He's amazing. I adore him, probably a little too much: last week he was crossing the street in his chair, and I was standing in the curb cut like an idiot, staring at him like "Woah you're Itzhak Perlman!" and he was looking at me like "If you don't get out of the curb cut I'm going to get hit by a cab." I'd never inconvenienced a genius before! Especially not one of this caliber. Not gonna lie, it made me feel sort of special.

[Haggismaker]

One of my favourite recordings of this movement. As if he was was playing several violins, of different makers, at the same time. He makes extremely good use of the positive acoustic, simulating a Baroque organ, despite somewhat Romantic bowing.

Amazing.....what I won't give to be this good! Maybe someday.....

Random thought, but I wonder how much HIS violin cost? lol

@Haggismaker violins have four strings, and Bach writes here for four voices. The points where all four strings are written for simultaneously are impossible to play without a slight delay so a slight break in tempo is inevitable unless the notes are given very short duration, which then would sound unbalanced. Having said that it`s worth checking out the recording Menhuin made of this in 1935, for me anyway, a performance with more depth to it than I`ve heard from anyone since.

Tiếng đàn nghe thật sang trọng.

LOVE IT

@xempress you might be going a bit extreme with that notion. if a violinist who had no clue about sound or tone quality played this, he would crush the beauty of it.

[FernandoMedinasolos]

Maestro Perlman pulls this music toward his genuine reality, his time and place, his unique life experience. He does not, in my opinion, try to or pretend to be in somebody else's shoes, particularly somebody who wrote this 292 years ago. I'm willing to stand corrected if this is not so.

With all due respect to Baroque players who, through much investigation, offer us that other and much appreciated opinion via their interpretation of this great music.

The piano version of this one is also amazing. Very spiritual piece. I would recommend the recording of Angelika Zabel if you can get her recording

[xempress]

@moemoeloe well, it's his interpretation, he is such a great artist that he can really play it the way he wants. It's not said, that you have to play Bach in a baroque way.

And as Shostakovich said " A great piece of music is beautiful regardless of how it is performed. Any prelude or fugue of Bach can be played at any tempo, with or without rhythmic nuances, and it will still be great music."

[moemoeloe]

@Haggismaker actually i don't like it all... sadly he plays it like a romantic piece and not at all like baroque. bach probably would turn over in his grave when hearing this interpretation
