Bach - WTC II (Nikolai Demidenko) - Prelude & Fugue No. 9 in E Major BWV 878

[NimbleTurtle13]

0:16-0:30... did he actually say that? What an idiot.

[robalupa]

fabulous

[googlekopfkind]

this introduction is just full of masterly harmonic and counterpoint

[nukepcr]

Bach didn't write the Well Tempered Clavier for the Equal Temperament as Demidenko states at 0:15. He wrote it for the Well Temperament. It's right in the title!

[Enix5548]

@nukepcr You're right. It's a very common misconception.

[pianomangabe]

this is nice and refreshing..

oh can anybody tell me what kind of piano that is?

i cant really see it clearly on the front.

is it "faziou" ? :s

[StefanInvAsian]

@pianomangabe it's Fazioli

[pureaKero]

I am playing this right now, I have spent so many nights endlessly playing the prelude in a loop, each time discovering something new within it! It is truly a marvelous piece!

[yourforte]

Sensitive performance of this beautiful prelude and the glorious fugue.

[gideonvanderwatt]

How many times Bach's music has brought me to tears....  So beautiful.

[chippica]

very emotional and he is SO listening to himself....that is rare...

[6cuerdas6]

Maravilloso, aportes como el tuyo hacen que youtube valga la pena.

Do you know where it was filmed ?

[Pheonixeye88]

An interesting approach - a sensitive, lyrical interpretation of the prelude and then an almost homophonous treatment of the fugue. It wouldn't be my approach but it's very affective here.

[MrPfund]

not to be the grammar police, but you misspelled 'affective'; its 'effective' in this case. Also Gould might have an approach to this prelude that might suit you.
