J. S. Bach - Prelude and Fugue in E flat minor, WTK 1 - Olga Stezhko, piano (Live) 

One of the best Performances ever - great continuity, tempo, tone, phrasing. Bravo!

Excelente execução. Sonoridade perfeita. Maravilhoso ouvir.

Für mich ein Schlüsselwerk in dem schon so unfassbaren Gesamtoeuvre Bachs, dieses es-moll-Präludium!

How amazingly beautiful is your soul in the perfect performance. ❤❤

Most beautiful Bach presentation I remembered.

Pure beauty in form of sound. Great performance!!!

Touching and beautiful.

Как приятно слушать, когда музыкант вдумчиво играет.

Enjoyed this immensely. Played with soul. Love the left hand voicing. Very clear and commanding. The moving middle voicing shared between hands was terrific. Thank you for sharing your performance.

Mastery and deep musicality, deat rendition!

J adore ❤

Felicitaciones colega!!! Haces Musica Celestial. ❤ De tu corazon solo pueden salir cosas buenas tocando asi BACH. Desde Uruguay Felicitaciones. Carlos Balbi.

I so relate to your RU-vid video and it impressed me.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who can't conceive of playing that prelude without massive rubato.

Brilliant!

Olga, this was beautiful.

Awesome. Great performance.

Fantastic!

merci

Very beautiful! ❤

Olga, thanks a lot, well done! Just signed for your channel.

Complimenti Esecuzione impeccabile👍 ❤❤❤🌹 👏👏👏

Beautiful performance. Thank you.

Happened upon this. Never heard of her. Wow is all i can say. So many technical hurdles, balance in voicing, exceptional lyric quality, played as a set..... and from memory. Just exceptional! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Also thank you for posting this. I think you played with Bach here.

Wonderful!

Amazing!

Bravo!!!

Bravissima!

Beautiful playing and founding director Jonny looks forward to being present at Olga’s return to the Series this Friday

Muchas gracias desde México

Parabéns pela linda execução.

The sirene at the begginig give something interesting 😳 Very beautiful performance

Очень хорошо.

wunderbare Darstellung, danke !

🥲 Soooo beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍

This is one of my favourite numbers of the WTC I, but the prelude confronts one with some quite difficult artistic choices for the voices of the the left hand which requires the interpreter to have an over-all view of the prelude and fugue, which itself is a great landscape, and varies very much according to interpretative choices. Masterfully done here, interpretation as poetry. But the tripod could have been placed such that we could get a better look at the keyboard and see less of the black leather seat.

Very beautiful

Brava!

BRAVA E BELLA

Beautiful playing!

Un Bach que sona romàntic. Entenc les discrepàncies, però m'agrada.

❤❤

Well done thank you

so sweet girl and so well played

Rather good tonal Balance, I would love to Aussist a concert of yours

No way

Bacharach?

All those know it better comments. Shut up and listen to.

Hey Bach Fascists! JSB intentionally left all tempo and all verbal instructions out of books one and two of the Well Tempered Clavier. So y'all are free to record your rigid attempts to hamstring the modern piano trying to make it imitate those 300 yrs old keyboard dinosaurs to your hearts content. But stop baying at this gorgeous musician like Jackals of mediocrity

GO Olga, GO. LOL

She plays one line. This is mistake. There are several lines in this prelude. This is a polyphony of thoughts at different levels. They are connected by the same key, but each line tells its own story.

Этот Бах предполагает исповедь, а это просто замысловатые фразы, которые не несут смысла и глубины,внутренней сдержанности, пока это просто игра ради игры

А где собственно Бах?...увы слишком много чувств,где энергия баховской музыки

Bach...?

она играет цельно, как песенку а там полифония я не слышу здесь полифонии

Way toooo much pedal

Something is not right here for me. Rubato? To many pauses? This is not chopin or beethoven. This should be bach. This is anyway not for my ears.

Es un buen ejercicio poder tocar como un robot, pero para mi gusto la interpretacion es muy "cuadrada", parece la reproducción de una partitura de Finale.

How amazingly beautiful is your soul in the perfect performance. ❤❤

Olga, this was beautiful.
