I loved this wonderful concerto when seeing the Gould/Bernstein performance on TV so long ago. Wonderful performance. Terrific sound and video as well.
@@worcestersymphonyIt’s a beautiful hall, and your sonics are first class. The Father’s nuanced performance… the little rubatos in the first movement were so musical, and your orchestra is every bit the match of our Nashville symphony. I’ll bet the Shostakovich Concerto No 1 for Piano and trumpet would be wonderful in their hands!
Every year or so I poke around on the internet to see if I can find something recent by Fr. Sean. I’m very blessed to have stumbled across this tonight. I’ve had to listen a few times. Thank you!!!
I’ve been a huge fan of this Bach piece since seeing Glenn Gould’s first TV debut (on Utube) with Leonard Bernstein conducting in the 1950s. I am equally touched by Fr. Sean’s performance. I think both Bach, Gould and he are channeling God.
Wonderful ! I've listened to so many interpretations of BWV 1052 over a lifetime but this is so special. I want to say this is exactly as JSB may have intended on a grand piano and modern orchestra. Can't (yet) put a finger on it but this is a spiritual experience. Bravo and thank you, soloist and orchestra !
Поразительное впечатление! Изумительный оркестр , необыкновенный солист. Если артикуляция Гульда предельно проявлена, то здесь есть ощущение, что она намеренно и очень деликатно приглушена, создавая ощущение двух сил . Прекрасной и яркой - оркестр и идущей вместе, рядом, но со своей , знающей о боли, памятью- человек. Это еще один Бах! ❤❤❤❤❤
I translate: Amazing impression! An amazing orchestra, an extraordinary soloist. If Gould's articulation is extremely pronounced, then there is a feeling that it is deliberately and very delicately muffled, creating a feeling of two forces. Beautiful and bright - an orchestra and walking together, next to it, but with its own, aware of pain, memory - a person. This is another Bach! спасибо большое за добрые слова и наблюдения... - Roderick

Very enjoyable, and in some ways I wish the minister of my church played Bach when I was a youngster. Now a question. How would Dvorak's Cello Concerto sound if only played on the D and G strings of the instrument? (the middle two strings for the uninitiated) Strange, I think you'd all agree, and this is the problem I have with Bach played on a Steinway Grand. If Bach had an instrument as vast and as strong as a Steinway Grand had have scored the concerto for it, not just using the central range of the full keyboard. It's why I prefer hearing Bach and composers of the period on original period instruments. To me 'authentic' performances are like an old masterpiece painting cleaned up after decades of smoke , dirt and much have covered the surface. They are so much clearer in sound. Not to put down the excellent performance by Fr. Sean, a great talent btw. Bach's musical genius shines through as always. Greetings and prayers from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
Bach was quite possibly the greatest musical genius in human history. At the same time, he was also the composer who most took Jesus Christ into his heart. God was able to use him like no other composer. The result is that God, through the deeply religious Johann Sebastian Bach, gives us a glimpse of what awaits us when we will one day be with Jesus Christ - assuming we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior during our lifetime. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV
Where is the harpsichord? Did JS Bach write this masterpiece for the piano? It just doesn't sound right. Maybe next time we will get to hear it played on the saxophone or the harmonica.
Well, in a small chamber music hall that would be fine. With a hall that seats 2000 audience members you need something that brings the sound to all. A harpsichord was conceived in a small room (chamber). The public concerts of Mendelssohn in Leipzig where common folk rather than the elite were accommodated. That's where the modern piano was developed in places like the old Gewandhaus (which due to allied bombing in the second war no longer exists). I think for modern ears dynamic changes are expected, and, as you know the harpsichord is very limited in its dynamic range. To play Bach at one dynamic is no longer the style. We will see what the next 50 years brings. To play with a harpsichord with a small orchestra is still done and considered authentic. Bach's music is so good the deflection from early practice doesn't hurt it I think. In the end, it's nice to have options don't you think? An interesting study juxtaposed would be to do Wagner's 'Flying Dutchman' with a baroque orchestra. I would think that would be enlightening. -rm
Отличное исполнение. Но не очень хорошая запись. Особенно чувствуется в сравнении. Только что слушала Полину Осетинскую th-cam.com/video/osg_WmeLxQk/w-d-xo.html
Есть и другое отличие: Полина играет по нотам в присутствии ассистента. Тут - всё на память. Игра на память требует иного психологического состояния музыканта. Я бы назвал исполнение мистера Fr. Sean Brett Duggan "вдохновенным".
Beautiful perfomance, but for me Gould and Bernstein are insuperable. Even a Russian woman pianist that I don't remember her name right now is superior playing this concert.
One of the best interpretation I ever heard !
I first heard it 24 years ago and it still fascinates me. 1052 is my favorite baroque piece.
BRAVO Padre!
Beautiful! It's all about the music and nothing else. I look forward to the rest of his Bach keyboard concertos. What a gift! Thank you
Thank you, we will try! ;-)
Bravo. This piece gets under your skin. I performed it during the summer.

Von Herzen dankbar diese wunderbare Interpretation hören zu dürfen .Schwebe zwischen Himmel und Erde❤❤❤❤
My first taste of Father Sean playing Bach and it won't be my last! So even-paced, and enjoyable! I look forward to further recordings.
A magnificent performance in a beautiful setting.
Hope you are able to join us next time! Irina saved the program from this day.
Thank you!
Beautiful…really liked the way the music breathed. Excellent
Bach é a música perfeita em consonância com a música das estrelas. Este senhor assim como a orquestra são parte desta perfeição.
Bach es grande!!! ❤
what a surprise: wonderful acustic, piano, pianist, orchestra.
Fr Duggan is my hero! Thank you for this lovely performance! Applause to the orchestra too!
Oh my God! What a loveable interpretation. With all the strenght that is needed. Thank you, both solist and orchestra.
You bet! thank you for your kind comments....
Bach is the Master !!
Beautifully played
No fuss just a really excellent performance. Thanks for sharing

My favorite Concerto. Excellent, including the recording. Great orchestra, sensitive execution by the pianist.
Many thanks!
Beautiful
Besser geht es nicht. Perfekt. Danke. Hör es täglich.❤❤❤
Excellent rendition Fr. Duggan. Normally I would not be impressed but his execution of this work was spot on. Kudos.
Superb!
Thank you! Cheers!
They made the modern orchestra fit this piece really well, Hats off to them. A very enjoyable and engrossing performance, vibrato and all. Well done.
thx, we tried a little senza vibrato and the start and ending of the adagio but some don't feel comfortable with that.
Wonderful ! I've listened to so many interpretations of BWV 1052 over a lifetime but this is so special. I want to say this is exactly as JSB may have intended on a grand piano and modern orchestra.

Thank you so much, the grand piano is more dramatic for sure.
Браво!
Respect ♥️
Maravilloso pianista, lamento no haberlo escuchado antes. Saludos y mi humilde reconocimiento desde México. Juve Flores.

played by the piano this baroque concerto sounds extremely classical
if you had said it sounds romantic I would take more issue with that comment. Im good with classical!

Great audio recording. Jiggly camera.
Très belle interprétation un peu académique peut-être. Quel est l'artiste ?
C'est indique au debut de ce video avant son entree Fr. (Frere) Sean Duggan 👍
20:05
?
What is up with the tiny audience? I would have paid a lot for a ticket just to see/hear the concert.
Is this Mechanics Hall
yes!, do you know it?
Très belle interprétation, un peu académique peut-être.Quel est !'artiste ?
Académique ? Ce mot a peu de sens... C'est dans la description....
Lovely performance, but shameful to see so few people in the audience.
We will hopefully grow our audience with Tim.

As good as Gould, I'd say!
Actually better than Glenn. More balanced. Things you cannot achieve before reaching maturity.
@@francoislaagel5527 Better than Gould? That's sacrilegious!

The Russian pianist Valentina Lisitsa?
Gould and Bernstein are both deceased, but this performance is live in our own time and music is a living art.
What does your comment mean lol
