Classical music is a language of the soul. The way it captures and conveys emotions without words is truly extraordinary. Each piece tells a story, evoking a myriad of feelings and sparking the imagination.
If I only I could have you tube when I was young when I was studying Bach life would be easier for me. This really helps thanks for the video. Now I am teaching this ☺️
The way he starts the second section of the prelude is inspired. The Gavottes are very elegant, but the inverted Gigue is more of a power exercise. Levin's playing of Bach is exceptional.
This is a wonderful rendition of the g minor on piano because it has GUTS. I am so sick of gutless Bach and Mozart I could spit! thank you for sharing it! As a fellow performer I could live without the repeats on the less lively/familiar mvts, but bravo bravo bravo!
11:44 The power of the dark goddess is with me. Black Alice has showed her true form!!

I still can't believe how the hell i managed to study 2 full of these suites + 25 studies + all scales in 3 modes + a whole chopin work for my piano diploma
The score in the video seems to be Henle Verlag edition. In the prelude, they repeat the mistake from the first Bach-Gesellschaft edition (corrected in their second edition): in bar 15, there's Eb major chord (Eb, G, Bb) in the right hand while there should be G minor one (D, G, Bb). Strange enough, as no other old or modern edition has this version and none of the performers play it. The sound here follows the correct score :)
My man, I've got the Henle and was instinctively wondering whether Eb was right or whether I should correct it to a Gm chord. Thanks :D Guess I'll be buying Bärenreiter next time.
That's typical baroque performance practice. Back then, the lines between composer and 'interpreter' were fuzzy. Indeed, the very concept of interpreter is a modern one.
There are lots of videos on Bach but I think only one does a good job describing the world in which he lived-- Kenneth Clark's Civilisation #9 on you-tube. Bach's music is universal and transcends time, Handel was comfortable being composer for his time and he also become very wealthy.
In the Barenreiter edition of the suite, the one I own at least, the mordant is indicated. I personally don't do it, since I find it rather awkward, but it's there
@@giacomopizzetti1625 yeah same I also don’t play the mordants before the trill for the left hand. I play them staccato as that’s what’s on the music sheet I have.
Anch'io la pensavo così.. e forse lo penso ancora, però se lo vedi più come un esercizio mentale assurdo allora può piacerti di più. Non pensarlo come un Sudoku, ma come una partita di scacchi geniale

This is baroque music.

i am young, and thats why im taking this advantage right now🙃
I had the exact same thought while listening to this. 😊👍
Is this a difficult piece? I'm exclusively referring to the prelude
@@aaronmann9442 Bach is mechanical. Learn one measure at a time, one hand at a time
@@aaronmann9442 yesss i struggled with it but it sounds so good so jus keep going ykk

Outstanding performance!

I've heard the gavotte played with real building of crescendo, intensity even anxiety and final relief that is really exciting.
Chills on my spine...A truly brilliant rendition by Levin.
15:30 Gigue starts.
11:34 besser
Listen to Pogorelich’s rendition

@@Ogurets123 The original manuscripts have Gm. That's strange as Henle scores are quite good. Maybe no one told them about this error so far :)
Good eye! Now I have to "Bach" (haha) and see which version I have. I played this prelude as a teenager and the gigue as an adult.
I hear mordants when they are not indicated
And don’t when they are
That's pretty typical for bach. It's to add extra style in places that may not be written in the music

WUNDERBAR😳
No. WunderBACH

I can't wait when i can play Prelude and Allemande
French + Italian = English!
@@eriksatie9200 it’s about cultures not languages
@@eriksatie9200 Apples and Oranges. And English is more versatile than either!
I would say that’s exactly what German is actually!
You know.. I think historically some people might be offended by that remark 🪦
What the Hell lmaoo
Dejlig munter og svingende musik i et fint tempo.....
Good job!
why do many play the Gavotte I, differently than the sheet music, in the beginning i mean
Che muy bueno
Reminds me of La Poule
My hands hurts just by looking at it -__-
Yayy more Bach on piano🥴
My favorite is the Bach No.3
Where is the tr~ in the second measure?
it's a personal touch, very common

Fortunately it's not THAT "Vivaldian".
Too fast.
So?
I am confused, I thought this allemande belonged to English Suite 2. Any explanation?
The beginnings of the two pieces are very similar
Prefer Andras Schiff and Murray Perhia
The piano starting at 18:17 sounds totally distorted - needs a 🪛
It’s harpsicord 😅diot
Bach al pianoforte non si può sentire.

Dipende. Sicuramente non con il pedale. Le note di Bach vanno tenute con le dita, non con i piedi.
@@marcocampus7943 anche un po' di pedale si può usare, i grandi interpreti lo fanno
madonna quanto bigottismo
Richter plays much better. Hands down.
Subworthy
Bach a dream
