Bach - WTC II (Nikolai Demidenko) - Prelude & Fugue No. 6 in D Minor BWV 875

[0anthonyhealey0]

the extreme tempo makes it almost impossible to pick out the melody and harmonies

[bones1343]

can anyone please tell me what form is this prelude?

[guinguette07]

Sorry but from Gould to Richter these tempi are all absurd...much TOO FAST...all these interpretations are musical nonsenses...no tempo giusto at all... Poor Bach.

[sultanov10]

Oh, it's so fast! but that sounds great, like a perfect dialog!!

[royo90]

Fugue was great, but the prelude was too fast. Then again, I also wish that I had the chops to play the prelude that fast!

[ForestChav]

Isn't too fast, but he isn't executing the trills right. They don't sound as they should, personally I think they sound better with a raised leading note - it's D minor, which technically has a c#.

[zigzaggity]

ooo...is that a fazioli?

[atsaka]

@zigzaggity Oh Yeah! =)

[Enix5548]

I liked his c sharp major in WTCII but this one is a little too fast.

[stargirl2007a]

i have a question:

my piano teacher says to play this prelude slow

but i agree, i like it fast

CONFUSED-can anyone help? thanks!

[mercoid]

prelude fast, but played with great clarity

[toxictype]

both played very nice, I prefer this prelude fast

[marirossi]

he's playing in Venice, isn't it?

[IanPianist2]

Very fast =]

[pianolover1004]

Wow! So Great!
