Прекрасное исполнение. Звук рояля просто супер. И это все рождает голова и прикосновение пальцев рук маэстро Соколова. Стиль игры безукоризненно точен стилю Баха и его эпохи барокко. Соколов гениальный пианист нашего времени.❤🙏👌
I was a bit in doubt by the lack of grandeur at the very opening: but the choice of a fast tempo pays great dividends in the fugue, which is utterly magnificent. This is what is so special about Grigory Sokolov: he never plays anything the same way. Everything is clearly the result of those hours of work and meditation at the keyboard before each concert.
After many years of investigating recordings of Bach on the piano I have come to the conclusion that no one plays Bach on the piano like Ruskies ... Sokolov, Weissenberg, Nikolayeva especially, Feinberg Richter etc etc
One God. Glad that you credit Him for compositional and performance talent such as this. Bach dedicated all of his music to the glory of God alone (Soli Deo Gloria (SDG) and he would write this at the end of a composition.
For me personally, I easily prefer the brilliant recording of Carl Seemann over this one by Sokolov. Seemann knows how to the give the music enough space that each note can make the required impact on the hearer (just perfect for Bach's complex music) and yet still makes the whole sound effective as well.
