magistraal!!!

[DominusDeoSabaoth]

La verdad es que suena un poco vacío en el piano, cómo cambia la perspectiva bajo la cual ha sido concebida la obra, es decir, el órgano.

[WilipichinXP]

I have meet with him. His such an special character of this world. Very studious

Un monumento : cada obra de J.S.Bach abre mas grande y profundamente el alma humana.

La interpretación es tenue, luminosa y elegante. Un gran momento de felicidad.

[TheBachenstein]

I can play the whole fugue on this. Havent really decided if I want to do the prelude because the fugue is the best part. XD

[Nalenthios]

@TheBachenstein Ah you should. I agree, I love fugue and this is truly a superb one, but I don't think it feels "complete" without the prelude. And the prelude in itself is extremely beautiful too, at least I think so! :D

[petar93123]

Dislike??? Hmmm...nice try Justin Bieber ;)))

[TwoWoods13]

majestueux c'est vraiment le terme qui convient ! le tempo n'est pas trop vite ce qui enlèverait tout caractère à cette pièce , j'adore l'interprétation, bravo !

[Multieduardo1962]

La fuga deja mucho que desear, las voces tienen el mismo timbre, esta es una forma de tocar respetable, no no muy agradable, sobre todo en una transcripción de Liszt, donde su deberían conjugar los aspectos orquestales que el piano como instrumento tiene, efectivamente es posible a cada voz darle un timbre diferente, quien lo hace a la perfección es Svetla Protich se puede escuchar en youtube, realmente es otra obra, lamentable que este pianista no haya podido comprender la riqueza de Bach.

Un chef-d'oeuvre qui fait fondre mon coeur...

[titusbeertsen]

The problem I usually have with these organ pieces is that the faster sections become inaudible, it's so much clearer on a grand piano! They should build a grand-piano-organ, like two instruments in one, so you can have the clarity of the piano and the majesty of the big organ pipes. Or does such an instrument already exist?

[SenatorT1]

As you say; but alas, Liszt's intent and actual performance is lost to history . . .

We can only inculcate this latest, greatest master's internalization; shalln't we?

[SenatorT1]

As an organ instrument restorer, I am humbled by what this refined, dignified, disciplined piano vituoso has done to denude an otherwise irrefutable organ masterpiece. You have left me stunned and speechless. Bravo!

[MrPaevo]

@SenatorT1 Liszt deserves the credit; he wrote the marvelous transcription!

[BloodAndOrange]

Eargasm

[koldunya2002]

EXQUISITE! Stunning! Gorgeous! Soulful! Thank you for sharing this beauty!

[jessy1951]

C'est la meilleure interprétation à mon goût, outre les mains de l'artiste, le son du piano est excellent ...

@jessy1951 Svetla Protich - Bach: Prelude & Fugue in A-minor BWV 543/

[Lisztomaniacgal]

Truly amazing - love everything about this :)

[Petrokwstas]

I used to think the best pianist for Bach was Richter...i've changed my mind...he is the best pianist for every composer!!!

[Webarton]

I LOVE 8:20.

[predoje]

This is genius. He at a begining a bass pres one strong, then he let it go and he come back on at just softer so the listener do not notice that he let go a in the first place.

[soulechene]

magnifique! magnifique! magnifique!...

[59franck59]

magnifiquement joué

[madlovba2]

Incredible performance, he really knows how to sound the piano like a church organ. I love every note of it, especially the low A at 0:32.

[musicforfun1]

@madlovba2 i love his use of the pedal

[Vegatude]

where can i download this?

[everythingistken1291]

Very Good, I enjoyed that.

[88jerome]

I love the D# at 1:17 but it's not printed on my edition, I wonder if he added it himself. Either way, it sounds nicer

[Pianoloverbwv1008]

Absolutely majestic and celestial sound! Brava!!

[romik30]

best perfomance

[Protenor]

Mind-blasting! As much as I love the organ version, this takes the clarity of the lines to a whole new level

[botoseli]

Thank`s, it`s amazing!!!

[arkturguide]

like a big church organ, absolutely :)

[DominusDeoSabaoth]
