Undoubtedly one of the greatest pianists of all time. Her clarity and tempi are just breathtakingly exquisite. Whoever remastered this 70+ year old recording deserves a prize.
Sitting in silence, closing your eyes, and listening to classical music can bring a sense of relaxation and depth. It's a fantastic way to escape the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy serenity.
Marcelle Meyer trained with Debussy on how to play her Preludes after meeting him when she made the debut performance of the Satie Parade in 1917. Meyer became Erik Satie's favorite pianist and debuted Francis Poulenc Sonata for four hands with the composer. She debuted several of her other works and recorded with him. In the early 1920s she played for Darius Milhaud and Stravinsky
I would remind some of the more senseless commentators that this is a reference audio document. It doesn't claim to be the definitive performance of Bach on piano. Marcelle Meyer is of the very best interpreters, for which I thank CMRR. This upload is a stellar addition to an already impressive catalogue (by CMRR) of beauty remastered for us all to enjoy.
When I heard her Partita No. 3, I was astonished. It contains all the emotion that Bach would have projected into this often underrated work (something directly related to the character of the piece itself). In most cases, it is something that most pianists, famous or not, foolishly overlook. Her playing is both melancholy and virtuous. She seems to occupy a major place in French Bach playing, along with Yvonne Lefebure.

@@TedATL1 Exactly George. You're on the right road I believe. All this comparison is seriously draining. Each one of us is unique and as real as anyone else. All wanting to love and be loved. All good things!
@@waterkingdavid Exactly!!! My favorite is when someone posts a compliment about an opera or any other performance and someone else then feels the need to point out how some other recording is actually better. Yeah, whatevs... I think that's missing out on one of the major joys of classical music.... each recording should be enjoyed for its unique virtues.
She plays Bach in a way I’ve never quite heard before. The Inventions are so very fluidly and elegantly pedaled. And, re the above comments speaking of Gould, who used very little pedal in Bach (ditto Angela Hewitt): well, I worship his (and her) take(s) on Bach-who doesn’t?-yet this is diametrically opposed to these approaches and works equally well-and sounds so very different. Gorgeous. Thanks for posting. I am a successful, professional pop musician; but I have put it aside in my late middle age, and have taken up playing classical piano, and am studying counterpoint and classical composition. I’m so grateful to finally understand-and love-Bach. And for musicians like me, to hear a master like Meyer play these “student” pieces is an enormous boon to all who are in my position.
Most beautiful excellency of perfection. The dynamics, the left hand , the rhythms, the prodigious speed, the expressions, the musicality. The interpretation, the question and answer, the tones, overtones, the richness. The colors, mastery of pedals. MYSTERIOUS!
"Marcelle Meyer est sans doute la plus grande pianiste française du XXe siècle." Une des plus grandes, certainement. La plus grande... Il y a de la concurrence! Merci en tout cas pour ces enregistrements magnifiques et habités.
Unglaublich ! Ich habe unmittelbar aufhorchen müssen ..... - Sehr berührend, und sie nahm mich sofort in eine andere Welt mit. - Ich bin dankbar, diese Aufnahmen durch Zufall entdeckt zu haben.
The world treated me bad to not inform me about this genius before today! Anyone who performs Bach this flamboyant today will be laughed at, but it is done with so much spirit and good taste! It sparks joy. Thanks for uploading these refreshments.
It's not flamboyant in the least. Perhaps you should study historical performance practice in the context of university studies, to better inform your choice of inflammatory commentary.
"Anyone who performs Bach like this will laughed at"... Are you serious? I think you have no idea about current day trends re interpretations of Bach (or Handel or any other Baroque) keyboard works played on the piano. Do you think the reaction at Julliard of a 20 year old plating like this would be castigate him/her or praise them? Of course you miss the main point which is that there are precious few pianists who have played Bach so gorgeously in the last 75 years.
@@costanzomusicworld Thank you for being so provoked, Dennis. You have only one chance to prove your sarcasm and the right to advise what people are supposed to study if, for some rare case, you might see it. In short words - show your records. And please don't thank me for the bright idea!! he he )))
I would add to my earlier comment to simply say that these recordings require repeated listening to fully apprehend. The beauty and subtlety of Marcelle Meyer's interpretation yields only with attention. The remastering is wonderful.
Ce Noël, les performances de Marcelle Meyer ont été un cadeau précieux pour moi. Après des décennies de pauvreté relative dans l'accès à ses interprétations, nous en avons maintenant un précieux assortiment. Quelle artiste douée et exquise ! Merci d'avoir téléchargé cette superbe musique sur ce site.
Would just like to add that the recording sounds were very different early-mid 20th century--don't have the technical background to explain, but the sound and ambience is unique to the period. Since that is 'my' period it brings back so many memories and these recordings of Marcelle Meyer's playing are just jewels. Thanks once again to Classical Music for all you give us.
Well said. Indeed I find sometimes an old record with scratches from long back can evoke emotions that far surpass near perfect present recordings on occasion.
2.202.23 On Dec.25, 2022, I was among 5 tenants burned out of an old house. I lost almost everything from smoke and water. That night the ground was covered in ice and snow..as the firemen sprayed the house, water froze within minutes. We stood watching to see if we could return inside...me with my cat and another tenant with her Weimaraner. I was homeless until 3 weeks ago. A fireman brought out my laptop where I listen to Marcelle Meyer play on this extraordinary recording that keeps me grounded and not crying. Meyer and Andras Schiff are keeping me alive.....
Absolutely wonderful, and I love these recordings without any reservations, even with their often surprisingly brisk tempi. Ms. Marcelle Meyer is to me a true revelation. Thank you for remastering and posting this.
Marcelle Meyer has achieved excellent interpretations of Bach, I've greatly enjoyed listening to her exquisite voicing, pedalling, singing tone and infusion of emotion into these timeless Bach classics,
délicat,fin,parfaitement maitrisé,tempo juste,articulations claires et précises,couleur du son superbe,plans sonores parfaits,virtuosité au service de la musique ! une pure merveille !!
Listening to this recording, there is no doubt that Marcelle Meyer truly respects and loves Bach. Here she is one with Bach. The sound is surprisingly modern.
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Meisterwerke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klar artikuliertem doch etwas anmutigem Klang des unvergleichlichen Klaviers und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von mehr als siebzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wundervoll!
Le Bach sentencieux de la non école américaine disparaît enfin pour retrouver le piano français, fin, elegant, intelligent, sensible. Retrouvailles, merci.
Very grateful thanks to Classical Music/ /Reference Recording for this superb collection. A much underrated musician who should be better known. I wish I could have played the inventions with half the sparkle and energy that Meyer brings to them.
C'est regrettable que Marcelle Meyer ne soit pas mieux connue du public classique. TH-cam existe heureusement pour réparer cette injustice. Son "concerto italien" est absolument exquis!
Je découvre tardivement cette pianiste... Elle sait séduire harmonieusement par son jeu musical gracieux et fin comme une femme habitée par l'instinct de la musique !!!! L'écoute est rendue légère à souhait par son talent. Profitons-en !!!
Con Marcelle Meyer pude disfrutar a Bach nota por nota, como hacía tiempo que no podía hacerlo. O estoy sensible, o esto de debe a Marcelle. Un gema, verdaderamente.
I remember still your marvelous upload with music of Rameau with Marcelle Meyer, and now this jewel : Marcelle Meyer and J.S.Bach, thank you very much!
Un Jeu d'une Beauté mme Marcelle Meyer " la Beauté Vous a choisis pour l' Oreille la plus Délicate. " j'écoute avec ce respect qu'on a de Vous Écouter. Amitiés au touché de votre noble instrument le piano . JEAN SÉBASTIEN BACH . La continuité est assurée. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I apologize, my comment was not recorded completely in previous comment. I was stating that Marcelle Meyer had been a great Bach piano interpreter and that this recording was nothing less than historic. Thanks.
Thank you. She's one of my favorite interpret of Bach. Just lovely... Hm. No, I lie, apart of those tiny bijoux by Lipatti and maybe Sokolov, she is the ultimate, by far the most favorite pianist of mine.
I would advise any student of piano to aspire to Meyer’s exquisite interpretation. She is thorough and artistic and not mechanical like many contemporary pianists.
Listening to these pieces played by Glenn Gould, I saw a commentator suggest we listen to these recordings here. I understand WHY now. Seems like Musicality can be different than Virtuosity, although one can be expressing both at the same time. I'm just an amateur listener and not even a player, but learning nonetheless about how the language of music is spoken. Very profound experience! Thank you fellow readers when you have constructive comments like the one bringing me here. Otherwise, save your snobby critiques about players (and even pianos!) for your own cocktail parties :)
A pity there is no film footage of this amazing woman. Didn't anyone think it might be interesting one day?! it's not as if she lived in the 19th century. FFS She was even married to a French film actor, Pierre Bertin, who would have known plenty of people with cameras.

She seems to occupy a major place in French Bach playing, along with Yvonne Lefebure.
Speechless...she's not merely playing the piano, but an organ, a harpsichord and a baroque orchestra at the same time!
everything is Bach, Bach is everything ❤️

Sorry. She indeed does #play melodic lines at full speed #. Not my taste.
Merci de partager.
I didn't know it would be this beautiful when I played the Bach Inventions when I was a kid.
And I used to think Glenn Gould captured it well,but this is otherworldly.thank you.
We don’t have to choose. That’s the joy of great music and great interpreters.
@@TedATL1 Exactly George. You're on the right road I believe. All this comparison is seriously draining. Each one of us is unique and as real as anyone else. All wanting to love and be loved.
All good things!
@@waterkingdavid Exactly!!! My favorite is when someone posts a compliment about an opera or any other performance and someone else then feels the need to point out how some other recording is actually better. Yeah, whatevs... I think that's missing out on one of the major joys of classical music.... each recording should be enjoyed for its unique virtues.
She plays Bach in a way I’ve never quite heard before.
The Inventions are so very fluidly and elegantly pedaled.
And, re the above comments speaking of Gould, who used very little pedal in Bach (ditto Angela Hewitt): well, I worship his (and her) take(s) on Bach-who doesn’t?-yet this is diametrically opposed to these approaches and works equally well-and sounds so very different. Gorgeous. Thanks for posting.
I am a successful, professional pop musician; but I have put it aside in my late middle age, and have taken up playing classical piano, and am studying counterpoint and classical composition. I’m so grateful to finally understand-and love-Bach. And for musicians like me, to hear a master like Meyer play these “student” pieces is an enormous boon to all who are in my position.
Gould followed Roselyne Tucker, not Marcelle Meyer
Extremely elegant, exquisite, noble Bach I’ve ever heard before! She’s a real jewel. my god.
Yes, wonderful empathy and humanity throughout these pieces...
GOD is listening!😁
She was a creative goddess for sure!
Absolutely ❤
Her rendition of the Fantaisie is absolutely breath taking! What a stunning piece of music.
Most beautiful excellency of perfection. The dynamics, the left hand , the rhythms, the prodigious speed, the expressions, the musicality. The interpretation, the question and answer, the tones, overtones, the richness. The colors, mastery of pedals. MYSTERIOUS!
She's a creative goddess for sure!
For decades I thought Gould was the gold standard of Bach keyboard but not now
An angel playing the work of a genius.
I am swept away. What a blessing to have access to her talent
"Marcelle Meyer est sans doute la plus grande pianiste française du XXe siècle."
Une des plus grandes, certainement. La plus grande... Il y a de la concurrence!
Merci en tout cas pour ces enregistrements magnifiques et habités.
Unglaublich ! Ich habe unmittelbar aufhorchen müssen ..... - Sehr berührend, und sie nahm mich sofort in eine andere Welt mit. - Ich bin dankbar, diese Aufnahmen durch Zufall entdeckt zu haben.
The world treated me bad to not inform me about this genius before today! Anyone who performs Bach this flamboyant today will be laughed at, but it is done with so much spirit and good taste! It sparks joy. Thanks for uploading these refreshments.
Flamboyant?
It's not flamboyant in the least.
Perhaps you should study historical performance practice in the context of university studies, to better inform your choice of inflammatory commentary.
non-intentional & sincere use of bad semantics "flamboyant"
"Anyone who performs Bach like this will laughed at"... Are you serious? I think you have no idea about current day trends re interpretations of Bach (or Handel or any other Baroque) keyboard works played on the piano. Do you think the reaction at Julliard of a 20 year old plating like this would be castigate him/her or praise them? Of course you miss the main point which is that there are precious few pianists who have played Bach so gorgeously in the last 75 years.
@@costanzomusicworld Thank you for being so provoked, Dennis. You have only one chance to prove your sarcasm and the right to advise what people are supposed to study if, for some rare case, you might see it. In short words - show your records. And please don't thank me for the bright idea!! he he )))
I would add to my earlier comment to simply say that these recordings require repeated listening to fully apprehend. The beauty and subtlety of Marcelle Meyer's interpretation yields only with attention. The remastering is wonderful.
Ce Noël, les performances de Marcelle Meyer ont été un cadeau précieux pour moi. Après des décennies de pauvreté relative dans l'accès à ses interprétations, nous en avons maintenant un précieux assortiment. Quelle artiste douée et exquise ! Merci d'avoir téléchargé cette superbe musique sur ce site.
Would just like to add that the recording sounds were very different early-mid 20th century--don't have the technical background to explain, but the sound and ambience is unique to the period. Since that is 'my' period it brings back so many memories and these recordings of Marcelle Meyer's playing are just jewels. Thanks once again to Classical Music for all you give us.
Well said. Indeed I find sometimes an old record with scratches from long back can evoke emotions that far surpass near perfect present recordings on occasion.
2.202.23 On Dec.25, 2022, I was among 5 tenants burned out of an old house. I lost almost everything from smoke and water. That night the ground was covered in ice and snow..as the firemen sprayed the house, water froze within minutes. We stood watching to see if we could return inside...me with my cat and another tenant with her Weimaraner. I was homeless until 3 weeks ago. A fireman brought out my laptop where I listen to Marcelle Meyer play on this extraordinary recording that keeps me grounded and not crying. Meyer and Andras Schiff are keeping me alive.....
Thanks, have a good day😊🌹🎶🎵🎼🦋💐
Absolutely wonderful, and I love these recordings without any reservations, even with their often surprisingly brisk tempi. Ms. Marcelle Meyer is to me a true revelation. Thank you for remastering and posting this.
She plays everything more briskly than anyone else. And it always works beautifully, and it is always so enjoyable!!
Marcelle Meyer has achieved excellent interpretations of Bach, I've greatly enjoyed listening to her exquisite voicing, pedalling, singing tone and infusion of emotion into these timeless Bach classics,
Orville Wright
Wholeheartedly agree ...timeless indeed
Like Beethoven's later works ....
Magnifique toucher chantant. Belle sonorité belle interprétation . Grand bravo . J aime beaucoup
délicat,fin,parfaitement maitrisé,tempo juste,articulations claires et précises,couleur du son superbe,plans sonores parfaits,virtuosité au service de la musique ! une pure merveille !!
Wonderful playing---finally, someone who plays Bach with some feeling!
Listening to this recording, there is no doubt that Marcelle Meyer truly respects and loves Bach.
Here she is one with Bach. The sound is surprisingly modern.
What al lively playing style ! That is Bach as we like .
So lovely, so peaceful, so joyous...what a treat.
Exquisite, passionate, driven. And whoever remastered her work deserves plaudits. Your work is a godsend. Bravo!!
Thank you for this!!! I adore Meyer!
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Meisterwerke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klar artikuliertem doch etwas anmutigem Klang des unvergleichlichen Klaviers und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von mehr als siebzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wundervoll!
Well said!
🌟 Lovely music played by a lovely lady from the past 🌟
All recordings are from the past
she sings beautifully
Le Bach sentencieux de la non école américaine disparaît enfin pour retrouver le piano français, fin, elegant, intelligent, sensible. Retrouvailles, merci.
Very grateful thanks to Classical Music/ /Reference Recording for this superb collection. A much underrated musician who should be better known. I wish I could have played the inventions with half the sparkle and energy that Meyer brings to them.
Elegant and superb
Quelle merveilleuse découverte!
Simplicité, pureté, élégance, imagination, présence. Et l'air de rien!
Merci.
C'est regrettable que Marcelle Meyer ne soit pas mieux connue du public classique. TH-cam existe heureusement pour réparer cette injustice. Son "concerto italien" est absolument exquis!
Oui, c'est vraiment divin! Un infini plaisir à écouter cette pianiste trop peu connue.
Je découvre tardivement cette pianiste... Elle sait séduire harmonieusement par son jeu musical gracieux et fin comme une femme habitée par l'instinct de la musique !!!! L'écoute est rendue légère à souhait par son talent. Profitons-en !!!
Such a discovery, such a talent for the ages, thank you TH-cam and this channel. You are to be highly commended.
All my love for the amazing Marcelle.
The best with Gould and Richter.
So beautiful!
The best interpretation I’ve ever heard!
A revelation! I love her playing. So clean and unaffected.
Yes, yes, yes! It brings a smile to my whole being.
Just now, First time hearing, and “Clean” is the exact word that came to mind too
Con Marcelle Meyer pude disfrutar a Bach nota por nota, como hacía tiempo que no podía hacerlo. O estoy sensible, o esto de debe a Marcelle. Un gema, verdaderamente.
Wether she plays Bach, Rameau or Ravel, she is at the top of her game !
or her Scarlatti ! Her conceptions are filled with joy, and delight all who hear.
Her Chabrier is out of the park as well.
One of the cleverest CD purchases I ever made was the 17 disc set of her complete recordings. What a touch she had.
I love her music.
So brilliant and delicate performance.
I love the way she expands on Bach
It seems to hear the sound of cheerfully flowing mountain streams, so beautiful
"cheerfully flowing mountain streams" - I like that image. Very poetic.
wow such an excellent touch! and combined with such a strong pulse ... it carries you. She's at the top of the top for sure
Just gorgeous... you can hear Cortot's exquisite sensibility...just gorgeous...
Wow. I can say i finally understood some of these pieces after this execution....
Muchas gracias, es maravillosa, un absoluto placer interminable, es un Bach lleno de color y de una viveza y redondez, que es todo espiritualidad ❤❤❤
I remember still your marvelous upload with music of Rameau with Marcelle Meyer, and now this jewel : Marcelle Meyer and J.S.Bach, thank you very much!
And her Scarlatti is marvelous also!
EVERY GOOD MUSIC, UNIVERSAL, GOOD TALENTS.
PLAYED WHITH TALLENT NOBILLITY AND GRACE
Such a great pianist. Excellent.
Marcelle Meyer, entre Bach et Scarlatti, je ne m'en lasse jamais... Merci pour ce magnifique partage de 3:27.58
Magnifica interpretazione!
Thanks for this important historical document Marcelle for
This is such a treasure. Marcelle Meyer was Brilliant !
Exquisite. Profoundly moving. Edifying. Merci infiniment!
Merci beaucoup ,Marcelle Meyer est aussi pour moi une référence ,j'y reviens toujours
Beautiful Music and playing… Thank you for sharing

Beautiful every morning with coffee!❤
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
Stunning,elegant,gorgeous…
Superb performance; superb remastering.
One of my favorite pianists. This recording is marvelous and uplifting, especially in these dark days.
Thank you!
Yes, yes. yes- exquisitely uplifting
Yes I agree
I pick up here intuitively how Beethoven's later works have these influences of Bach
Just truely amazing 💞
She is like BACH: Absolute.
Beautiful!
Her complete studio recordings were issued by EMI (now Warner) a few years ago: 17cds, still available on a different label
WOW, thank you so much for this info. I love Andras Schiff, but this is a new discovery, she is/was amazing.
OUTSTANDING! Thank you SO much!
touch is so stellar-just like my teacher wanted in Switzerland
Un Jeu d'une Beauté mme Marcelle Meyer " la Beauté Vous a choisis pour l' Oreille la plus Délicate. " j'écoute avec ce respect qu'on a de Vous Écouter. Amitiés au touché de votre noble instrument le piano . JEAN SÉBASTIEN BACH . La continuité est assurée. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Un oceano di bellezza.
Una ensoñación total. Gracias por compartir. Excelente interpretación. ¡Seguimos!
The Toccatas. My God!
I apologize, my comment was not recorded completely in previous comment. I was stating that Marcelle Meyer had been a great Bach piano interpreter and that this recording was nothing less than historic. Thanks.
Unaffected. Lovely.
Quelle beauté du son, quelle humilité. Divine artiste, à l’opposée absolue des Lang Iang et tant d'autres clowns actuels.
D'accord.
Rien d'excess, c'est parfait.
Pourquoi alterner le compliment avec l'ignoble? Appeler Lang Lang un "clown" invalide tout ce que vous pourriez avoir comme avis sur les musiciens.
@@Paroles_et_Musique joliment répondu :)
@@Paroles_et_Musique "Clown", ce n'est pas un mot très aggressif.
@@gillesflorchinger2241 Comment serait-il possible d'exprimer une impression négative sans utiliser d'expressions bien péjoratives?
Thank you. She's one of my favorite interpret of Bach. Just lovely... Hm. No, I lie, apart of those tiny bijoux by Lipatti and maybe Sokolov, she is the ultimate, by far the most favorite pianist of mine.
We are enjoy them all! and not have to have a favourite.
Beautiful
I would advise any student of piano to aspire to Meyer’s exquisite interpretation. She is thorough and artistic and not mechanical like many contemporary pianists.
¡Gracias por esta bella recopilacion de esta excelente pianista! ¡Gran trabajo de esta virtuosa pianista!
Having heard so often Glen-Gould-like interpretations, this brings a breath of fresh air! Thanks for posting.
I totally agree!!
Gould kills this music
@@johnanderton4200 You don't like sewing machines ? ^^
@@johnanderton4200
I'm afraid slang has rendered your comment ambiguous😅😂
@@RuthvenMurgatroyd good point. But I would have said "Gould kills IN this music"
if it was intended to be positive.
Sounds like a heaven!
Amazing. Thank you!!!
Masterpiece.
Listening to these pieces played by Glenn Gould, I saw a commentator suggest we listen to these recordings here. I understand WHY now. Seems like Musicality can be different than Virtuosity, although one can be expressing both at the same time.
I'm just an amateur listener and not even a player, but learning nonetheless about how the language of music is spoken. Very profound experience! Thank you fellow readers when you have constructive comments like the one bringing me here.
Otherwise, save your snobby critiques about players (and even pianos!) for your own cocktail parties :)
Nice comment
Knock out punch. Tried to listen to Glenn Gould play Mozart Son 13 on a sour piano with all his gusto but it fell flat. Marcelle has it all.
Spasibo,arigato,xoxo from Kyoto
Una absoluta maravilla! Extasis del alma!
Deeply appreciate your sharing 🙏❤️
A pity there is no film footage of this amazing woman. Didn't anyone think it might be interesting one day?! it's not as if she lived in the 19th century. FFS She was even married to a French film actor, Pierre Bertin, who would have known plenty of people with cameras.
She may have found the concept undignified & irrelevant to what she was actually producing in real time.
Amazing!
wonderful and beautiful play..!!!!!
Высочайшее исполнение !!!! Спасибо рестовраторам за добротную работу ! Всем всех БЛАГ ....!!!
"mathematical" and emotional,unbelievable music presented in the best possible way!!!!
Marcelle: a Goddess!
