Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) Partita No. 2 c-minor BWV 826 1. Sinfonia 2. Allemande 3. Courante 4. Sarabande 5. Rondeau 6. Capriccio Martha Argerich, piano Recorded at Studio Lankwitz, Berlin, Germany, February 1979
Absolutely beautiful interpretation! Dynamics, voicing, phrasing, articulation, tempo are all just amazing. But most of all, the passion conveyed here is incredible.
For years I've been waiting for someone to play it in a way that will at least close to gould. And finally I have found one. While it might not be quite Gould, it is certainly one of the best. Bravo!
Martha Angerich stands among the select few who possess the ability to capture the entirety of this musical masterpiece in all its opulence. Beautiful!!
Merci Walls pour vos choix en disques de M.Argerich . Voilà 4annees qu'elle embaume ma vie d'un instrument cher à mon cœur tous mes remerciements j'apprécie 🌺 🌺
Normally Im a Gould die-hard, but in regards to this peice I've turned the corner and definitely agree with you. I find Goulds astonishingly perfect. BUT This version has a flowing grace to it that I find more pleasant to listen to without question.
Is that a stray mistake around 9:45? If so, it doesn't bother me -- the overall performance is wonderful. But it would surprise me a little that a DG recording might allow that to slip by.
She does a similar thing on the repeat, so now I'm thinking that what sounds like a muddy mis-strike in each case is just a fog of ornament caught in either pedal or reverb (or both). It's too unlikely that she'd 1) make this "mistake, twice no less, and 2) that the producer would ignore it.
@@arnoldvdwaals Well it seems you have monetized this video, then you should go in the settings of this video and remove the mid roll ads placed at the beginning, at the end of the Sinfonia and at the end of the Allemande, and even not precisely at the end of these movements, which creates a very unpleasant sensation. Have a good day
You cannot compare this to Gould. Glenn is much more a master in articulation and he has more focus. Argerich is more, as Gould used to say, an exploiter of the piano. I feel Argerich is more intuitive and Gould more intelligent. It's a matter of preference who you like best. But Gould is technically superior. He is a fanatic, Argerich is a romantic. I wouldn't want to hear Gould play Chopin, that's for sure! But Gould wouldn't even come near a piano that sounds like this one! Anyhow, Goulds playing sounds more transparant than any other pianists.
@@johnvalentine4720 Really? It depends how you look on it, I suppose. Argerich is a very extraversive pianist and Gould as introversive as it gets. For technicality: Gould could imitate anything Argerich plays and would certainly make fun of it. However it would not breath that romantic soul. Argerich could not imitate Gould. He is so absorbed in what he does! Anyway, this conversation is totally unethical (Gould would certainly agree to that).
