I read beach and the Fuge.

Bachs Art of the Fugue has been a part of my life for the last 50 years. In addition to its fascinating complexity, this recording shows its extreme beauty, especially in the first contrapunct, which I hoped would never end ... One of the greatest recordings I've come across

J.S.BACH : ART OF FUGUE Vyacheslav Gryaznov.Live recital,part 1 Contrapunctus 1 - 00:34 ,Contrapunctus 3 - 05:30 ,Contrapunctus 2 - 08:30 , Contrapunctus 5 - 11:00 ,Contrapunctus 6 - 14:56 ,Contrapunctus 8 - 19:40 , Contrapunctus 9 - 28:58 ,Contrapunctus 11 - 31:20 ,Contrapunctus 13 - 39:12 ,Contrapunctus 14 - 41:55 , Thank you for this great performance !

I am almost crying. The music, voices, memory, sound, all that he makes and achieve with the parts...

Pure bliss….

The Arte of Fugue then the complete Chopin studies, this is next level

Mr. Gryaznov is from the "Russian' school and thus excels in artistry and technique. (Their teaching methods are unbeatable.) Phenomenal technique, interpretation and memory!! Bach was a huge influence on Chopin who was a very conservative composer. Many non-musicians have stated that they "like" Bach (and classical music in general) for some reason. Recent studies explain why. The brain compresses sounds for memory. Classical music is compressed (far) more than any other genre, i.e the brain works harder. This leads to the long-term pleasure derived from something complex (Art of the Fugue) vs trite "popular" music. It's why classical music has staying power without boredom while "popular" music changes constantly.

The best music in the universe.

The art the the Fugue is unfinished: the book abruptly stops at 51:30, supposed to corresponds to Bach's death. Gryaznov proposes a completion and a closing of the Fugue, mixing B.A.C.H signature and the principal theme in forward mode ! So beautiful to finish on B.A.C.H message (sharped :) ). FORMIDABLE !!

wirklich schön, wie Gryaznoff diese in so vieler Hinsicht hochanspruchsvolle Fugen mit Leben füllt. Etwas, das man selten findet. Die Erhabenheit und den Ernst, den dieser Zyklus fordert, kommt durch seine Interpretation hervorragend zur Geltung. Tolle Leistung!

Браво! Вы великий музыкант.!

I still don't know how he pulled out all Chopin etudes after that... I mean, after Contrapunctus XIV you just don't play anything, it's over. World has ended and soul has ascended, right? Why do I even play.. (the question I ask myself when seeing live pianists like M. A. Hamelin, who effortlessly just nail most difficult pieces without breaking a sweat). Still, there's something about playing it yourself. If you're interested in Art of Fugue, I recommend DVD recording + documentary called "Desert Fugue", made by Fugue State Films, you can find it online and order worldwide. It also features organ recording by G. Ritchie - even though I'm not a big fan of organ recordings, this is pretty damn good, also it includes last contrapunctus with ending written by Helmut Walcha, blind organist who learned Bach by listening to each voice separately and then combining them in his head. Insane stuff, but it's very effective in the case of polyphony. Anyway, back to my point - Ritchie said that there's just a pleasure of playing it yourself, experiencing all those voices first hand, creating this harmony. So the ultimate experience would be to understand and hear it while playing. Pleasure-wise I don't think it applies to every single piece.. like, listening to Barber's Sonata is nice, but playing.. well, another story. You can play whole Goldberg Variations and still be able to play some more, but play either whole Art of Fugue or mentioned Barber Sonata.. and you won't be so eager to play more. I ramble, but as a last note - even G. Gould said that Contrapunctus XIV itself is very demanding and hard to play, so I would assume - also exhausting, even for such legend as Gould was.

I have been listening to this recording on and off for years now… and I find it outstanding. Only Rosalyn Tureck, had she ever recorded it, could have played it as passionately serene as you do.

Cette interprétation très sobre ne s'intéresse qu'a nous faire entendre de la façon la plus lisible les harmonies merveilleuses de Bach. Une maîtrise du toucher rare entièrement au service de l'harmonie. J'adore.

really fantastic ending !!!

Die Spielweise von Gryaznov hat mir die Augen (und Ohren) geöffnet: wunderbar kontemplativ und geradezu elegisch! Ein Kontrapunkt zur gefühlten Treibjagd eines Glenn Gould (... dessen Bach'sche Interpretationen aber gleichfalls bravourös und genial sind)

@thomasmrf.brunner

10 жыл бұрын

Trotz der "gefühlten Treibjagd" (die nur bestimmte Stücke betrifft , von denen einige aber genau dadurch erst durchsichtig wurden), war Glenn unzweifelhaft derjenige , der die Bach'sche Klaviermusik in nie zuvor gehörter Klarheit erstrahlen ließ. Das Kontemplative bei Vyacheslav scheint mir zu ermöglichen innerhalb dieses einen Konzertes 10 z.T.atemberaubend komplexe Fugen aus Bachs "Kunst der Fuge" BWV 1080 (im 1.Teil) neben allen (!) Chopin-Etüden op.10+25 (im 2.Teil) aufzuführen - was es meines Wissens bislang noch nicht gegeben hat !
