Yes, Martin Helmchen does an amazing performance of this Bach. Yes, very lively and fine dynamic range without pounding any of the notes. Excellent fingering technique. A top-notch pianist and fine interpreter of Bach. This is a real treat, thank you!! (from Canada)
If calling a performance musical is meaningful and i believe it is, then that is what describes this pianist's style and execution, eminently musical especially in the Sarabande.
Magnificent Pianist !....I was fortunate to have been a friend of Vladimir Horowitz and can tell you that he would have flipped for your Playing.......keep up the Spectacular Playing...Alan B. Juilliard M.M. 1977
Just phenomenal! His execution is effortless and joyful. I'm so glad to be able to hear this without ads and publicity. Thank you for the good work, DW!
Je dois dire….Pour le Glen Gouldien convaincu que je suis que voilà une belle interprétation ! De la nuance, sans trop, un bon équilibre des deux mains et une belle articulation. J’ai particulièrement apprécié les menuets pleins de délicatesse. Bravo. Dommage que cette Partita et les autres n’apparaissent pas dans sa discographie.❤
Glenn Gould rimane per me inarrivabile. Helmchen e' tuttavia un grandissimo interprete di questa magnifica partita. Sottolineo che questo artista ha registrato per ALPHA l'integrale delle sei partite su un magnifico piano a tangente del 1797. Da avere assolutamente.
I was introduced to this music in Dinu Lipatti's 1950 recording and have loved it ever since. That's 74 years of music appreciation. Thank you JSB. This is a very musical performance.

One of the best performances of Partita # 1 I have ever experienced. And, I have watched dozens of attempts, with only 1 or 2 at this level of excellence. Bravo !!! Martino !!! (I know your name is Martin, but it's extra praise, really.
I think part of Bach's genius lies in the fact that most of his pieces can be interpreted Romantically as well as in the traditional Baroque manner. Thanks to the modern piano, crescendi/decrescendi (as opposed to terraced dynamics), gradual ritardandi, pointillistic articulations, etc., can be deployed to great effect by a good pianist. Busoni understood this and his Bach-on-steroids transcriptions took this idea to its logical extreme!
This is very good. If I had never heard Dinu Lipatti playing the same piece, I might have thought one could not do much better, but Lipatti (both the studio version and the Besancon Live performance) is on a completely different plane.
@@Schleiermacher1000 I hope, it is not condescending. It is only my humble opinion. Comparing with Andras Schiff and Murray Perahia, I think, that there are some differences, logically.
I appreciate what you mean, but on the contrary! This shaping is actually possessing of a great fluency in movement, with gentle swooping upbeats making downbeats feel extremely gentle and well-placed - very dance-like. If you listen to the meter with the hope to really dance, you'll find it here!
It is a shame to play Bach on the Modern piano...educate yourself about the historical performance practice. We study this so called early music and it is so hilarious to see people ignore facts about great composers of the past.
We agree with the two comments before us. Musical practices evolve and grow. Historically accurate renditions are great, but so are more modern interpretations :)
@@DWClassicalMusic that is a hilarious statement. Music of Bach was performed in the best way by people like himself, his sons, pupils and some others like Quantz etc. who left us treatises which clearly show their music was performed with much more different principles unlike today. Bruce Haynes discussed your stupid nonsense in his fantastic eternal book "the end of early music" published by Oxford University Press. We study early music and try our best to perform the music of the past as close as possible to what we have from them: their music in urtext edition at least, instruments of their time or copies, treatises, paintings, magazines and other sources. Your opinion: we play the music the way we like NOW and it is Scheiss egal how they played back then because we are superior!!! You deutsche Welle and your terrible political agenda, get some historically informed professors from Basel, the Hauge, London or Amsterdam who can wake you up. Otherwise post your shitty Shostakovich and such headache music with your modern instruments. Music from psychopaths FOR psychopaths!! Leave Bach alone ...
Very nice playing. Break the habit of non-legato in the right hand and, for no apparent reason in similar passages, legato in the left. The non-legato sounds fussy - just let the piano sing with a light legato.
I think, it is a special performance of H.H. with a nice ornamentation. I prefer the cantabile style of Andras Schiff and Murray Perahia. H.H. performs for my taste with too much staccato and with a lack of dynamics and fluency.
Try not looking. It’s not like he is trying to do that. If you haven’t played this stuff, on the level at which you’re creating the line and making everything work, and you’ve got these voices (in your hands) singing to each other, and so forth, then you may not realize how one’s face expresses what you’re doing. You can train yourself not to do it, but it’s actually distracting to STOP. Some people find it so distracting to keep still that they can’t play normally that way. So give people a break. If you’re not comfortable watching it, close your eyes. Don’t be surprised when someone tells you that you are doing it, too, listening with your eyes closed!

He's the opposite of Glenn Gould.
He cannot sing...
This style is good too😊
This isn’t the insult you think it is
@@TomTom53421 No insult intended. Interpretations may differ, but are equally valid.
And that's a good thing
❤
Is this the special wing that Mr. Helmchen had made?
Channeling his inner Glenn Gould
5:38
I see some influence of Glenn Gould on his play.
I had the chance to hear Martha Argerich opening her concert with this partita unfirtunateky i cant find this on you tube….
Silk and honey with precision and panache!
You mean 1726 and 1731?
Listen to Sokolov's first Partita by Bach and the come back and you will have no words to comment...
Please play it clavecimble! PLEASE!😭
Glenn Gould, eat your heart out!
YOU invent him???
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪👏👏👏👏👏👏
he reminds of Andrea Schiff in early years,.
He does, doesn't he? :)
@@DWClassicalMusicabsolutely,.... softness which leads to losing the essence times...
me gusta mas al clave
Ten pan gra na miarę Glenna Goulda.
Die Allemande spielt H.H. nicht so durchgehend flüssig wie andere Pianisten.
Das Praeludium finde ich besser.
Well, don't be so condescending!

Una punta di inutile manierismo. E quel arpeggio finale del preludio da dove viene? Comunque un pianista molto dotato
If you like Chopin, fine. P.ease play Chopin.
could've been amazing overall, but the sarabande is too fast :(
He's playing like a 70% Cortot, just a bit more muscular.
It is a shame to play Bach on the Modern piano...educate yourself about the historical performance practice. We study this so called early music and it is so hilarious to see people ignore facts about great composers of the past.
Bach was not narrow minded. He would not have objected to putting his music in this beautiful form.

It should be played a bit less nicely, as for real men, and not poor ladies drinking tee. Less barock-like also.

Guitarists mastered the art of "guitar face;" now it's time for "piano face" to shine.
What an absurd aspect of a musician's performance to focus on. You might as well be talking about what brand of shoes he's wearing.
