How can we take at once the genious of JS Bach? never got out of Germany but he took all the techniques of italian Maestros. I have play a lots of iTALIAN STUFF AND THIS IS ONE OF THE CAPOLAVOROS. As storic keyboards player I am fully in love with the way you play. So thank you James
I love getting a bit of historical background on these pieces too. Also hearing James's experience with the pieces, all adds to the quality of the enjoyment of the music :0)
Agree with your statement,James: To play this toccata publicly is one for adrenaline junkies. I would love to do it, but will likely never be able to do so in this life. Does not stop me to have a go at these octaves and passages in the privacy of my electronic instrument headphoned hobby pianist enclave. Thanks for sharing your version on youtube
What kind of piano playing machine are you?! I love this piece so much and I love J.S. Bach. This is such a great rendition of this piece. Huge props to you for playing such a complex piece of music.
I've stated on some other videos of yours how amazing I find your playing. Your honesty about the frustration you face lets me know I'm not alone! I've locked the ax so I think before I chop the keyboard!
Nice to have the brief introduction by the performer. My biggest question regards the pedalling and dare I say an effect at times that is little less than smudging. No matter that Busoni was a Romantic arranger; we have learned a few things since then. Expressive sonority never has an excuse for dominating the note in Bach.
Very well played! Though a bit stretched with pedal and legato for being a Bach transcription. Can’t say the same about the filming - it s impossible to observe the hands properly!
@@moreira7daniel Glad you mentioned this Dan because I'd like to hear those parts as well. Unfortunately I can't find the links for them. If you (or anyone else) has those links please share them.
This is just silly! 2:12-3:43 is original for the feet. Many organists play the pedalsolo faster with their two feet than you play it with your ten fingers! Please do something else!
Wonderful!!! No words to say how perfect and divine is his performance.
Wonderful! So many musical thoughts in this piece, and you get to all of them...

Bravo!
If "indigestion" has allowed you to play this piece so well, then eat more tacos! I think you've played the three parts extremely well.
Adorável
Hideous?! It's absolutely charming! :)
the open them sounds like a cell phone ring/notification.
Monster !!!

I liked the bit in C major.
Bravo!!! Do you plan to study the Adagio and the Fugue also?
I regret that no sooner had I posted the comment above than I saw both the Adagio and the Fugue published right next. I'm sorry!

Sheesh. Wasn't hard to find after all - Adagio: ruclips.net/video/-FPJ7HOehMo/видео.html, Fugue: ruclips.net/video/cL1urNVVJCs/видео.html

No one says who the hell the pianist is!!!
so awkward..and it could all go so horribly wrong
