Me encantó esta interpretación, tan suave, lenta, permitiendo apreciar las notas y matices, no sé porque estos pequeños preludios siempre se tocan tan rápidos...con lo bonitos que quedan así. Gracias
I found this to be refreshing. Bach pieces, as stated before by others, are often raced through because you can play fast and to show that you can play fast. This was deep, romantic and soul filled. Bach wrote many of his pieces as teaching tools. I believe, as the player being compared to a cook in a kitchen, we can salt and pepper pieces to our taste. I liked this a lot. I am learning this piece now and I liked the interpretation very much. For many of us non professional pianist I say PLAY IT HOW YOU FEEL!
He has the freedom to play the way he likes and he also adds something new which is good, he does not have to play the way everyone wants , every person plays for himself not to satisfy people.
Quelle superbe interprétation de ce morceau si souvent entendu joué à la manière " robot " ! Félicitations, vous lui insufflez une merveilleuse sensibilité !
I'm just learning this piece and THIS is how I plan on playing it! This performance moves it from dark to passionate. Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
Bravissimo! J'aime beaucoup le tempo lent que vous choisissez ! L'œuvre est bien ecrite pour mettre en valeur les beaux changements d'accords et transitions harmoniques. Félicitations ! Akustik band Strasbourg
This is such a bizarre interpretation of the piece -- every element of "traditional" Bach performance thrown to the wind -- that it winds up being one of my favorites. He's playing it (1) on a piano; (2) using the sustain pedal; (3) employing wide and/or sudden dynamic shifts; (4) warping the tempo from here to there (not necessarily rubato proper); etc. It is literally the most un-Bach performance I've ever heard, and I like it. I like how he brings out the left hand, which I don't hear often enough. Although he made the conscious decision to do all these heresies, he might have found some logic in it and experimented with it: Perhaps the question follows that, because to most Baroque-era purists that "authenticity" ends (and pearl clutching begins) as soon as one touches a piano keyboard and says the name "Johann Sebastian Bach", what would happen if the strictness regarding the other elements defining authentic performance practice could be toned down or fully thrown out as well? What would happen if we took Bach and played his music in the style of Schumann or Chopin? What would happen if we took the music of Ravel and played it to sound as if it were written by Bach? (For an answer to that one, hunt down Samson Fançois's performance of the Prelude from 'Le Tombeau de Couperin' -- I'll do it for you, at /watch?v=PKWOWsX4S4Y ). I find these questions as well as their answers fascinating. After all, how many times have we heard this same prelude played the same way on the same instrument (at least the harpsichord), with the same articulation? Maybe he's uneducated and doesn't know better, but I'd bet on the contrary: he knows exactly what he's doing and what he's not doing, and both are calculated.
Very nice. I do wonder what the RCM / ABRSM grading would look like if it was played like that for an exam. But to heck with the exams :) Loved this interpretation.
L'escuzione di questo preludio la ritengo molto bella, perchè esula dagli schemi classici che tutti conosciamo. Forse troppo romantica? Nooooooo! penso che un pò di romanticismo ci stia a pennello! La nostra mente è avvolta in questo pahos, ed è libera di spaziare in mondi fantastici.
Nobody really knows how exactly, Johan Sebastian plays that... but, I think hearig a profound respect for the religius personality of the great composer... so ... I think he is doing the wright thing...
Yes, tempo is very very slow, but this is, nevertheless, a beautiful interpretation, really intimate, and I like, even if, at the piano, I prefer to play it a bit faster.
Somewhat too slow, but it is usually taken at much too rapid a tempo that causes loss of the harmonic architecture. Bach is all about musical architecture.
Чем так плох данный эксперимент? Думаю, и такое исполнение имеет право на сущетсвование. Почему же упрощенно? Наоборот, каждый гармонический ход звучит очень сочно и по-новому.
,, каждый..,, . А Бах это смысл и форма. Любая интерпретация имеет право на существование,это ведь музыка а не картина. И индивидуальный вкус тоже . Понравилось, воздействует, и хорошо.
Many times, Bach is played as a race who has faster fingers. On the other hand this interpretation goes against the spirit of Bach music from my personal opinion. I have respect for all pianists, but I find this interpretation way too romantic. Bach was very humble and modest person as according to the history facts. But this is played like Chopin, and it is disturbing for the flow, the principle of this music. The difference between the styles is in the words Soli Dei Gloria, only later composers in 19th century were "showing off" their own deep feelings as the main topic of the music. Baroque music is different. Also without considerring the reformation religious and cultural context, Bach can be misunderstood like this. Also i recommend the study of the period instruments, for which this music was composed - it was composed for Clavichord.
Jan Čamek - this is such a purist point of view, and not the first nor the last, so much so that perhaps people should stop playing everything Bach on a piano because most Bach pieces were composed for the clavichord? It’s comments like these that make classical music unpopular with the masses... Thank goodness people play pieces as they wish and not because some made up music police says it should be played this way only...music is limitless the mindset of playing something in a specific way only is not.
It’s beautiful, but so romantic in interpretation that I don’t relate it to Bach and the Baroque style of his time. Call me a purist, but I’m not happy with it.
Non je trouve que il a raison cette pièce est à l’origine pour clavecin, il n’y a pas à mettre tant de nuances puisque sur clavecin il n’y en a pas , en plus cette œuvre n’est pas faite pour jouer si lentement ce n’est plus du Bach , de plus ce morceau doit ce jouer au même tempo du début à la fin si ce n’est la fin que l’on peut deceleré, j’ai aussi entendu qu’il utilisait les pedale , pourquoi toujours cette manie d’utiliser constamment les pédales c’est comme si on jouait les indes galantes de rameau avec pedales une honte

finally someone who plays it like it was a lute. So many pianists rushing through as fast as they can. Thank you for this beautiful performance.
J’adore cette interprétation tout en romantisme bravo
Quanto sentimento e delicatezza in questa interpretazione.... anche una forma di rispetto nei confronti del compositore
Complimenti veramente ❤
Sooo very beautiful ! You gave it the right pace for us to enjoy it ! Thank you so much ! 🎶🎹🎵
Me encantó esta interpretación, tan suave, lenta, permitiendo apreciar las notas y matices, no sé porque estos pequeños preludios siempre se tocan tan rápidos...con lo bonitos que quedan así. Gracias
I love this… a musician UNDERSTANDING the music and the deep beauty in the composition… from there, taking it… beyond time and space! ❤️

You're perfectly right. Music is alive, That's what matters
Normally you are not supposed to play Bach with such a romantic touch and so much rubato and pedal ! But it is beautiful, still. :-)
Quelle superbe interprétation de ce morceau si souvent entendu joué à la manière " robot " ! Félicitations, vous lui insufflez une merveilleuse sensibilité !
I used to think that this piece is supposed to be fast, but I really like your version, very deep and calm, impressive 👏👏👏
I'm just learning this piece and THIS is how I plan on playing it! This performance moves it from dark to passionate. Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
Amazing how much difference interpretations make.
I never heard this piece in such a way, thank you!
When Bach sounds like Chopin
You must be very courageous to play this prelude so slowly. Bravo!
Outstanding performance. Bravo!
Bravissimo! J'aime beaucoup le tempo lent que vous choisissez ! L'œuvre est bien ecrite pour mettre en valeur les beaux changements d'accords et transitions harmoniques. Félicitations !

The most heartbreaking interpretation ever 💔 I love it ❤️
Unique approach. Very distinctive, to say the least
I’m learning this on guitar, fun but difficult
Me surpreendi com sua ousadia de sair da receita do mestre Bach, e fazer tudo ao seu próprio gosto!
😮❤
It is rather unusual to play this peace in this low pace. However: it is most beautifull this way :-)
This is superb!! Bach played with Passion! This tempo brings out all the feelings!
This is great
I like the way he´s playing. I think the piece is very much suited to give it a romantic twist.
I think the same as you, Good day

Sacrilegious boy

WOW!!! I adore this interpretation a lot!! Very emotive!!! Bravo!!
Que alguien le de un abrazo a este muchacho
I like this slow version to the fast ones.
I like you play this piece music with this tempo. Thank you.
De lasinterpretaciones más bonitas he visto. Preciosa!!
Love the tempo and dynamics. Gentle and poignant.
L'escuzione di questo preludio la ritengo molto bella, perchè esula dagli schemi classici che tutti conosciamo. Forse troppo romantica? Nooooooo! penso che un pò di romanticismo ci stia a pennello! La nostra mente è avvolta in questo pahos, ed è libera di spaziare in mondi fantastici.
A distinguishable version! The Pianist's insight is "heard"!
Nobody really knows
how exactly, Johan Sebastian
plays that...
but, I think hearig
a profound respect
for the religius personality
of the great composer...
so ...
I think he is doing the wright thing...
J'apprécie le rythme joué avec une émotion contenue ...c' est vraiment très beau
Félicitation !
Amazing! Its the „ moonlight sonata“ but by Beethoven but Boy Bach
fabuleux
Great interpretation...very intriguing...in the end we should all try to be musical and creative in our playing. Personally I prefer it at a tempo...
He has a lot of feeling in piano !!!!👍👍
una interpretazione fantastica .. complimenti Paolo
Affectionately!
Interpretazione davvero intensa, toccante...🙏🎶
Bravo!
I personally love it but I wonder what musicians of a higher caliber than me would think, not the critics. The piano sounds great too.
hermosa tu interpretación...qué libertad!
Beautiful interpretation
Stupenda visione.
I appreciate it very much... slowly is much deep
Дуже добре. Не треба поспішати перед обличчям Вічного Бога
Love it! So much feeling.
Beautiful
A particularly beautiful rendition, what a shame the audio is not as good as it could, enjoyed it anyway, thanks.
Molto bello suonato così il 999
Yes, tempo is very very slow, but this is, nevertheless, a beautiful interpretation, really intimate, and I like, even if, at the piano, I prefer to play it a bit faster.
Different and special
Bravissimo
Parabéns!
trop d emotion tue l émotion auto satisfaction quand tu nous tient...
Somewhat too slow, but it is usually taken at much too rapid a tempo that causes loss of the harmonic architecture. Bach is all about musical architecture.
I like it very very much, and the tempo is very slow
Now I'm wondering how Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata would sound if it had this piece's actual tempo instead
I don’t think Bach had any tempo written on this piece, and we should respect the Artist interpretation. Though I would prefer it a bit faster.
ma questa é la versione per liuto suonata al piano!...wow!
Anch’io suono questo pezzo allo stesso modo,lo trovò più romantico e coinvolgente.
Упрощённый стиль... Бедный Бах. Он же не наркоман был а гений..
Чем так плох данный эксперимент? Думаю, и такое исполнение имеет право на сущетсвование. Почему же упрощенно? Наоборот, каждый гармонический ход звучит очень сочно и по-новому.

You turned it into Moonlight Sonata :(

I agree, Jan...!
Это не интерпретация а кофейная гуща... Согласен с вами
Actually written for the lute, not clavichord
It’s beautiful, but so romantic in interpretation that I don’t relate it to Bach and the Baroque style of his time. Call me a purist, but I’m not happy with it.
what?😂
Très beau mais trop de chichi aussi. Marre de ces pianistes qui se donnent en spectacle et qui se la jouent.
Un peu sévère...!!! :-) Mais je préfère, par exemple... ruclips.net/video/jmJ0gv2xNUo/видео.html
C'est surtout que tu ne comprends rien à la beauté de la musique
Non je trouve que il a raison cette pièce est à l’origine pour clavecin, il n’y a pas à mettre tant de nuances puisque sur clavecin il n’y en a pas , en plus cette œuvre n’est pas faite pour jouer si lentement ce n’est plus du Bach , de plus ce morceau doit ce jouer au même tempo du début à la fin si ce n’est la fin que l’on peut deceleré, j’ai aussi entendu qu’il utilisait les pedale , pourquoi toujours cette manie d’utiliser constamment les pédales c’est comme si on jouait les indes galantes de rameau avec pedales une honte
He don't understand this piece of music:/
But he plays more beautifully than usual !!!
I think he understands it better than most others who play it.
