J S Bach Adagio in C Minor BWV 1001 Robert Hill, harpsichord

[morindhe]

This is beautiful, just the way I hear the "missing" notes of the piece in my head. You must record this. Any people from the labels reading this?

[EtrofOnaip]

Beautiful !

How do you not like this?

[Nicksvoiceinthewild]

It's such a luscious sound - the hands and the instument and recording - almost like the charater of rain.

[alinarotarumusic]

Dear Robert Hill, you make it difficult for everyone else to record a J. S. Bach CD now. Thank you for your inspiring playing!

[cabottobac]

Robert, your phrasing is superb! It reminds me of phrasing more commonly used for the harpsichord music of Couperin and Rameau ... This is a truly wonderful recording!

SO BEAUTIFUL

[rockmusscarcella]

I can't say how beautifull is this~

[yourforte]

Beautiful.

[ShinAkiraX]

Perfection achieved.

Is this instrument one of those made by Keith Hill, Robert's brother?

[earlymus]

Thanks for your comments. Yes, this is a Keith Hill Taskin model instrument, from 1998, owned by the Freiburg Musikhochschule, where I teach.

[whiteice100]

brilliant performance!

[publicidadout]

Perdón la ignorancia ésta pieza es la original de la versión hecha por Yanni y cantada por Jonathan Pacheco?

[filsuf]

I like this transcription better than the 'heavier' Leonhardt's, or the 'overly-decorated' Winsome Evans's.

[kozzzh]

yeah i love this! its so romantically played that its ideal soundtrack for dramatic movie

[requiemaeturnum]

Very soulful. The harpsichord is difficult to play with expression, it takes much practice.

[anisometropie]

pure genius

[Welverance]

GRAZZIEEEEE grazzieeeee che dio ti benedica

[jasjjb]

Superb !!! Thank you !!!

[bernardocox2]

G minor

[earlymus]

This transcription is down a fifth from G Minor to C Minor, as was typical for some violin to harpsichord transcriptions from the Bach circle.

[waeman]

I just love Bach's handwriting !

[bachprelude]

oh, great.

No era menos de esperar de el Maestro Bach.

[Contrapunctus1750]

That is the most beautiful sounding harpsichord I've ever heard.

[TheUnknownDepths]

The feel of the piece, the richness of the harpsichord, and the moving handwritten score all add to the tranquility of this wonderful piece.

0:51 to 1:05 in particular is absolutely georgeous.

[BarroHandel]

esa hermosa interpretación es del Adagio de la primera sonata de Bach...qué hermoso ¡ amo a Bach

[BACHonaHUMANlevel]

I award this 5 ANNA MAGDALENAS FOR BACH'S D'ANGLEBERT THERE IS A SENSE OF MOURNFUL VULNERABILITY CONVEYED HERE THROUGH THE SEQUENTIALLY TIDE-LIKE FRAGMENTATION OF GESTURE THAT PUSHES INTO THE REALM OF EMOTIONAL IMPRESSIONISM REINFORCED BY A CRISPLY DELICATE AND EVOCATIVE ARTICULATION

[thebpl]

Brilliantly done, with a balance of poise and pathos

[abricio]

WOW!!!!

Any chance that you could share the transcription's score?
