Henryk Szeryng Bach Sonatas & Partitas Sonata 1 Adagio

[triochomage]

Look at him, he looks too like Silvio Berlusconi!!

Great, anyway, any single chord is thought to emphasize the lead voice, great great work!!

[mrcaciomusico]

algo cristalino e puro num mundo poluido, isso traz paz, alegria, acalma e leva ao Criador .

[frajam54]

Increíbles recuerdos de los cursos de verano en el Conservatorio Nacional de Música en los 70's escuchar a este gran violinista en vivo, no tuvo comparación.

[peeyaki]

He's the best ever to perform bach on violin, all the old and real guys tell you so...

[thrillseeker70]

I think J S Bach would himself be impressed and applaud such an incredible player.

[srinitaaigaura]

He doesn't use a bow, he uses something that creates sublime colours and emotions.

[mawler357]

this is a fantastic recording

[Methotrexat3]

There is a great live record by Szeryng and Bagnoli in Ascona, in Italy. It's a performance of the 70's. They played the 3 B ( Beethoven, Brahms, Bach). Szeryng closed with Ciaccona. The best interpretation I ever heard, one of the best at all.

[MrGunterguerrero]

Szeryng = Bach, and Nathan Milstein = Bach !

Thank you my dear friend Josie for sharing !

[citylida]

@MrGunterguerrero Szeryng = Bach, and Nathan Milstein = Bach , Szeryng = Nathan Milstein?

[MrGunterguerrero]

@citylida I mean : Szering and Milstein are in the same level to playing Bach. Maybe Milstein was better.

[Milky111wtf]

@citylidaHeh. Transitive property is wacky sometimes, isn't it?

[Milky111wtf]

@citylida Heh. Transitive property is weird sometimes, isn't it?

[katjaEminor]

Szeryng=Bach (violin) Glenn Gould =Bach (piano) NO DOUBT!!!!

[Aezandris]

imslp FTW

[ChristopherHa93]

wow.... thats all there is to say. speechless....

but! does anybody know where i can download the sheet music for this?

[pyroticmaniac]

@ChristopherHa93 if you go to a music store or sheetmusicplus or amazon or something you can get all 6 for $30.

[Phoenix1342689]

@ChristopherHa93 Schrimer's collection of the sonatas/partitas is about 9$.

[Phoenix1342689]

@ChristopherHa93 Schirmer's, not Schrimers.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

@ChristopherHa93 imslp has it for free. 

[MoldyLunchbox18]

I'm the only kid in my 1200 student high school who listens to Bach...I don't see how people cant love it!

[flowforms]

@MoldyLunchbox18 makes you more intelligent and capable for life - so keep at it

[sandroroj]

wow so good,

I`ve never heard this piece so good

[LeChanathon]

best interpretation i've heard of this piece so far :)

[crazy77town]

does anybody know what is the date of the recording?? I've heard about an adagio performance by szeryng a while before his death, and that is simply BACH.

Is this the one I am looking for??

[jsccxxx]

too much vibrato for this period? but beautiful tone! so inspirational!

[MrBassflute]

absolutely gorgeous...

[bjohnson671]

very pretty

[AndrewZap]

Szeryng is, of course, first rate. However, I invite you to listen to Artur Grumiaux (available on Youtube). If I could play like anyone, it would be Grumiaux.

[NOProdigyDJ]

@AndrewZap grumiaux is a great vioolinst and all, but he doesnt have the same mentality szeryng has for bach

[FailScene]

Wonderful :)

[billyguns2]

No scraping or squawking here! Szeryng has always been my favorite violinist, and his Bach playing is very special.

[vivasavonarola]

Those by Szering are the  best recordings(2) of Bach's solo violin sonatas ever done.

[ChocolaMeiure]

i love it. I am learning about this piece so I listen Henryk szeryng's bach playing every day. How can't i respect him!

[anisometropie]

Do you know anything as beautiful

[ioanlatrovaliev]

Very good!

[Murkel2110]

King of the violin playing!

[moonkasnow]

he is the best in Bach.

[EnglishBayley]

If you were forced to choose one group of compositions to take away to a desert island, one collection to get you through, the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas for solo violin by J.S.Bach would most assuredly be mine. Thank you for posting this wonderful perfromance. Szeryng is simply amazing.

[invadersue]

Hach, how lovley.

[rosinitup87]

LOVE this interpretation. I think he's pretty right on to what I hear the voicing in my head as.

[Guarneris]

I agree, I check out the notes on music sheet, his tempo and notes are very exact to the point that fractions of the tempo are respected for each note in the accord, it is perfection. At the same time, he has a very solid, and pure sound. This is an amazing Sonata No.1

[danli100]

this is amazing! thank you for posting!

[soundviewbx]

Truest Bach interpretation I've ever heard

[AznBambooPanda]

my violin teacher's teacher! =D hooray

[Darkmoon0999]

[Milky111wtf]
