Albert Schweitzer Plays J. S. Bach: Adagio BWV 564

[jmas57k]

Who's the one ignoramo who doesn't like Bach played by Schweitzer?

[mmbmbmbmb]

What an amazing piece of History. I bow to thee!

[cthtyflf]

@ccdg1066, I agree. Rather not amazing human being but superb soul. Essence of the best European's thoughts that makes no chance, by the way, to carry all of us on the neck.

[natpalm]

where was this recorded ? any idea ?

[drnespor]

@natpalm

Sorry, I do not know.

@natpalm

Sainte Aurélie, Strasbourg?

[ccdg1066]

Albert Schweitzer was an amazing human being. So good to hear this recording.

[krokigrygg]

This music is amazing...

[Organistcomposer21]

Beautiful! Where is this played?

[paradoxicus]

Acaso una de las composiciones mas tiernas y conmovedoras de Bach.

Con este adagio se adelanta y abona el camino del Romanticismo.

La ecuacion en su perfeccion se transmuta en palabra y sentimiento.

Um mestre do órgão,Schweitzer, numa interpretação pura e cristalina. E numa tonalidade tocante e simples/majestosa, como convém a Bach. Ainda em tempo, parabéns Albert. Do Alex.

Is it really the BWV 564 ? Unrecognizable, really original, wonderfull. So, we feel the transition with the so famous following one, the BWV 565, as we imagine then interpreted on the mode adagio.

[jonnsmusich]

Lovely, isn't it! Biggs, Murray, Richter. All very good. This is still the most lovely of them all.

[Organistcomposer21]

This is BY FAR the best interpretation of this piece, thank you endlessly for this!

Bach is beyond words in beauty, perfectness, and compositional technique.

[Calamaistr]

is this from a record? i love the lowfi :) it gives the track even more atmosphere.

[theillfrisch]

this one piece, especially the ending is brilliant in every way.

[Totennebel]

I totally agree. Absolutely haunting.

[Bisonium]

Very well played, this very nice piece of the great Bach. J. S. Bach was born21.3.1685 as described in the text. But he died 28.7.1750 and not 28/6. Thanks alot for the sharing!

[drnespor]

Thak you.

It is OK now.

[MoaiMaea]

Literally OK, even.

[Temur2009]

Dr. Scheitzer's intrepretation of Bach is absolutely amazing...

He conveys pure baroque Weltanschauung (or our idea of it), with no touch of *romanticism*.

[kikobot]

Doctor Schweitzer is still now the greatest interpreter of Bach music.

Ciao - Manrico

[tippymugs]

I have a 2 set cd of what I think this is on. I also studied S's version of the Back Little Preludes and Fuges.

[mingweicello]

nobody can capture and create the tranquility and the mysterious atmosphere in Bach as same as Dr. Schweitzer.

[MmeFigaro]

I agree completely. You find the right words: mysterious atmosphere and tranquility

[giorgiocon47]

grazie per averci fatto riascoltare un organista purtroppo ormai dimenticato...non per caso.

[sergej992]

perchè 'non per caso'?

[stratect]

Gracias! Un gran homenaje a una gran persona.

[debartzen]

La sonoridadno se corresponde con la buena interpretación.

[stanmugs]

Yes, he was one of the greatest organists.

[djv14]

thanks for this!

[Perkeno]

Very moving. Such a great man.
