Gulda plays Bach English suite no.2,Bourrée I/II

[leoxThepianist]

This and of Pogorelich are the best interpretations of this piece. Really beautiful!

[buckinfo]

@leoxThepianist Thats true. I love both very much. :)

[istarninwa]

By far, the best performance of this piece.

[stephenjoeagi]

Beautiful élan. Superb playing and rhythm.

[lovesGenet]

I am falling in love with his earliest records of Bach.I had his wtc but realize what a super mind he had. I like him more sometimes than Gould who likes to make music new !

[amoritka]

You wish the middle section were a bit louder? Now, that is hilarious. I am still laughing.

[andantino100]

Non sempre convince Gulda nelle sue interpretazioni, ma qui per me supera persino Gould!

[humpert]

sorry gulda but gould is thousand miles away...

[mrjlowitz]

I listened to Gulda in the 50's and 60s. Hearing him anew now 50 years later allows me the priviledge to understand what I was missing then. A true genius.

[JoFrSc]

Clear as a bell. Exact as a Swiss watch. And then it's like having your feet tickled. Delightful!

[IonianGreek]

Great speed and yet so clear,not a single note blurred...GULDA never ceases to amaze me......One of the greatest pianists ever lived.

[indigoblue555]

Fast but still a great musicality is there: great touch as well . Thx for sharing .

[mydlands]

Oh, wow. I played this on marimba when I was getting my music degree, but not nearly this fast. I think this piece is great, but this performance leaves me astounded!

[allaiks2009]

Have you tried the Argerich performance too ? Not the one from the Concertgebouw (EMI) which I think is played really too fast, but the one from DG recorded in early 80s... Also very impressive.

[jeepgerhard212]

greatest sadness for me about Argerich is that her Bach is SO FAB and yet she plays/played so little of it. that single Bach LP on DG (1980) is imho one of the greatest Bach sets ever recorded.

[rvorti01]

Nice!

[Musicuss]

Troppo veloce?? Che dici, è perfetta! E sotto tutti gli aspetti!!

[danceofthegoblins]

I love his interpretation of this: I like it fast and wish he'd speed the prelude up a few notches too!

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

I wish the middle section were just a bit more loud. But that's just how I would approach it. It is excellent. Hurray to Bach and to Gulda.

[hkchoi456]

I can play bourree, to, but not this good and fast.

[chantsun2]

Too fast
