J. S. Bach - Toccata for Clavier in E Minor BWV 914 (Chiara Massini, Harpsichord)

[Ariavariata95]

Such an interesting interpretation! Normally I just play the bog standard notes on the page, but she takes it a bit further and plays it really interestingly. I listen to some more of her performances.

Awsome starts from 4:10

When you can play in this way a Toccata by Bach, you surely have at least a thing in your life, for which you can be proud of yourself!

Wonderfully and perfectly played, pure music!!!, THANK YOU SO MUCH CHIARA

Miss Massini must have looked very enchanting when playing the Harpsichord (And of course, when playing a Bach piece) I do wonder how many of the opposite sex have been attracted to her. If I had been a male (NO, don't even think I am a homosexual, I am a chalice) and saw a woman playing Bach with a harpsichord and this good, I would've fallen head over heels in love with her.

"I would have fallen head over heels in love wither her"

*chuckle*

If I were fifteen, I'd enthusiastically second that sentiment, but I'm well past the age of "sighing like furnace, composing sonnets to my mistresses eyebrow".

I'm not so young as to love a woman for her singing (or playing) nor so old as to dote on her for anything (I have years on my back thirty-three).

But if you're wondering how many of us would be attracted to Ms. Massini, stop wondering.

Jesus Christ, this is beautifully played. I'm glad I stumbled upon Massini.

@faraz1729

Stumbled upon? Come, come, there was nothing inadvertent in that you nefarious lecher! I detect a faint tone of innuendo, faraz .

(yeah, I'm sauced)

[Auidi1]

I just discovered you! The way you play Bach pieces is outstanding!!!! ...I recall of Lara St. Jonn's plays on the violin... There is much of noble sensuality in Bach pieces performances..Yours are unique!

[StanEvalio]

trying to understand the musical idea of this piece whil hearing it i must say its a very very sad piece, i think...

[zealot32167]

Miss Massini is in the throes of ultimate ecstasy: The BachGasm.

La belleza empieza antes de poner las manos en el teclado, despues todo se transforma en sublime cuando sus manos acarician el teclado. Pura belleza!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ish91914]

@AGLMIL  Muy cierto!

[Ambridge1973]

Ms. Massini has offered the most convincing and thoroughly satisfying performance of this complex work I have ever heard! She comprehends the delicate rhetoric of the free passages with maturity and sensitivity. I offer you my sincerest thanks!

Feme.

[requiemaeturnum]

this piece is VERY hard to learn. I'm trying to do it right now.

[bachkirche]

@requiemaeturnum Yes, Bach is a hand full. I was very challenged studying His music on the Cembalo. Sadly I had to give it up due to repetitive strain injuries.
