Вы замечательный, очень интересный музыкант, Паоло! Чрезвычайно убедительна Ваша интерпретация Сюиты И.С.Баха. Благодарю и с любовью слушаю Ваше прекрасное исполнение!
I really liked your shaping and melodic rhythm of the allemande. I thought it was really well proportioned and beautifully balanced. It just made sense. It is the first time I have heard it played like that. Nice bow by the way.
I admire Nikolai ( comment below) that he said the strings are Pirastro . I wonder how he sensed them. They could be Dr. Thomastik maybe ? Great sound great recording, hail to the new generation. What happened to the old folks like Casals who discovered this music, Feuermann, Rostropovich, good old Yoyo, they are all well retired or dead but they set the rules. The new generation is amazing and much more creative.
This is a prime example of a performance (especially in the longer suite movements) that falls apart every few seconds, caused by an excessive interest in shaping every single phrase and its components to the n-th degree, at the expense of the overall arc of the music. The tempo waffles incessantly, note values are disregarded, and there is no sense of coherence. All of this may be an interesting didactic endeavor for the performer - for the listener, however, unless he or she also is into this fad-like manner of playing old music, this is abstract and unsatisfying.
