Great to have this recording as an example while learning this transcription. Ms Hewitt did take a little bit of liberty at the end and I think that was a pianistic decision indeed. What a wonderful job projecting the chorale in the inner voices.. boy that is difficult when the voicings are very close.
C'est joué beaucoup trop vite, sans recueillement intérieur. Je préfère d'autres interprétations, plus intimes et plus dans l'esprit de Bach. Trop de staccato et de sécheresse dans le toucher.
Gloria sei dir gesungen mit Menschen- und englischen Zungen, mit Harfen und mit Zimbeln schon, von zwölf Perlen sind die Pforten, an deiner Stadt sind wir Konsorten der Engel hoch um deinen Thron, kein Aug hat je gespürt, kein Ohr hat je gehört, SOLCHE FREUDE, des sind wir froh, io, io, ewig in dulci jubilo.
2. Zion hört die Wächter singen, das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen, sie wachet und steht eilend auf, ihr FREUND kommt vom Himmel prächtig, von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig, ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf, nun komm, du werte Kron, Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn, hosianna, wir folgen all zum Freudensaal und halten mit das Abendmahl.
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne, wach auf, du Stadt Jerusalem, Mitternacht heißt diese Stunde, sie rufen uns mit hellem Munde, wo seid ihr klugen Jungfrauen, wohl auf, der Bräutgam kommt, steht auf, die Lampen nehmt, alleluja, macht eucht bereit zu der Hochzeit, ihr müsset (dürfet) ihm entgegen gehn.
Angela Hewitt is in my opinion a world-leading Bach interpreter on piano. You should also listen to "Sheep may safely graze" on the same record as this piece.
busoni has made better transcription, in my opinion. but this is very good as well :-) thank you for this video - though I like more the performance in "bach style" (this is a bit to romantic)
Angela began studying piano - age 3, performed at age 4, won her first music scholarship at 5. First recital at Torontos Royal Conservatory of Music age 9 - studied there soon after. Throughout a period of 11 yrs. recorded ALL the major keyboard works of Bach. We're talking volumes of works! Known as the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time. Absolutely, without a shred of doubt, my hero who plays my favorite composer. God bless you Angela for this & SO much more that you've accomplished.
Trotz der übertriebenen Interpretation lohnt es sich zu hören.

This gave me great joy to hear. The legato of the chorale would be admirable in a singer and is astonishing on the piano.

Beautiful! Normally Bach on a piano sounds like hitting boulders with sledge hammers, but this transcription and performance are really wonderful.

Es war ein schöner Überstellung eines meiner Lieblings-Musikstücke. Es war eine einzigartige und bewegende Interpretation des Originals.
