Music video clip from the Hyperion CD: Bach Transcriptions volume 10. / pianist.nadejda.vlaeva www.hyperion-re... directed by: Toma Waszarow produced by: revofilms.com
This is a highlight in Bach's oeuvre. The video is extraordinary in showing many beauties and perfect piano technique. Such creativity is quite astonishing and well deserving of a master, beautiful pianist.
Nadejda performed at the International Music Syndicate last night. What an incredible artist who plays from the heart. Two standing ovations. We will definitely have her back.
Miss Vlaeva, you where amazing tonight in Prishtina/Kosovo at Chopin piano fest. Your technique is masterful and you filled the room with emotions. Thank you!!
Wunderbar ~ like surfing a tidal wave of virtuosity! Nadejda is playing here on Maui tonight. Instead of sitting in a crowd on a hard church pew I'll be stretched out on my trampoline watching the stars, listening to her ten best performances downloaded from iTunes.
I have recordings of this piece by angela hewitt and helen grimaud, yours rock ! By the way I really enjoyed your bach transcription cd; I had to sign off my usual online gaming and LISTEN... it was just so good. You made that soso bottle of Loire memorable. (This is in contrast to simone dinnerstein's "something about sad", a formless glob with lots of pretension). I look forward to your next playing. You go, girl ! mxncb
Personally, I like the "weird and distracting camerawork". I think it makes these videos appeal to a broader audience. When most of the piano videos on RU-vid these days are by another Russian woman who can't seem to be bothered with washing or styling her hair, the concept of wardrobe, and lacking the interpretive ability of Vlaeva, I rather particularly enjoy the all-around one-upmanship here. Flawless makeup, flawless hair, amazing dress, and not least of all impeccable musicianship.
I can't imagine how did the pianist manage not to get distracted by that xD Imagine a camera spinning like crazy around your head while you're plaiyng...
This artist might take a lesson from Bolet - I witnessed Rudolf Serkin once "fall" off the stool after a fair bit of swaying; however he was able to complete the closing arpeggios to the end of Wanderer Fantasy...
I don't like the Rachmaninoff transcription, because it's too much romantic. This version is quite baroque, but the piano can't be very baroque. I think the best keyboard transcription is the Leonhardt transcription for harpsichord.
Very nice performance! Perhaps it would have been useful to mention on the CD that this Ouverture is far better known as the Prelude of the Partita in E Major BWV 1006, also transcribed by Rachmaninoff.
A really lovely performance, but the video makes me want to yark! Whose bloody dreadful idea was it to circle around and around and ..... Oh no - I'm getting nauseous again!
I just scroll down on the comments so the video is not visible. The videographer obviously thinks *way* to much of his art. It is trivial compared to the music. The *best* that could be done is just show the hands of the person playing. Anything more detracts from the performance. They just don't get it.
Musicalement ? Très beau ! Mais qui est ce cadreur se prenant pour un Claude Lelouche monté sur des patins à roulettes et qui nous fait vomir ? Il faut d'abord respecter ma musique SVP !
Theres a hint of Debussy in this piece. Thanks be to God. Simply the Gospel. You are given free will to accept or believe. Christ came to free us from sins slavery by dying on a cross bleeding and his Blood covering the world's sin. Placed in a tomb and rose again. By his sacrifice all may claim salvation not by your doings only by his great work! By grace are ye saved and not by works lest any man may boast!!
@@abtimmy1700 Christ Jesus it is He went to a Tree with glee to free us from slavery. We all are born under a curse that makes us blind from birth to our sin we inherited from Adam. The end is near, his mercy endures forever for those who fear him. Seek the one who loved you whilst you were sinning. Christ Jesus will appear soon to judge the world.
@@tedhinshaw3174 Bach lived in an era where those able to think for themselves dared not tell the Church they were full of shit--lest they be burned at the stake... and with that guck you spewed in your previous comment, you make my case--you're nuts...
This is my favourite piece by Bach. I suggest you compare this version to a more "organ-like" performance as opposed to the piano-style arrangement: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_sO_swnrHjM.html
Technically OK but uninspiring performance. It lacks the tension and bravura that Saint-Saens deliberately brought into this piece to emulate the Bach organ version of the Ouverture to Cantate nr. 28 (which has BWV 29 opus number to make it more confusing). By the way, Bach composed this Sinfonia for Cantate 28 using the theme he already had written as Prelude for his third violin Partita, BWV 1006. Saint-Saens dedicated the composition to his friend Gabriel Faure. Other transcriptions of this work are by Guilmant, Siloti and, of course, Rachmaninoff. Given Rachmaninoff's interest in Saint-Saens' music it is not unlikely that he knew about this transcription. The performance that comes closest to Saint-Saens's music, in my view, is that by Bruno Leonardo Gelber from 1967 (also on RU-vid). It is great that Nadejda has selected these transcriptions for Hyperion, but the only bravura displayed in her video is done by the camera person.
Why don't you mention Kempff? And no differentiation between Bach's different versions. When you make a transcription of a piece written for solo violin, this is definitely different from a transcription for a full orchesra, which this one is.
worst camera work I've seen in forever. The playing is fine, but the videographer needs to find a different day job. It totally distracts from the music.
