I've listened to Bach for over 20 years and never heard a performance so original as this cycle. The variety of tone color, articulation, and phrasing is staggering, a real revelation.
Outstanding. The ornamentation in the prelude was particularly striking, with tasteful and unexpected variations in the repeats, which was 18th century practice. I'm sure Bach would have been thrilled by the performance. I enjoy playing this prelude and fugue in my spare time, and this performance will be an inspiration to my own playing. Thanks.
What a sweet rendition of one of the sweetest preludes in the whole set of WTC I and II; and the fugue--while seemingly serious--is rather quite sweet-natured too! The Kennedy instrument sounds great as always--very tasteful registrations in this space.
Bach acts a bridge to the Divine, it takes a great artist to get themselves out of the way to achieve this. I had not previously heard this artist, but as she played I felt this is how Bach himself would have played. Wonderful performance!
Christine, everytime I listen you playing Bach and can't describe my feeling! The piece sounds like part of you! It's amazing! Thanks for all your recordings! I've listening all of them.
What is most striking to me about this performance is Schornscheim’s use of agogic accents in the prelude. Bach sometimes used dots or other markings to indicate this kind of phrasing. I wonder if the manuscript for this piece includes such indications. In any case, her interpretation is unlike most others in this respect. Scott Ross also uses agogic accents, but pianists almost never do because they have dynamic accents in their toolbox.
Wunderschöne und lyrische Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Tastenwerks im gut betrachteten Tempo mit shimmerndem doch warmherzigem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Cembalos und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Fuge klingt echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Wahrlich intelligente und geniale Cembalistin!
Superbe rendition! ❤ my teacher at cinservatoire was telling me cinstantky to keep a very steady beat on piano while playing Bach. I always had the feeling that his music is very expressive and when we play on clavier like harpsichords we realise that it is impossible to be expressive with just a steady beat! Bach is such an amazing composer.
es increible la inventiva de bach, es meravellós com ho interpreta ella i hauria de ser un goig per a nosaltres que en podem gaudir, per a mí si que ho és, gràcies.
I love the juxtaposition of the 400 year old technology of the harpsichord, and brand new technology of the iPad sitting on it displaying the sheet music.. Also, the music and performance and video production are great. Thank you!
Bellísimo ese Preludio y fuga del 2do libro del Clave bien temperado!!! No lo conocía!!!. Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina Fernando Hidalgo Y Felicitaciones 💥💢💯
Fantastic, I always love the lute stop in pretty much any recordings but on this piece it feels incredibly special. Probably a bias towards one of my favourite of the second book!
Beautiful playing overall. I appreciate listening to this rendition, complete with appropriate ornamentations. While I have grown up listening to Glenn Gould's recordings, I have to say that your performance is quite outstanding. I would only suggest that greater variety be introduced into the fugue, perhaps with better use of the two manuals and their respective registers or pitches.
Vielleicht hätte man mit Manualwechsel (od. ähnliches) im Präludium .... noch etwas stärker "strukturieren" können ... Ansonsten ist diese Interpretation unter das Beste zu zählen, was ich bisher von diesem fantastischen & genialen Stück gehört habe!!
Is there a "soft pedal" on a harpsichord? No, I know it isnt. So why do I feel the Prelude in this like it was a soft pedal there? Perhaps because Chistine Schornsheim is such a good interpreter of Bach? Yes, probably.
This is one f the more moving PF of the whole WTC, even if it not the most complex. Is simple and deliberate "evidence " is astonishing and awesome. The theme of the fugue is quite typical in minor, making use of an implicit tonic chained to a diminished 7th. A quasi similar fugal theme can be found in Mozart's adagio and fugue in C minor, and - always n C minor, in Beethoven's sonatas op. 13 and 111. The parallel sixths of the prelude seem to anticipate Brahms, especially when the tonality turns to the major relative Ab.❤❤❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤❤❤
@@garrysmodsketches Personally, I always enjoy Christine's playing. I find in it a welcome sense of peace. Nevertheless, I've been thinking a lot about your (pre-edit) comment. I looked at one version of the score and found it unusually tricky to work out what Bach intended. This version has trills on the first and second motif but not the third and fourth. I considered many things including direction of each motif, harmony, tension, and release of tension. Also, loss of effect due to excess repetition. I then came up with the following. I've used a soft organ sound rather than harpsichord (maybe with lute stop). I did this for various reasons, including so that I could use note sustain to create tension rather than ornaments (e.g. 01:18 to 01:24). ruclips.net/video/e2LMuvANROg/видео.html I like it. As a performer I worry slightly about the lack of obvious consistency. As a listener I think I don't. Please listen to my recording and post your thoughts. I'm interested. === After recording it, I found a score that has no triils for the opening four motifs. In a way I like that because it solves the "lack of consistency" problem. I might record this version as well. === Context: I'm starting from scratch with the piece. I've not heard or played the piece before, but I do play a lot of Bach including most of his organworks.
0:06 Prelude
4:31 Fuga
Bach music is from heaven, there is no question about it.
Yes. Think about it. I bet that almost every piece in your lifetime that you couldn't get enough of was from Bach.
love her use of the lute stop for these performances I feel like its really underused
The lute stop is incredible.
I wondered why it sounded that way. Thanks.
El clavecinista Glen Wilson también emplea el registro de laud en este mismo preludio. Yo creo que Christine se inspiró en él.
I agree with your very much! I was introduced to the lute-sound of the harpsichord via the recordings made by Robert Hill.
Absolument inédit et merveilleux, NBS NE NOUS OFFRE QUE DU Bach redécouvert 🛐
Her clarity in the thematic exposition is sublime!
I agree!
Outstanding!
I love the sound of that instrument. I'd love to hear the whole WTC by Ms. Schonsheim on this harpsichord
I've listened to Bach for over 20 years and never heard a performance so original as this cycle. The variety of tone color, articulation, and phrasing is staggering, a real revelation.
I agree, an absolutely refreshing take.
Christine is exquisite in her artistic ability !!!❤️
Wenn Bachs Musik wunderbar ist, ruft diese Dame mit ihrer Interpretation Magie hervor. Herzlichen Glückwunsch und Dank.
En un mundo turbulento como el que tenemos ahora, que bien que existan músicos que nos sigan iluminando con las obras de Bach
I was thinking the same listening to this.
Café y Bach me dan ese momento de paz y claridad para comenzar el día. Es un regalo

Played with verve and gentleness. Lovely sound and musicality. Thank you!
What a stunning harpsichord; that sounds is unique. Bravo Christine--your performance is excellent!

Wie eine Zeitreise, beeindruckend.
Very beautiful performance🍃thank's
This fugue, man, this fugue. Simultaneously sublime and badass.
Good morning.
Amazing performance of harpsichord!

Lovely Prelude and fugue in f moll

Prachtige interpretatie op een wonderschoon instrument! En natuurlijk ook weer subliem geregistreerd! Bravissimi!!
es increible la inventiva de bach, es meravellós com ho interpreta ella i hauria de ser un goig per a nosaltres que en podem gaudir, per a mí si que ho és, gràcies.
Perfect interpretation, awesome ambience!
Nice buff/lute stop! And of course, beautifully played. Thank you
Deeply moving piece.
Nice ornaments. Awesome Schornsheim
Just enjoying! The music, the player, the instrument and the place❣️
Lovely interpretation, thank you. And I really appreciate the sonority of this harpsichord...very expressive and not "twangy"!
Perfecta interpretación 👌👌👌
love her interpretations so much🥲🥲
Wow! Divine prelude and interpetration! I love the sound of this instrument, (mostly in the prelude, in the upper keyboard, which less harmonycs).
Beautiful music and instrument.
Beautiful.
I like this fugue when played at moderate speed like this or slow like Tureck.
One of my favourites.
I love the juxtaposition of the 400 year old technology of the harpsichord, and brand new technology of the iPad sitting on it displaying the sheet music.. Also, the music and performance and video production are great. Thank you!
Wonderful performance!
A sublime performance, wow.
Christine Schorschein is a wonderful harpsichordist. I wish she could also record the 1st book.
Oh, she has done the 1st and 2nd. book completely in 2010/11 ! Co-Production SWR/ Capriccio .
Yes, I would especially like to hear her play the great B minor fugue
So beautiful Thankyou!
This is amazing ❤
Perfect comme toujour. Merci)
Bellísimo ese Preludio y fuga del 2do libro del Clave bien temperado!!! No lo conocía!!!.

I have a special connection to this piece as it was the first Prelude and Fugue I ever played. I loved this interpretation, brilliant
Que belleza musical ❤
Wonderful
The best version I have heard so far of my favorite prelude and fugue.
Excelente interpretación, la mejor hasta el momento...
Thank you
Thank you for sharing
So perfect 🥰💞😍
Es extraordinaria! gracias, qué regalo que toca el alma!!!
Love it so much listened several times in a row !
Love the ornamentation. I never heard of the lute stop before but I really like the sound
Just stunning! Thank you for this!
Me sinto flutuando no Universo
I love her performance. I enjoy it everyday!
Me encanta, una delicia! Desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Absolutely magnificent
Amazing Location 🤩
Bach is endless. Just needs another human to read the score and up pops a new facet. Never heard it like this but it does work very well.
Super! ❤
To me, the prelude sounds like it is clearly modeled after D. Scarlatti's style. A nice surprise on a dreary Thursday morning.
Such a sensitive musician.
Deep and fantastic

While I have grown up listening to Glenn Gould's recordings, I have to say that your performance is quite outstanding.

Perfection.
Sei proprio brava!
Délicat et raffiné
Omitting 90% of the trills in the prelude would have better suited my taste, but the fugue was perfect.
Good ❤
Beautiful recording. Which reader are you using for the music and page turning?
I like this new intro, without the sound of the orchestra playing a chord. The older intro was a little bit annoying sometimes
🧡
👏💐
🦉🌸
thank you for the lovely fleeting fugue🎵

What happened to this church ? It was converted into a duplex ?
Yes. It is a former church which was transformed into a factory, when the floor was made. Currently it is an ecological cultural centre.
I wonder why the keys are wearing a tuxedo.

Thank you for my continuing musical education….
It sounds like a lautenwerk
It doesn't feels sorrowful to me.
Makes sense, it was overly ornamented.
The sorrow comes from context about Bach's music
Too many unnecessary ornaments in the Prelude.
how else noticed the cat? xD
Ornaments are overdone
No
@@JSB2500 i think there are too many ornaments, but this is just a matter of opinion of course
I agree. Too much ornamentation sounds cheap. I only do ornaments when the score tells me to.
Definitely....
