Bach - WTC I (Joanna MacGregor) - Prelude & Fugue No. 15 in G Major BWV 860

[JarvinenBeninissa]

Yes, the only interpretation I've seen so far that combines speed with clarity of phrasing. Despite the Ferrari attitude this tempo in a way does do justice to the piece, especially the fugue. (But a tad slower tempo might have been even more exquisite...)

the camera guy is an idiot. The whole prelude all we see is her face, I want to see her fingers! She's super good.

i love her fugue! her interpretation is rather unique, especially with the accents and phrasing. Better than Richter's crazy I'm Totally In a Hurry method.

i agree with you. even thou richter´s wtc globally is my favorite, the g major fugue is sounds so military !

[juzzyfuzz]

What breathtaking playing! And look at her hands - have you ever seen a healthier looking technique?!

Balls of steel. That's my Joanna. She just goes for it! Yet still with an ease and flow to the 16th notes that make them fit the contour of each and every line. Also love the way she brings the dynamic level out of the more important moving voice while other parts are rolling quietly in the background. I didn't get that feminine touch from the Richter recording. It's refreshing. So balls of steel AND Vag of...fur? Seems the appropriate antithesis for the reference. Surely no Brazilian there.
