    “China’s premier interpreter of Bach”, is what International Piano Magazine called Yuan Sheng. A pupil of Solomon Mikowsky (Manhattan School of Music) and notably Rosalyn Tureck, Yuan Sheng extensively studied the performance practice of Baroque music. Equally at home at the harpsichord he has an instinctive feeling for the possibilities, sonorities and touch of the instrument at hand, so that “the listener might easily have imagined the composer at the keyboard” (Boston Intelligencer).
    The title is misleading: the English Suites are more ‘French’ in character than the French Suites, which are more characteristic of the Italian style. ‘By design the composer is here less learned than in his other suites,’ remarked one early biographer, ‘and has mostly used a pleasing, more predominant melody.’ Just so, and the same is true of the pair of suites BWV 818 and 819 which fall outside the collection but belong with it in terms of style. To all of them Yuan Sheng brings considered tempi and precise articulation in the mould of Tureck. To Bach at his most uncomplicated, Sheng brings the virtues of simplicity and clarity.
    Again Yuan Sheng draws the listener into his highly intelligent musical discourse, vibrant and moving, speaking through the medium of a modern Steinway piano.
    Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach

    This is sublime. Unlike so many performers who seem to want to prove to the listener how brilliant they are, Yuan Sheng seems to want to show the listener how brilliant Bach is; in doing the latter, he also proves without doubt the former. It is magical. Every note is delicate, meaningful; perfect. Thank you for sharing this 🙂

    This is my first contact with Yuan Sheng. He is a young Chinese pianist, with studies in China, Manhattan, and advanced training under the renowned Bach interpreter Rosalyn Tureck . From Tureck he has perfected a crystalline, intellectual, sober approach to Bach. His style has some echoes of Glenn Gould in the schematic, architectonic, unsentimental playing. He reminds me of Alfred Brendel in the intellectual weight of his playing, being his sound very different. His sense of tempo seems to me supernatural. I believe Yuan Sheng will become in the very near future one of the most respected names in the world in interpreting Bach. He has already recorded the 24 preludes of Chopin and given concerts in several countries. Thanks Brilliant Classics for uploading this music and introducing us to this remarkable musician

      @@horationelson57 Dear Paul, thanks for your nice comment. I agree that unsentimental is a complex word and perhaps inadequate. Being English my second language (when I was a kid it was the third), my usage of the language may be slippery. I think, for instance, that Schubert D 960 is sad, even dramatic, perhaps tragic, but not sentimental. Unsentimental does not denote a lack of feeling, it means the abstinence from "sentimentality".

    The French Suites are six and was composed by Bach for harpsichord and clavichord, between 1722 and 1725. The French title serves to differentiate them from the Italian style. They are masterpieces of harmony, delicacy and grace that only an amazing composer like Bach would have written.
    The pianist is fabulous, not only for the sensibility he interprets the pieces but also for the fantastic technique he demonstrates in their execution and magnificent cadence he uses. Thanks for this wonderful performance and recording.

      @@duboisdvoleur Uh huh, sounds like some world class propaganda right there in your answer, during a comment where you are complaining about supposed outside propaganda.
      So, let me get this right, you are saying a govt who does things like going into Tibet and inflicting the horrors they did there, and one that often allows its own citizen's, at least certain portions of them no rights whatsoever, is afraid of some mode of "speech" on the internet?
      I'm not saying ours is much better, if any, in the global respect (but they certainly are in the domestic respect ) BUT they don't then try to hide themselves away from criticism by their populace, for fear that their own people might find out the truth and rise up. Does that sound about right, or am I missing something?
      And remember, you started this. It's not about him "thriving", it's about him being able to share his gifts with the world, and it not being hoarded by some paranoid govt who thinks the bogey man is hiding around every corner, even the DIGITAL ones. Amazing that virtually ALL the other countries in the world have a free internet, isn't it. Only govts scared to death about their (apparently) tenuous hold, like say you, and North Korea find it necessary to shut out what the world thinks about them. Make any sense to you? And no, I am not CIA, never have been, never will be, and never have I personally dealt with them in any way. You will probably think differently, that is just the same paranoia your govt demonstrates. Just because you think the world is out to get you doesn't mean they are.
      Isn't it nice that the world doesn't pull the same kind of crap on YOU, so HE HAS music like Bach's to play? I don't know if that got in previously (I know it didn't in most of the Soviet Union, because I have a friend who started Music Mission Kyiv, and he said they were hearing much of the music (Bach, Brahms, Verdi, etc) for the first time when his group (members of Kyiv orchestra and local auditioned singers) presented it. I clarified HOW I know about that cultural wall, so you would not think "only the CIA would have that information"...it doesn't work that way in a free society...so don't impart what you (apparently) know as a standard as the WORLD'S standard. It is not, it is the small exception (govt wise, obviously population wise China is HUGE).
      Feel free to respond, but if you do, please surprise me and actually answer my points (happens about one time in a hundred), instead of just trying to insult me or redirect me to nonsense, it will have no effect on me, or likely most anyone else that reads it. Cheers.
      Oh yeah, one more question, would you consider anything I just wrote "hate speech" because I'd like to pin down your definition of it. I know my definition, and what I said here isn't even REMOTELY it. I can direct you to some in YT comments if you want to understand what I consider hate speech (blatant mean racism, and the like).

      According to you I am "unaware of facts", have "bought into every Western lie available", and "believe obviously fabricated lies about China" (really, like the one about Tibet...you are an idiot, ANYONE ANYWHERE can verify what happened there, or is the Dali Lhama lying?).
      And apparently I am racist, as well. wow, couldn't think of any other useless barbs, backed up by absolutely nothing to throw. I'm disappointed.
      Now, you moronic ass hat..how about you try addressing at LEAST ONE of my points. God, you really need some classes on logic and debate. What you did there would convince nobody of anything, save another mentally vacuous person like you appear here. Pathetic. I hope China has better than your sorry ass to defend it. Bring it on back, this time with some actual substance, if you can. LOL

    The French Suites are six suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1722 and 1725. A suite is a group of dances.
    300 years later... And we are still admiring the genius of Bach....

    This is an eye-opener. Rosalyn Tureck will always remain the goddess among Bach interpreters. Yet, most of her recordings were made in the mono era. Here, we can hear surely one of her best pupils playing Bach with a purity and stylistic accuracy that do his teacher proud. Prof Sheng does not allow his personality or emotions to come between the music and the listener. No wonder some commentators compared him to Brendel, who manages to do the same for Beethoven. It is amazing that at no point does one feel that there is display of virtuosity. Equally, there is no affectation or preciosity (sorry about using these big words that are often used in music reviews). This is art that conceals art. It is ironic that we hear so little from this piano professor based in Beijing, who has so much to teach the world, while most people think that Lang is the best Chinese pianist.

    For many years I have been thinking that Glenn Gould's interpretation of the French Suites was the nec plus ultra. And now this. I am completely addicted to Yuan Shen's approach to J.S. Bach. It's got all the warmth, transparency and natural understanding of tempi, which I had missed without knowing that all this can be found in this music If only Mr. Sheng plays it.
