young Mikhail Pletnev plays Bach Partita 6 live - Toccata

[aomf58]

The more I listen to it, the more I like it.  Bravo, Mr. Pletnev!

[MrTIRILLY]

C'est sa vision de l'oeuvre, mais il a fort à faire avec Gould et Weissenberg !

[MrPGOLIVEIRA]

Pletnev mostra ser um excelente intérprete de Bach. Harmoniza os pianíssimos e os fortes habilmente, com efeitos sonóros próprios da sua interpretação. Um grande pianista, sem dúvida.

What's this? -- a pianist who's not pretending to be a harpsichordist! It doesn't surprise me so much that the often dry and idiosyncractic Pletnev has something to say when it comes to Bach, though.

[ainhoator]

The lesson of this rendition is that when playing Bach on the piano one needn't be afraid of mighty dynamics for they needn't confuse harmony or counterpoint.

I wish I did not watch glenn gould playing this just before. I could not concentrate or give Pletnev the attention of my soul because it was no longer available.

[sexypianista]

it's still bach, but only pletnev can play this partita.

[ladislav57]

Bach? Chopin? Midhail Chobachiev!

[pxs109]

Pletnev's understanding of the architecture and polyphony is apparent in his playing and I feel that I just had the best lesson from this performance, Pletnev pointed out the underlying hidden meaning really well...excellent performance and interpretation i love it

The most beautiful moment is for me at 0:44 et 1:32 , viva russia !!

[redatoo]

un chef d'oeuvre, les russes sont forts dans l'interpretation de la musique classique

[japanesesweet]

wow! really invigorating-I've never heard it played like this.

[rodovre]

P6 in Bach-Busoni style. Wow. Perhaps in vogue taste, but well done. Thumbs up from here.

[nkgvl]

it's not bach, but pletnev.

i was moved by his fantastic interpretation of the music.

[quelbop]

@nkgvl Interesting point about it being more Pletnev than Bach....perhaps that`s inevitable when you play Bach on an instrument which didn`t exsist in his lifetime?

Whatever the case may be,this is an extraordinary realisation of the piece-I grew up with the Gould recording but this is completely different and I love it.

@nkgvl

I have written a beautiful piece of music. I am thinking about mailing it to Pletnev, perhaps he can give it a try; and well, since he can make a piece his own I am certain to obtain stardom and great fame. Don´t get me wrong, I know it will be secondary, or indirect stardom, given the fact Pletnev made my piece his own. But no matter, I will have a destiny resembling Bach´s for I am sure Pletnev´s splendid playing will make it sound godly, heavenly, sublime. Im sure you´ll be moved.
