This woman was in my car yesterday(I drive for Uber and I’m a retired RN),..she told me to look her up and she is absolutely amazing🎆
That's the coolest thing I've heard related to Uber and life in general.
Before Uber exists, I kept schedule playing a concert in Köln/Germany. When I informed the taxi driver of his fate, he asked me ... Do you know that German President Walter Scheel will attend? I said, how much joy to meet your president... Coolest thing I've related to Taxi and life in general.
Nobody trusts you.
@@Npvsp Pouco me interessa se você ou alguém acredita. Eu tenho recorte de jornal que pode provar este meu recital no MaternusHaus Köln. (Brazilian Portuguese) Best regards.
Did you ever pick up JSB by any chance? I've heard he used to walk everywhere & could have done with a taxi!
Am I the only that finds the fugue just heartbreaking? I feel almost pain in my heart when listening to it
Bach's music can be sadly beautiful. And this is.
It uses the circle of 5th a lot, which can be an emotional chord progression
Bach's music evokes this particular idea of universal truth. Sometimes, the truth is hard to face.
Her playing is absolute perfection. I have listened to this 50 times. Each time I learn something new. Working on this for 2022.
Simply, my fabourite video un TH-cam, I love you Svetla!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
the best interpretation of this great bach's work adapted by Liszt.Svetla Protich plays with her heart. This isn't piano but 100%music. I'm a lutanist and crazy about how she treats the prelude, openly, trying to render the majesty of the organ. The fugue is absolutely fantastic ! I keep the MP3 in my phone to get it next to me. Thousand thanks for all your admirers. A great lady for a great piano !
She takes her time, so the music can flow and unfold its full power. The moment when the theme appears in the bass at 4:45 is simply heartbreaking... unbelievable!
Over 300 years later Bach still speaks to the very depths of our humanity-in no small part to this exquisite performance.
Sempre , in questo caso tramite liszt
Magnifique interprétation. Merci 💚 💚 💚
For this lady each note is a treasure.
Isn't this a stunningly beautiful piece? It starts simple and pure, and then progresses elegantly. Bach for me is the greatest man who ever lived.
Hireshu san, arigato gozaimasu.
It is, indeed!
I wouldn't say that he was great as a person, but his achievements and genius is definitely great!! Best composer ever, imo.
No doubt.
Proof that Bach delve in the Romantic as well as the Classical. Maybe even at the same time. This is my first hearing of the piece, but i have a strong feeling that this Bitch understands Bach. God bless you Mrs. Protich.
Excelente compositor es Bach. Él le habla al alma humana con un idioma que es universal. Su música toca las fibras más íntimas. Gracias Bach por este tesoro dado a la humanidad !!!.-
@@authenticmusic4815 Why do you think that: ,,he was not great as a person,,?
Lang Lang should take lessons from Miss Protich. What a joy to listen to her performance. Thank you for moving me so much
Im totally agree
Lang lang taking lessons? Bruh
Lang Lang needs to take lessons of everything in the world.
Bang Bang didn't learn anything from Staier. Why would he learn from Protich? His bad taste is natural - and incurable.
She is so delicate. Love this performance.
+Elizabeth Beth exactly! Another good interpretation is the one of Matthias Havinga (organ) on youtube also, but in a much more dynamic style.
This interpretation is quite different, and very delicate indeed, and this sounds quite pretty too!
The music in Bach’s head hundred of years ago calls out to us and is as clear now as it was then when he devised the melodies, particularly when such talented and gifted artists like Svetla Protich interprets his thoughts. Simply magnificent.
Her playing gives me goosebumps EVERY time! So sensitive and so pure.
Votre capacité de faire écouter chaque voix est sans aucun paragon!!!😊
Чудесно! Прослушивание такой музыки, один раз привело меня к мысли, было хорошо не только слушать, а и самому исполнить музыку Баха. И я пошел учиться. Теперь я уже играю Баха.
Maîtrise et régularité, contraste et nuances. Une force bien tranquille celle-là. Bach devrait apprécier.
This is one of Bach's greatest organ works (of which there are so many), but it demonstrates perfectly that Bach was a pure composer, in that the the music he wrote floated free of any particular instrument. It is pure music which can be realised in so many different ways. By the Tim Bach was writing the art of the fugue he had stopped indicating any instruments at all, he simply wrote music. This quality of writing for no instrument means he writes for every instrument, and we are but midgets sitting listening to the tunes of a musical giant
well said
Great, great comment!
Thank you. Poignant information for a pianist and fellow Bachian.
In my opinion, the best music is independent of timbre.
Tra le varie interpretazioni che ho sentito questa è assolutamente la mia preferita....tempo perfetto e un tocco veramente magico....non riesco a smettere di ascoltarla.....e come sempre Bach il più grande genio di sempre...Grazie Johan
This is só beautiful! Fantastic performance. Great tempo.
It's how Bach intended it, the feeling she gives me. He's right there with her.
There is an incredible display of humanity and the soul in this performance. It's difficult to put into words, but you can feel it. At least I can.
Yes exactly! and her BWV 508 is the same.
The best interpretation of B/L 543 in TH-cam. I cannot get tired of listening to this. WOW.
Semplicità, purezza...
Questa sconosciuta pianista parla ai cuori.
Miracolo...
Sia ringraziata, Signora Svetla.
Farei carte false per ascoltarLa dal vivo.
As others have already remarked: So even, so moving. Nothing comes close to the way a piece by Bach can fill you with such powerful sensations of beauty, gratefulness, humility.
The funny thing is most of them do in the same way. Sure there are some masterpieces ahead of even what he could do, but those tend to be overwhelmingly genius (Chaconne, Passion opening choruses, Passacaglia, this piece, and many others actually I was spewing nonesense)
4:45 so powerful!!!!
I love that she uses the sustain pedal to give the piece a beautiful echo, but she still maintains absolute clarity with her voicing!
This performance is exactly how I would like to hear it. Perfect!
jesus christ. I didn't know a bach fugue could be so moving.
this shatters my entire perception of fugues as strictly cerebral and intellectual pieces.
Its all about the the musician, she's brilliant.
MusartJD
Her fugal interpretation is incredible. I'm using her as my model when I learn this piece.
Yea she's a beast
Fugue was first made to be moving and impress but Bach was also a man of the Age of Enlightenment. He put as well sensuality as strictness in his music ; it's a perfect balance between heart and reason.
This piece sounds beautiful no matter who plays it, and I would say this is the most beautiful of Bach's organ fugues, and this is one of my new favorite interpretations.
Too many performers, and they are mostly organists because it's an organ work originally, treat this music as a vehicle for them to demonstrate their brilliant technique and they play it far too fast. This performance is superb and to my mind captures all that Bach might have wished to communicate. Thank you for making it available. I wish we could hear more from this wonderfully inspired lady.
well said
It is a huge piece of music. I agree it be a dramatic display of technique. Do you think that Liszt would have held back ? Incredible on a "D" .
@@RickT72267 My original comment stated that some performers used this piece as a vehicle for them to demonstrate their brilliant technique, for example by playing it very fast. That is not the same as saying that the piece itself is a dramatic display of technique. It is not. The original organ work is not unduly difficult to play. Certainly transforming it into a piano arrangement allows for it to be made as spectacularly impressive as the arranger chooses, and whatever Liszt may or may not have done with it is neither here not there. This wonderful performance by Svetla Protich is all about Bach, not Liszt.
I absolutely agree with everything you said…she plays this with such intelligence and subtlety…I’ve never heard it played better. No other performance I’ve heard, is as thoroughly aware and sensitive to the layers of counterpoint, as she is here. An absolute gem. 👏👏👏
Finally…! MUSIC!
This is one of the best performances of BWV 543 I have ever heard.
Isn't this a stunningly beautiful piece? It starts simple and pure, and then progresses elegantly. Bach for me is the greatest man who ever lived.
I am inclined to agree with you about Bach...
Well I guess that's pretty much the best 8 minutes on all of youtube right there.
I have heared many version of this fugue played by many famous pianists , but I never heared such a deep interpretation like this .... absolutely the best
Complete clarity, contrast and color mixed with extraordinary rhythm allow Bach to glisten and exude beauty in a touching and transcendent way. Bravo! A true achievement!
Credo sia una delle migliore interpretazione che abbia mai udito. ❤
A unique and moving performance of this Liszt transcription of Bach’s organ masterpiece. 😎🎹
One of the best things I've heard on TH-cam - along with her incredible version of the prelude. Thank you for posting this. I hope that this fabulous pianist is aware of the joy she has brought to the people watching and listening on here.
When she started I thought 'oh...too slow', but then I found I really liked the clarity of the performance
Most other performances are too fast.
Organ can be too overwhelming to the point of muddying the voices together. Piano is more transparent.
I wonder if there's string trio or quartet version of this. I loved Goldberg Variations performed by string trio.
Michael McBain i love bach played a bit slower. Its so beautiful and you can hear it!
You aint lying. Now it's like, all the other versions are played way too fast.
What a beautiful and breathtaking ending! Bravo!
Really a talented pianist. She expresses the wonder of great organ musik most simple and full of emotion. I really love her performance.
I wet myself. This is my favorite Bach piece. She understands the tremendous power and beauty of the music.
As a pianist… I allways come back to Bach… there’s something absolutely unique to the guy…
This subject is everything. Such a genius use of the surrounding E5/B5 chord. Bach has the ultimate talent for turning complex emotions into simple little phrases that use the most genius and emotionally profound intervals. Master of rhythm/timing aswell as the actual notes used. Just has a power that no-one else has harnessed before or since. It's so expressive; I really get a deep sadness from this one, but as is with most Bach pieces, there's still that energetic hope and recognition of divine beauty that underpins most of his work. You hear it in every note and every interval.
Well said.
I am obsessed with this performance. This is one of the most powerful piano performances of any piece I've ever listen to. I want to find a higher quality of this performance so bad.
Look at the way she glances upward as she strikes the first few tender notes, as if the opening theme is a notion that has only just come to her from another realm. Stunning and beautiful.
Sublime clarity. Perfect tempo for this very considered and thought provoking piece. Beautiful.
Wunderschön. Vielen herzlichen Dank ⭐️
The subject is so mesmerizing.
it's beautifull and strong and lots of delicacy in a way i've never seen it before...thank you svetla
Interpretazione stratosferica un livello di pianismo formidabile. Fossi stato in studio mi sarei inginocchiato
Condivido. Grandiosa esecuzione .
Condivido pure io.
Concordo pienamente
Condivido , peccato nn ci siano altri video
Assolutamente d'accordo. Suono ricchissimo. Frase condotta con maestria. A volte un piccolo canto lontano, a volte una grande orchestra! Grandissima!
I can't get enough of this transcription and perfect interpretation. What an incredible listening experience. Thank you 🙏🏼
tears running. moved.
An absolutely superb performance, selfless, utterly dedicated to the music, brilliant technique and moving musicality
Oh, this is pure art! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Meravigliosa lei è questo pezzo.... Scoperta oggi.... Mi metterò subito al lavoro ❤❤❤❤grazie
Touché ! Mrs Protich. Your performance is gorgeous. You do of this work something incomparable that touches with simplicity to the Divine.
Wow - was für eine Performance und dann noch die Kulisse. Auch nach 32 Jahren Klavierspielen frage ich mich immer noch, wie man sich eine so lange Bachfuge auswendig merken und dann noch in dieser Qualität vorspielen kann. Sehr schön ausgedrückt!
How beautiful tone❣️
After listening to many performances of this fugue on youtube, I finally found the best one. Que magnifica!
... unfortunately coupled with a commerce video production.
Vilmos Velinszky As opposed to what kind of other video production?
Practically -- any or every kind (of "video productions"). --- This is Music! -- Where do you see any connection between this fuga and prelude -- and the f... setting?!
A very recognized way of desecration...
I believe the connection is that the venue Protich is sitting in is the room in which she played the piece. You can easily fixing the problem of there being video by only listening to the music and not watching the video.
Off course. --- I was only "amusing" this my "favorite" piece in this very slow manner -- and have become aware (once again) how every cameraman's doing is against all and every kind of real value artistic -- or human at all... So I made my my sarcastic comment....
"...the room in which she played the piece." --- I would have really liked to watch it --- and was really going to do that.... (Are you some kind of camera fan?) (What the cameraman does is absolutely against what you say. The viewer is forced (against his will) to follow the movement of the camera etc.)
The best fugue the best interpretation
Svetla's magnificent performance invigorates the human spirit , and is full of admiration and deep emotion , and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Without Svetla's inspirational performance ,
Bach's this work would have been very lonely , and insipid
and the enjoyment and pleasures of Bach's work would have been less ,
and I would feel that Bach's work is like the taste of stale beer .
Svetla's performance is flawless , stellar and stunning

Every once in a while I listen to your performance and I can enjoy it the older I get. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to this great work! It tells such a story...
Great Learnings never end with J S Bach.
I'm stunned. What a great artist. So deeply touching her play.
Each note so clear and moves like gentle ocean waves. Such a beautiful landscape.
Esecuzione magnifica,l'espressione del Bach che può essere suonato con qualsiasi strumento e interpretato dalle varie scuole.
Bach era un compositore senza tempo. Era lo sguardo nel futuro , è tuttora un grande. Grande Svetla.
Прекрасно! Спасибо!))
Gould never recorded any of the Bach Organ transcriptions. Aside from not being directly from the pen of Bach I think that his style of playing, low to the piano with tactile detached fingers, would not lend itself to the big full body resonance required of these pieces. Ms Protich brings that big romantic sound beautifully to these transcriptions. Bravo !
You mean she's fat?
There is undoubtedly a reason in your words.I think Gould, if he wanted to, could play organ transcriptions of Bach in such a way that we would all really like his performance
Very authentic played, natural as it should be, no theater. Amazing!!!
Wunderschön interpretiert - vollkommen ruhig und unaufgeregt. Ich liebe diese Interpretin.
So beautiful
Je découvre et j adore .La pianiste joue avec ame , cela se voit sur son visage.nous avons ici , une performance technique extraordinaire,et sa compréhension de l oeuvre me semble être très proche de la pensée de Bach .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vielen Dank Pianiste ❤ So glad YT finally recommended this extraordinary pianist what a find these performances are.
So beautiful… Bravo and thank you, Mrs. Protich (and Maestro Bach)
I lesson to many versions this is my favorite. Clear and powerful yet sensitive. The right speed also
This sound is impresive, the knowlege of polifony is total, she is great, the tecnique in playing piano is not how fast you can play, but how pure is the sound, in this case the sound is pefect, you can follow each voice separlly. Bach made a joke about polifony, he said is like three or four ladies drinking tea, all of them speaks at tha same time, and the magic is that they understand each other perfectly.
Great story!
A beautiful performance - structurally, technically, and most of all emotionally.
Interesting that her fugue alone takes only slightly less time than Weissenberg's performance of both the prelude and fugue(!). Both are equally 'valid' and successful approaches to the piece, and help to illustrate the greatness of the source of their inspiration - Bach's original organ work.
Как играет гениально, слезы текут, все струны души задевает... Хорошо, что такое бывает на свете...
Ваша правда - мирово ...- все правильно .не придраться ..идеально ...- но какова глубина осязания полифонической идеи..
I need to play this again. Such an amazing piece, and such a powerful interpretation.
Es maravillosa como toda la música de Bach; yo generalmente prefiero los "instrumentos de epoca", pero no puedo negar que esta transcripción y la interpretación de la pianista es realmente muy emocionante.
i wanna cry
WOW! Great performance! Brava Svetla Protich! This is the only piano-version for this originally for the organ Prelude I have found here in TH-cam, that I find it perfect from all aspects: tempo, articulation. etc. Thanks a lot for uploading.
Quelle magnifique interprétation, pleine de vie et de cœur !! Legato, phrasé, direction vocale, etc... juste sublime !
Bravissima. Interpretazione commovente.. Tocca l'anima
Bravo! Blagodarja..
It's the sweetest and the best interpretation I've heard, so touching...what an incredible pianist, Mrs Svetla Protich !!!
¡Pura genialidad! ¡Maravilloso!
Immense and complex piece, rendered expertly with clarity and power.
Himmel, ist das geil gespielt.
Beautiful. Like a continual breaking and mending of heart .
This fuge i think its one of the best fuge for bach, such a butiful music! Such a feelings, such a ending , what can i say about this blessed composer J.S.Bach you trully blessed from ur foot tell ur head best composer ever , And thanks for the lady who is playing the music ur such a great lady the ending was exactly what i want thanks
MERAVIGLIOSO!!! FINALMENTE UNA INTERPRETAZIONE DOVE NON SI CORRE E SI SENTONO TUTTE LE NOTE CANTATE COME SI DEVE !!! BRAVISSIMA!!!
Absolute fantastic interpretation of Bach's work.
Wanna listen more of her playing..very powerful playing too.
just simple and gorgeous, and just the fugue no prelude here :)
I wasn't familiar with this piece and there is at least two instances in the WTC where the preludes are fugal as well, so I almost thought that was the case here, but you are correct, there is no prelude.
The prelude is in a seperate video
@@prependedprepended6606 the prelude is in this other video :) th-cam.com/video/VRPlBrDlCOI/w-d-xo.html
@@ws7215 yes!
Beautiful performance.
Wonderful. Thank you
Celestial beauty.
She seems to find twice as much beauty in this piece as anyone else!
an extraordinary pianist
Just beutiful!
Supreme Good. i know another her performance exact same BWV543, however, this piece is also pretty good playing. i indeed moved deeply my heart. Thanks a lot !
