  • The fifth ‘French’ Suite in G major, performed by Francesco Corti for All of Bach, is the most tuneful and elegant of the six. It is also the most Italian, says Corti. You can hear that straight away in the Allemande, but even in the Sarabande - a piece where Bach usually searches for harmonic expression - the melody gains the upper hand.

      It was executed well but I wouldn't say in good taste.
      For example in the allemande he used a style of ornamentation more appropriate to a virtuosic/flashy piece, but that is not what the allemande is.

      I thought it was strange that he played a substantially ornamented repeat of the first section A of the Allemande but then did not repeat the second section B at all. In my own performing I often repeat A and not B, but in such cases the repeat of A is exactly the same except maybe a registration change.

    The harpsichord is such an expressive instrument, which makes the piano sound plain and clumsy by comparison? That performance is very musical and the ranges and couplings of the two manuals add to the musician's expressivity. Thank you for the video!

    I listened to this, because it is mentioned in a book called Goedel, Escher, and Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid. The book is actually about consciousness and he uses the last piece in this suite as an example. I was thoroughly amazed at the two seemingly totally separate melodies going on at the same time. Mind blowing.
