nota da lui scritta nel suo ultimo contrappunto....
@@user-jf6hw7dm3t Hubert Rieger, sicherlich ist es der christliche Gott, denn Marta Czechs Klavieraufführung von Bachs Kunst der Fuge ist genau ein Gebet an unseren Gott
Danke für diese wunderbar unaufgeregt angelegte, beiden Händen exakt die richtige Gewichtung verleihende Einspielung, erkennbar innerlich beteiligt, durchdacht, für mein Gefühl perfekt im Tempo, Chapeau!
Miss Marta, I am swept away by your clarity and precision, over and over. I enjoy watching your hands as much as listening. But I am also thinking about the hours alone and sacrifices you have made, and only you know this, to achieve this success with these pieces. You are a beautiful soul, musician, and woman.
Dear Miss Martha Czech, I have been listening to KDF since my teens. I am 59 now and haven't experienced such bliss as I felt during your rendition. I am delighted that in such troubled times, the fire is still burning and the light is still shining. Thanks. God bless you.
J'ai également 59ans, et j'ai écouté KDF tout au long des années (enfin, un peu moins ces dernières années). Cette version est de loin la plus belle que j'aie entendue. Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous quand vous parlez d'une lumière qui brille encore. La belle musique, la belle poésie, le beau cinéma, quand de telles choses existent encore, cela est rassurant. Dieu vous bénisse également.
Wonderful performance by *Marta Czech* ! On organ I play only Contrapunctæ XI and XIV fromemory because too difficult to read and play. *XI* 37:00 *XIV* 112:04 Best recording I havever heard on organ is blind organist Helmut Walcha.
@@GeorgeBletchly Have never been impressed by sight-reading, even though I.mproved the more I did. Besto finger everything out, then perform witho surprises/crashes.
Every now and then a new interpretation comes along and I really sit up and listen - and this is one such performance. I am going to enjoy listening to this one again and again, each time learning to appreciate more the unique and moving nuances to this well-known music. Thank you Ms. Czech for the great enjoyment provided.
🔥🔥🔥
just beautiful taking me to the heights and depths...beautifully rendered. Bach is so calming and healing for me. Puts me back in right order.....
She played this whole piece by memory? Mind blown.
Absolutely outstanding tempered interpretation of Bachs' german character. What a perfect match. He would be very pleased by your interpretation. I hear Bach saying: this is exactly how it is supposed to be played!
I hope even if it’s just 1 single person that sees this, that they have an amazing day and an even better future! 💖💖💖
🎉🎉🎉
What incredible memory to play all this magic music of Bach without reading the music. Itslike remembeting every word in Dostoevskij's Brother Karamazov except music says more than words. Especially Bach's.
I will but only because of reading this comment

Diese Souveränität und Stilsicherheit sind mir im Leben noch nicht begegnet (ich höre seit 60 Jahren Klaviermusik).
Her Bach’s performance will be a call to God to remain silent
Two hands amazingly trans-audibly playing with each other under supervision of a splendid young pianist!!!
For me, this is perhaps Bach's greatest piece. So exceptionally well performed Marta.
Glenn would be proud of this.
I am convinced now that no creaking chair is needed for a perfect performance. Thank you.
Stupendo Bach, Stupenda Martha Czech.
Enchantement Sonore. Deeply Love for Bach & Martha Czech, Glen Gould, Hélène Grimaud and Co
This is what I have to

work: listen, play, love,
revere -- and keep your
mouth shut.

Bach's homecoming ! Beautiful ! Thank you !
She takes the music in her hands and gives it to you.
Merci Marta c'est tout simplement époustouflant, enthousiasmant ! Merci !
Fantastic interpretation, I love it : ) thanks for sharing. It's a bit jazzy - or is it just me? Anyway, I should sleep, but can't stop listening.
bellezza! le auguro di restare per tutta la vita un unico insieme musicale. tutte la sue movenze trasmettono musica in un' unica entità. evviva!
Fantastic!! She really understands Bach's music.
Dokonalé spojení Bacha a Vašich rukou, děkuji a zdravím z Česka.
Heilige Musik aus einer verlorenen Welt, vorgetragen von einem Engel. Innigsten Dank.
Sehr schoen gesagt - schliesse mich an.
so etwas wollte ich gesagt haben......
💠✨🙏✨💠

Danke! Wunderschön ! Gott segne Sie,Martha!
Magnifique ! Un peu de finesse dans ce monde de brutes :-) Bravo à vous Marta 👏
Anyone who has made it here... congratulations.. you have reached the pinnacle of music, no matter which version you prefer
Amen to that!!!!
Amen, God bless you ! ♥️😽
Une vision grandiose digne du Maître Absolu de la pensée musicale. Structure et poésie en amour. Merci Madame.
Ja, man verneigt sich in Dankbarkeit. Welch ein Geschenk 🎁
Wunderschön zu hören die rhyythmische Brillianz.

I came for Bach but then stayed for your beautiful sense of space.Great musicality Marta.Greetings.
This is a beautiful performance. Thanks for sharing it! I will listen to it many times....
this interpretation is surely the best I've ever heard!

Amazing....what a memory...
Superb. I just listened to the whole thing
Bach will always loom large over the musical giants that succeeded him.
I don't believe I have ever heard a performance of Die Kunst der Fuge where every moving line of the Fuge is so clearly delineated...after all, the beauty of a Fuge is to submerge oneself into the counterpoint.
Magnificent beyond words.

Es ist ein Hochgenuß, Sie spielen zu hören! Vielen Dank für Ihre Kunst!
I can see all paralel worlds you and Bach imagin. Congrats
a stunning balance of clarity and beauty -
This is incredible, congratulations for this Great work !
Just ωοω-‼️, ~ Staggeringly beautiful. -
Play on and keep convincing people that
JS Bach was ‘the’ βεst Composer ‘’of all time.’’ 🥰
Never heard this on a Fazioli before. It is wonderful and so is Miss Martha.
You might want to check out Angela Hewitt’s 2019 recording. She also plays it on a Fazioli, but the similarity ends there.
I have no words really except that she captures Bach so well; mathematically and aesthetically. X
The light hypnotic movement of your hands makes me speechless … now I’m going to unmute the video 🎶

So good they named a country after her.
