Andrei Gavrilov is the best musican we have - in my opinion. The extraordinary is that he can play great Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Scriabin and many more. And you always can hear: intelligence and heart is a great combination for a musician.

This recording production was not quite satisfying Andrei told me, 'cause BBC did a good beginning but in ongoing work it was some kind of wired and inconsequential. But anyway: great interpretation of Gavrilovs part!!!

Beautiful interpretation! Just find the glassess odd and distracting... :P

@z1Amii "So yesterday, that is, Tuesday evening at 7, in the

Imperial-and-Royal Opera House I made my entry into the world! . . . My

friends and colleagues spread themselves through the hall to listen to

opinions and criticisms. Tselinski can tell you how little

fault-finding there was; only Hube overheard more. Some lady said: 'Too

bad the young man is so poorly dressed.' If that is all the fault

anybody found . . . then I have no need to worry!" --F. Chopin

I think he would take a different approach after listening to this analysis.

In each divinity we shall not grasp the meaning of the inner thoughts of ultimate peak of art. I am me, myself who could not understand an amazing feat of powerr. The lament and philosphy from this fugue holds too much emotions in my heart, i could not explain with words. This is J.S Bach we're talking about, this fugue, yes this fugue is an music/harmony created from his mind to define logic.

[Kneenibble]

ZOMG THAT PIANO IS SEXY.

I mean, uh, very ingenious interpretation.

[antoinezygfryd]

Beaucoup d'artistes oublient que leurs subtilités d'interprétation,de vision subjective,de raffinement intellectuel, s'adressent à des auditeurs qui paient des impôts et trouvent l'essence chère,et veulent simplement être touchés par la musique....rien d'autre....

Ce n'est pas un hasard si la musique classique n'est pas plus recherchée.

beautiful performance. i disagree with a.g.'s assumptions that bach composed it 'for the glory of germany in those days'. from what i know of master bach, it would probably be for the "glory of God and Jesus" not germany.

[superbemaison]

I agree-Germany was not what it is today.

Yet whatever he says about a P§F is valid for ANY of them.

He talks for nothing.

@Margotbear

U are right,

is not probably,

its a fact,

"for the Glory of God and the Joy of men"

[zkool5]

My favorite artist!

[thegoddescomposer]

he fuga is the best part, of this great work of bach, its so intens

[ipublica]

Oh, what a wonderful sound! This is the most colorful Bach I have ever heard, goes beyond Richter's meditative WTC and brings novelty. There is so much tenderness in Gavrilov's Bach, he shows us a colorful, sensuous and yet serious Bach, who is not any more a 'Baroque' composer but eternal. Gavrilov is one of our greatest pianists, and even more so, one of our greatest musicians!
