Phenomenal performance! New standard in playing Bach with unrestricted emotional expression - demonstrating knowledge of the true biographical facts about, composer that previous generation of pianists didn’t get to know! Great voicing and excellent textural clarity. I only hope Kissin records more Bach and soon,since such challenge isn’t for everyone to master in the true sense. Thank u for your post.
I will post this recording on our fb page with over 87k Bach’s fans - this a true revelation and needs to be savored

This is the standard going forward. This is unparalleled performance even by Kissin himself.

Thank u so much Richard! This is amazing. At this point We just miss Mr. Mozart with him at this concert! Pls upload

Bravo pour ce Bach aussi émotionnel que noble de style. Dans la lignée de Friedrich Gulda , merci beaucoup.

Absolutely lovely performance! Exquisitely 'musical' playing, a beautiful warm sound, and a thoroughly joyful listening experience. Hopefully this has been issued on a CD or digital album; I'm adding this to my 'to buy' list. Liked & subscribed; I'll check out your other posts.

5:44 My favorite part is the final chords, so nostalgic.

What to say? Feel it.

[@jazzenthusiast4353]

very good and impressive, but not as good as Friedrich Gulda's and Alfred Brendel's renditions (in my personal opinion)

[@iguarni]

In my opinion Sergio Fiorentino is the best even if Gulda is a Master

[@petershapiro4247]

more emotional expression than usual but still woefully lacking

[@TheMuston]

Too slow, somewhat too complicated. Less inspiring than Brendel or Gould.
