Ben Schoeman (piano) performs JS Bach's Toccata in C minor, BWV 911 at the Cleveland International Piano Competition. Gartner Auditorium, Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA. 1 August 2013.
I was as your Piano recital at the Musion On Sunday the 30th of September (yesterday). My mother and I really enjoyed the Songs you performed for us. Hope to hear more in the future
Professor Alexandre, while listening 🎧 I could feel the goose 🦆 bumps, is he playing the piano, or is he typing the 💌 letters 🔠 of Divine, on the 🎸 instrument, my goodness, the ecstasy, the dissolution of mind, the joy of 🎴 playing, where every student, should be given an opportunity to display this 📷 video , the art 🎭 of becoming one 🕜 one with one's vocation, May God bless him
@@BenSchoeman595 Dear Mr. Schoeman, Please keep posting. The comment below is from scholar and very dear friend (like a brother) Dr. Ramachandra Babu from India (I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and I sent him this link as a musical example that captures the spirit of a great Indian poet he just finished his superb P.hd thesis on: K.V. Raghupathi. I'm delighted he loved your becoming one with Bach as I did. If you'd like to read K.V. Raghupathi's poetry, I would be glad to send you PDF files (my email is: peplicus1@gmail.com). Raghupathi is one poet lovers of literature should not miss. Thank you for your music! Best
@@vrcbabu29 Absolutely, Dr. Ramachandra! This is transcendence in musical form! I'm delighted you loved it and loved your feedback. I have heard many versions of this, but I would put this up there in the top one or two (alongside Glen Gould). Same with the goosebumps 😊! Artists must receive our input. Best
I'm not passionate about anything in life as much as this person is about this piece. Resisted coughing for the whole performance thinking I'd ruin it.
