  • I don't think this great piece was intended to be performed like a funeral music...

  • It is a preludium...after this first movement there is a fuga in 6/8...

  • As I understand it's not the alto recorder, but the voice flute. ;)

  • No it is not a voice flute, it is an alto recorder at 392 Hz of pitch

  • very nice, but I would play it a little faster, listen to Bowflute interpretation here on Youtube, please take this as a construtive critism, i used to be a flutist and believe me I took all kind of advises

  • this is the deep democracy of the music! If you read my past reply can see my different idea; now I prefer an execution slower " I would play in different way,slower,more breathed." But I change in time...!

  • Much too slow!!

  • I absolutely love the tempos on all of your recording. They are risky and provoking to modern day flute players. I again love how much extreme time is taken throughout the piece allowing all the phrases to speak.

  • Sorry, but this tempo is inauthentic to - and perhaps in violation of -Bach's music; and a bit pretentious to boot. Tempo is not a matter of personal choice. If it was, then we should not worry about respecting the composer's original intention and the essence of the piece and just play whatever we feel. Um, no.

  • Fantastic .. I love the tempo very much! This suite is mainly played by the guitar. So, I guess many stupid comments in here are by those stupid guitarists who love the kind of shitty musician like Segovia. Just ignore them.

    On the guitar, this tempo is used by Paul Galbraith. Other guitarists play like shit, especially the Segovia kind of worshipers. I also play this with this tempo anyway!

  • i am amazed at some of these responses...this is solid playing...well phrased...and we all know that tempo is a matter of personal choice. Bach himself altered his tempi to suite his moods.

  • Also..there are rather a lot of mistakes!

  • THE TEMPO IS FOOLISH
