This surely is a version of Bach to be played in a shopping mall...

The arhitecture of music stays the same, regardless of the tempi, chosen instruments etc... You can stick historic performance in your historic ass! :) GO cubus! In my opinion, romanticism and retardation of tempo often brings out beauty present in Bach's music that otherwise remains hidden, ran over, just like by a speeding truck. His melodies are so so rich they need slowing down, in order to be fully percepted

J.S.Bach war kein Romantiker!!! :-))

[pozsoz]

it's easier to play when you're playing it wrong. not that bach requires to be played by robots, but you can still play it in the right tempo and give it your own interpretation

Anthony. This comment is unhelpful at best. I both know and understand this music & I LOVE the style of this performance. Maybe you meant to say "...people searching for this song who know and understand it in its original form would notice this isn't an authentic historical performance". But that's so obvious is doesn't need saying. Cubus knows HOW he's playing so why comment? Why should Cubus spend money on CD's only to recreat a performance that the world has heard many times before?

[ChristianSojourner]

I rather like it played this way - a bit slower. I like this tempo more than the faster.

[AndreaZ64]

I'm a Bach devotee myself and indeed this obviously is historically incorrect, but nevertheless it is interesting to listen to this anachronistic interpretation. And as always cubusdk plays very good.

I like it. 5 stars.

I think you play chopin's better than bach's

[itsanthonyhere]

Yea we can give him credit but he wouldn't be able to perform this anywhere. You can't play Classical Era music in the form of Baroque style, and vise versa, just because it's a personal choice. You'd be disregarding the entire era of music...

[sexorcista]

u might b right, but u re forgetting that music is a personal experience, so i believe he is plauin it in a way he enjoys it the most. he is not tryin to b like anyone and we can give him credit for that, can t we?

sorry bout my bad english, greetings from Mexico.
