The B Minor Fugue is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Forget all the finger-busting challenges of Liszt, Rach., et. al., this music is the REAL and ULTIMATE test of true pianism. How many pianists attempt this music much less succeed at any level with it? Well, all the Bach "specialists" have tried and failed. Perhaps only S. Richter (no Bach specialist) really nails it. But he was a genius.
But this attempt comes very close in many ways and is worth listening to!
i think the tempo of is very well handled, the slow tempo helps reflecting all the unprepared dissonance, expressive suspension. the 4 parts are clear, then chosen tempo helps showing the needs of bach to write a 12 tone fugue.. well done!!!!

I like a bit more emotion in the theme of the fugue, but that is just my preference. This is a tricky work.

no trill on the fugue theme????????????????????
otherwise a very lovely rendition and audience sneezers should be shot like in rabbit rhapsody

BRAVO. For me this is wonderful Bach playing. Clear, articulate, thoughtful and passionate. Romantics will criticise the phrasing...

Yeah, sound is too low but most important in the Fuge just took off the trills then not big deal.
Besides where is the phrasing?
