Fray’s performance of the toccata: slow, significant voice separation, multiple inflections of touch/interpretation, and a startling amount of respect for what could be interpreted as minimalist melodies that blossom into romantic ideas of tenderness and loss. Only his performance convinced me of the greatness of this piece as a romantic epic
Just the most splendid and dazzling interpretation. Fray has a certain virtuosity but it’s tempered with an austere modesty and ability to be communicate with the most profound emotional delicacy. Such an exciting talent.
Fascinating, or more than that, a GENIUS interpretation. The voices are so clear and beautifully intonated that is unbelievable. The control that he has of tone and sound texture is infinite
Да , каждая деталька скрупулёзно проработана и смело презентована(ярко,очень эффектно), я заметил это по его версии пиано кончерто, но с другой стороны дух и интонация все теже сладкие для уха…Баховские .У Перайи сарабанда в 6 партите немного лучше звучит, там нет «загадочных» церемониальных пауз.Всеравно это фантастика слушать Давида
Every once in a very rare while, a musician of David"s extraordinary calibre comes along and the alchemy of composer and pianist/musician break even in the most wonderful & musically spiritual collaboration. David's insight and understanding of Bach is simply profound and a gift to any Bach lover. Thank you David for another enriching jewel of a performance. Your African Antipode💛
I find this interpretation absolutely fascinating. There are of course differing conceptions as to how Bach should be delivered on a modern concert grand. For me the criterion is simply this - a performance must live and speak to me, Fray achieves this splendidly. Consequently I have no rigid opinions to expound concerning period and style when a performance is truly engaging.
Yes I tend to agree. It is part of the beauty of those pieces that they may be played in so many different ways in terms of articulation, dynamics ... I just listened to one version of Sokolov which was super fast - whilst I can admire the virtuosity it actually touched me less than this one.
Yes, nr 6th initial fugue and final guigue... thats not baroque, not classic, thats pure romantic expression, 100 years ahead of his time. And Davids slow tempi allows to taste it deeply. Both composer and performer... beautiful.
This is entirely right, sensitive and wholesomely Bach. This is such extraordinary music, beautifully voiced in its execution and giving a deep insight into the great man. I love the judicious use of pedal that others over indulge unfortunately.
Une conception - architectonique! Géniale. En plus, détails de diamant véritable..............des pensées de music eternelle, sous une voûte céleste........Merci D F
This is a very sensitive and enjoyable interpretation. We are creating a new art form by performing Baroque music on a 20th/21st century Steinway or other fine modern instruments. The harpsichords and clavichords of Bach's day could not perform the graduations of dynamics or touch we have available to us now.
So beautiful! The pianist must really, really, really understand the full nature of the music to perform it this well. This goes in to "Favorites". Many thanks! (from Canada)

Thank you so much David, I really really enjoyed listening and watching you playing this, it’s absolutely and utterly beautiful and amazing too. You are so talented and seriously amazing too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
una perfecta interpretacion de la musica de teclado de Bach requiere un control absoluto del legato, una perecta articulación y un respeto absoluto a la imnteligibilidad de las voces. Todo esto lo tiene Fray. Tambien lo tiene Gould, pero éste le añade un plus de sonoridad y de energía. Para mi Gould sigue siendo el mejor, con la únioca excepci´pon de los Partitas interpretadas por Rosalyn Tureck,. indiscutiblemente la mejor.
@@joangarcia-alsina2932 Puede creer que admiro a Gould pero ya atraves de los años me estoy disgustando solo por que solía cantar con sus interpretaciones. Algo antes no me molestaba - pero me he vuelto en resabioso a esta edad.
interrupting this magnificent interpretation of Bach which speaks so much to the soul and which uplifts our humanity in us, is on RUclips's part a dreadful negation of art, in addition to a gigantic vulgarity with the only one goal: to collect money of pubicites. It's a big big shame . Shame on YT !!
On the other hand the fact that this magnificent interpretation is directly and freely accessible to anyone having internet access, that is, billions of human beings, is a wonderful thing, don't you think?
Fascination but 5:39 to 6:01 I absolutely disagree, this should be the culminating point of this opening , to be played with maximum intensity (not discretion)
Love that sarabande, deliciously intricate. In saying that, I often find the pianists' egos in demonstrating virtuosity leads to excess speed to the detriment of the subtleties of harmony especially in terms of the suspensions carrying from one chord to another for instance which Bach uses a lot... This gets lost in too much speed. I can see Fray attempt at slowing down on the repeat of the first part of the marvellous Gigue and taking the time to make things ring... It's so much better. I often think of people in those days, without cars and planes, walking and who thought nothing of walking for days to go from A to B... As Bach did on several occasions to go and listen to organ masters... Perhaps they lived at a slower pace overall... The Tempo di Gavotta seems pretty erratic to me, aside drom the fact that Frey simplifies the first notes as equal whereas they're clearly written as unequal. Overall these guys like Frey are very good but they tend to approach things too forcefully to my taste. A little brutish. I have to conclude Perahia is vastly superior on this one.
Dieser Interpret ist technisch gesehen auf hohem Niveau, aber er hat Bach nicht verstanden, indem er die langsamen Teile romantisiert und die Bachsche Stringenz missen lässt, die die besondere Energie seiner Musik ausmacht.
В своём роде хорошо. Но где же баховская энергетика? Её почти нет. Нет и полной отрешенности от мира, как бы ни хотел этого исполнитель. Если бы не гениальность музыки самой по себе, её интерпретацию становится иногда просто скучно слушать. В таком виде.
Увы, оттопыривание губы и двигание челюстью не помогает Дэвиду исПОЛНить Баха 😂 А стульчик со скрюченной спиной не делает Гульдом, как бы Дэвиду этого не хотелось 😢 Давидушка, Бах - это не детские пьески Шумана..
Все эти разглагольствования о преимуществе одной интерпретации музыки Баха над другой - чушь. Субстанция музыки Баха незыблема, и ни от темпа, ни от фразировок или «идеологий» исполнителей (серьёзных и грамотных, конечно) не зависит. Содержание музыки Баха ничто не способно испортить. Способов её играть - тысячи. В этом-то, именно, и уникальность гения Баха.

une fierte française ... il est tellement bon dans Bach et Mozart
Un tel charisme ne s’était pas vu depuis Gould, mais avec tellement plus d’humanité!
❤
Oui charisme pour le musicien et l’homme
C est une blague ?
his control of the voicing is mesmerizing
Pardon me if I repeat a comment I made on another video: "Life is too short to play Bach's music too fast." This is simply perfect.
😂😂😂
This must be one of the stupidest things I’ve read on RUclips.
Totally agree. This is one of the finest of the Bach clavier partitas and I love the slower and more expressive rendition here.

Как это чудесно-Бах с исполнении Давида. Такие музыканты рождаются по велению бога.

No such thing as “god.”
The prelude is one of the most moving, beautiful things I’ve ever heard. The entire partita is great but the prelude is simply out of this world.
Among the great classical recordings ever, a master.

the magic of bach and his music
Magnificent interpretation, no question JS Bach's crown jewel of Partitas. Beautiful sentiment evoked in this performance. Thank you
Would vote for No. 4 as the "crown jewel." 😊

he really does play in that position like Glen Gould did. he has such sensitive fingers. beautiful playing, just so flowing ~ ~ ~
La plénitude de Bach magnifiée par votre son si poétique, et déterminé .Grâce à vous, merci de tout cœur.
Es la reencarnación de Gould?
I literaly laughed after listening to Air interpretation. What a genius. No sarcasm but by his geniusness and madness.
I rarely hear pianissimo when pianists play Bach. Interesting version.
Really beautiful and deep playing. I particularly love the dynamics, they really bring the music to life and add poetry to it. Inspiring
This might be be greatest thing Bach ever wrote for the harpsichord next to the Goldberg Variations.
This is entirely right, sensitive and wholesomely Bach. This is such extraordinary music, beautifully voiced in its execution and giving a deep insight into the great man. I love the judicious use of pedal that others over indulge unfortunately.
Fantástico logro del diálogo de las voces interpretadas independientemente por cada mano 🎉
He is genius. So Bach
Splendide...Merci encore.

Al di la' della tecnica sopraffina,David piace e fa discutere per l'interpretazione quasi romantica.Comunque un grande sensibilissimo artista!
Мне понравилось что вы уловили,и всё же,не стоит из непревзойдённого Баха делать Шопена,Бах это нечто большее...
Escuchar y ver esto es una experiencia religiosa. Bach inmortal. / Hearing and seeing this is a religious experience. Immortal Bach.

Great thanks 🎼🎹🌟❤️
Giant.
If Bach had a modern piano, this is how he would have played.
I highly doubt that, since it is a dance suite. this interpretation is ridiculously lyrical, particularly the gigue.

Ads are horrendous-let’s put an end to this butchery of classical music
Me quedo con Brendel( no sé si tocaba Bach,pero no importa).Se viste bien, no hace morisquetas y no se come las uñas.Suficiente.
А Гульд играл Баха убедительнее. Слишком много, какой-то лирики не присущей Баху.
Браво! вы попали в точку.Бах это прежде всего-Энергия.....
quello che Lei segna come tempo di Gavotta in realtà è una GIGA e quello che segna come Giga in realtà è un FUGATO che non a tempo di Giga
