I'm pleasantly surprised by the way in which Brendel performs the Italian Concerto. I love this great pianist's rendering of Schubert works for keyboard, but I was sceptical about Brendel playing Bach. My mistake.
Perhaps the best piano version I have heard. In my opinion, in the piano, sustain is to be used, and Brendel did it very well! I don't like the flat mechanical interpretation of Glenn Gould: sounds like a typewriter... But I'm not a specialist; it''s just my opinion.
So agree. I think it is a pinnacle in musicological sophistry to suggest that when you play Bach on a piano, that it should be played like it's not a piano. This includes pedal and dynamics. Terraced dynamics are suggested for the harpsichord, as it is all the harpsichord is capable of. A piano does not have this problem, and I am certain Bach would not want to make it the piano's problem.
I dare to say that for Bach's piano works Andras Schiff's interpretations are the unmatched gold standard standard. Not everybody will like all his mannerism but believe me you'll find totally new aspects in every piece.
Alfred always felt that Edwin Fischer covered Bach so well that he could not compete. This recording was accidental - after a spare day appeared due to another recording finishing early.
@@andreainzaghi7373 Alfred did play Bach as encores at the end of his career on the platform. I was delighted to hear it, but the middle movement of the Italian concerto which he played better than anybody wasn’t recorded. Another great pianist who touched Bach infrequently but on the highest level was of course Cortot.
2 errori quindi 8 non 10 e lode. Perché i pianisti non suonano la musica pianistica lasciando al cembalo la su musica? La musica cembalistica non va martellata c'è il fraseggio da attuare . Sia concesso di lavorare anche ai clavicembalisti.
