Samuil Feinberg plays Bach

[waltoncats]

What a beautiful performance.

[chrisczajasager]

very eloquent : resonating with the music and its expression!

[allegrissimo]

@scarnaby, the statement that Gould's performance makes more sense to you says nothing at all about the quality of this performance.

[anaklasis]

It's a shame that nowadays this way of playing Baroque music is lost.

Pure Beauty!!!

[smithsherman]

Dear Scarn,Yours is a very thoughtful & polite reply which I respect greatly...

because you are speaking intimately to me without attempting to dismiss me,and or that which is different from you.I share a lot of your reaction...but feel differently about it.Gould is a master of the outside.Feinburg

of the ...in.We each make our own worlds,&

while Gould's makes plenty of sense,It rarely delights me.My favorite Gould is the Art of the fugue contrapunctus 1 on Youtube.

wow didn t Flier study with him?

[truecrypt]

No. Flier was Konstantin Igumnov's student.

Among Feinberg's students the most known are Aptekarev, Emelianova, Merjanov, Zuzin (completely blind pianist), Natanson.

[weikko79]

I only know Merjanov of those guys. Have the others made any recordings? Also, please upload more Feinberg!!!

[smithsherman]

Very hard to make interesting music from this.

Nonetheless Feinburg goes to Herculean pains & it does rivet my attention in the prelude.

He takes the fugue as far as it can go under the limits of Modern-Non-Baroque performance practice.This is a world light years beyond

Gould.

[klaverfar]

Now, smithsherman, you have to explain: why very hard to make music from -- and in what way light years beyond Gould??

[drlawitts]

you are a stinking fool
