Bach - French Overture in B minor, BWV 831 (Schiff) [Score] 

Thank you for choosing Schiff to this video, I think he has the best interpretation of this piece

To me this is the greatest suite Bach wrote. All the movements are fantastic, though the Passepied and Echo is one reason why this suite is so special to me. Schiff is in absolute god mode in this performance (and indeed, the rest of the french suites + italian concerto from the same concert!?). Makes every movement dance as it should, and also makes it all sound so easy (we can only dream it is..). One small thing about is playing that shines to me is his care with all the ornaments, to me it's like every trill is never rushed and has just the right number of notes!

Oh, that was wonderful!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for upload

Can’t get enough of this! 💗

merci pour cette publication...excellent!

I cannot imagine how someone is able to memorize such a complex piece ! Most people are not able to memorize it in a hundred years.

When Sokolov set the standard for playing this work (Colmar 2011, YT), all other versions became suddenly redundant

I love Schiff's playing. I prefer Sokolov's tempestuous, dynamically varied interpretation of this piece. Schiff's version is too restrained for me.
