I wish I was the cameraman on the stage!

does listening to this count towards your 5 a day?

It’s amazing how such a simple piece can make such an emotional impact. But then again, all genius things are simple.

Gilels played this Bach-Siloti prelude as an encore many, many times in his extraordinary career. The history of the piece is covered in Barber's book 'Lost in the Stars: The Forgotten Musical Life of Alexander Siloti'.
The music itself may be found, together with many other transcriptions, in the Carl Fischer Anthology 'The Alexander Siloti Collections'. Many wonders lie in waiting.

Gilels played in Los Angeles ca. 1980. 2 separate recitals & I was lucky enough to see them. This was the Soviet era & there were 2 agents (KGB?) standing thruout the performance on stage & at the sides observing the audience. Being "live" sound, you can hear more nuance & sublety, of course, & Gilels had a way of making every single note sound special. He played this Bach for encore. He is one of the immortals & enriched the lives of his audiences.

@benedetti you are welcome! However, I immediately pass your thanks to Mrs. J.S.Bach, A. Siloti & E.G. Gilels, my role in the creation of this masterpiece being humble, to say the least of it. *smile*

@KlassikFan2007 i'm sorry to shock you, but js bach indeed was male. at bach's time, it was just fashion to wear very strange long-hair wigs ;-)

@KlassikFan2007 But the fact that it is here, for all ages and economic classes is your doing, and that is no small thing. At no other time has access to such great experiences been available to such a large audience. Thank You for all your videos...
