Alfred Brendel plays Bach at the RFH

couldn't help but cry when i heard him play this at the musikverein in december. he certainly will be missed on stage.

Sorry to say the sound quality on your vid was very poor. But even with the poor sound quality AB, is obviously a musical genius.

That anyone could play any musical instrument with such skill and with such feeling is quite remarkable.

I've actually changed seat after interval...

Also I didn't think of videotaping the whole piece! I just thought I'd have a remembrance of his last recital in the UK, but then he sat down for an encore, so I decided to continue filming. I wouldn't want to record the lot, since it's quite awkward to hold my phone in that position all the time. I'm also unsure whether it is permitted at all...

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy it!

u should ave recorded the lot

[chrish12345]

you had a good seat

[garrickohlsson]

I wish to god he had recorded more JSBach keyboard works. Sigh.

[chrish12345]

he said it would have taken another lifetime to do bach as well

[gigie555]

I bet you he was probably thinking, after Gould, what more could he add.

[GiovanniEMB]

A pianist before Gould, not after. But this is not a problem. He take something from the big pianistic tradition. A excellent thing. See her Bach recital for Philips on LP. A excellent recording.
