Beautiful and expressive without an ounce of self-indulgence or exaggeration. Perfect pianistic approach, no non-legato fussyness, tasteful pedaling, no fear of using the entire dynamic range of the piano. I'd so much rather listen to this than so many who've made a career of Bach.

She doesn't only play Bach, she plays with Bach. Wonderful.

well said. you suggest, as does Daneshpour's fine performance, how Bach likely played with Bach.

@@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz Yes, those were a standout for me as well, especially since I played them before (though nowhere near as well). I would have never thought to interpret the Prelude that way.

I totally agree. It's not a performance, it's a statement. This is a spiritual journey and this is the real depth of J.S.Bach. ❤

This interpretation is not showy, to my ear it is about sobriety and sensibility to the music. Some parts are very different from how I understand this work, and are played with much greater speed (and crystal clarity) than I’ve heard before. It is very enjoyable and her playing makes Bach’s music-in my understanding of his mastery- sound closer to the spirit that I experience, which he wanted to convey. There is a serene majesty about it. Bach was a musical sage and perhaps the artist knows this.

⁠​⁠@@BlessedDonatPowerI am not sure I agree with this comment. In fact, I am sure!! I disagree with this viewpoint entirely. Just listen to all the wonderful female performers of Bach’s voluminous keyboard works!! Amazing interpretations and artistry. Angela Hewitt, Marcelle Meyer, Harriet Cohen, Wanda Landowska, Tatiana Nikolayeva to name but a few!! There are so many more that I could have listed here!! I would not dare to think how they would respond to your views on this!!

BRAVO! Sara Daneshpour is a master for whom technical problems seem not to exist, but she’s so much more than that. Here is a person who understands Bach and is not afraid to play it as she hears it. Her lines are cohesive and well separated, and what she says with them is superb. Very refreshing. I hope to hear the French Suites, English Suites and others at some point.

Absolutly agreeing. ❤A sheer wonder!

Wow. I had tears in my eyes, listening to your interpretation. I tried to look you up in the internet: I couldn't find you on spotify 😢. You don't seem to give concerts in 2024 😢. Please make more recordings! I would listen to your performances all day. How very good to have found you. ❤

Ditto. I first discovered sara daneshpour during the van cliburn 2013 competition and was immediately impressed with her playing. Sadly she didn't pass into the semi final (a short memory lapse in the Chopin 4th Scherzo) but, I was able to buy the first two round performances through the vc shop on both cd and dvd. Her agent later on also sent me a cd recording of highlights from the following Tchaikovsky competition and I'm very blessed to have them. Her playing has changed enormously since then but these recordings show a degree of vulnerability, depth, honesty and sensitivity that I think is very special. She's a wonderful artist who deserves far greater recognition that she has.

What a beautiful sound. The fugues unfold like a flower. Bravo.

A masterpiece of deep interpretation in general, but the fugue No.4 is a undiscribeable, sheer wonder. A spiritual devotion. Tears. No words!

An introspective, often poetic and compelling interpretation.

This is gold. There are so many excellent interpretations of WTC, but this is in my personal top 3. Would love to hear this brilliant personality in a concert hall in Europe. Such an intelligent and sensible piano playing. Unique.

Impeccable technique; unique interpretation - my goodness, she is absolutely brilliant.

Chère SARA Daneshpour, ...Je voudrais bien vous écrire, plusieurs phrases à féliciter votre très grand talent artistique ❤ Mais, je me permet seule, à vous remecier pour cette brillante et magnifique joie 💫🌟 dont vous nous avez offertes par cette sérénitée profonde et paix d’interieur exemplaire☘au bout du souffle! MERCI ❤❤❤

Сдержанно и страстно. Редкое сочетание.

This was a superb performance, with such deep poetry and feeling! The fugues were wonderfully bouncy and energetic. I hope this performance will extend to the whole of the 48 and is recorded on CD! It would be a truly stunning recording to add to any collection of the 48s.

Wonderful playing. 🎉Music is the spiritual lens through which we can see, feel, and hear God and ourself. Thank you for making me believe this.❤

How different it is to hear music that is often recorded in bits and pieces played all in a single breath, so to speak! The even, calm focus of attention is part of the magic of this recording.

My goodness, what a great performance. Sara Daneshpour‘s profound musicality and her ability to command a sound of rich sonority allows these Crown Jewels of classical music to shine with great beauty and clarity.

Prelude c-moll...absolutely great and mind opening!!! The whole cycle just superb!!! Thank you! Greetings from Poland!

So beautifull interpretativo. She plays with her soul and a big sensibility

She reminds me of Rosalin Turek, very sensitive, lyrical interpretation of essentially unsentimental Bach. Sometimes it goes against my male sensibility, but the integrity of interpretation is beyond doubt. It is beautiful, fluid, flawlessly consistent. Thank you, Ms. Daneshpour.

Interesting thought about Tureck - I actually thought the same and searched through the comments to see whether I am the only one 🙂 Well, turns out I am not only a Tureck fan now, but also a Daneshpour fan! I wish I could play these pieces just as she does. Simply wonderful. Perfect.

🕊 *Classical compositions soar on the wings of grace, whispering serenity to our souls.*

What serendipity! On the day that I discovered your brilliant recording of the Chopin and Ligeti recording, you have released another gem, Maestra Daneshpour! Yes, Sergei Babayan is a colossal musician and has taught many great pianists of our day, including yourself. Thank you for this marvelous recording!

Demut, vor den grössten Geist der Musik und der Menschheit. Ohne diese betonte, eventuell sexy Weiblichkeit im Vordergrund! Und die majestätische Einfachkeit der Musik, obwohl komplex, ein Paradox der bestens zur Geltung kommt in diesem Fall❤mal abgesehen von der phantastische Gedächnis🫠

I very much enjoy this performance. I can feel the silence behind the notes, behind each key. It is serious playing. Thank you...😊

¡Felicitaciones! A la extraordinaria pianista Sarita Daneshpour por su magnífica ejecución. Demuestra un gran talento por su depuración y sutileza de esta magna obra del genio de Bach. Un excelente fraseo y sublime memoria. Saludos desde México. ¡BENDICIONES!

Absolutely breathtaking. BRAVISSIMA !!!

This is Bach in 2023, simply my new favourite version of WK. 1. THANK YOU, Sarah....

Благодарю за такое красивое и ясное исполнение Баха!Мне кажется,что и непрофессионалам это должно понравиться,так как Вы сделали эти произведения необыкновенно красивыми !💐

Je donnerais la moitié de ma vie pour pouvoir jouer ne serait-ce qu'un seul de ces prélude et fugue aussi bien que vous.

오랜만에 WTC 통으로 듣게 만드는 연주를 만나네요. 당신의 연주를 발견해서 기쁩니다.

Brilliant interpretation and performance!! I am looking forward to the next twelve.

興味深く拝聴いたしました。素敵な演奏だと思います。楽しい時間をありがとうございます。

Bellísimo !!! Una interpretación que merece ser referencia para los estudiantes ,la claridad ,el carácter los colores , la comprensión de la polifonía, un Bach genial.

Non ho parole

Great job! your treatment of the polyphony in your hands is extremely clear, controlled and very expressive. Congrats.

Как это чудесно,так искренне и так просто,низкий поклон!🌹🌷🌺

è impressionante. Una pulizia nell'esecuzione e una precisione nel tempo rara. Il tocco poi è sempre cotrollatissimo. La sto ascoltando a ripetizione da giorni.

Gran maestra ! Viajo periódicamente a Cincinnati, qué bueno que esté enseñando allá, preguntaré por sus recitales y conciertos

Spellbinding, uplifting music-making-thank you, dear Sara!

No doubt that she is a huge master now, not just for her prowess but also for her deep understanding and musicality that can bring any piece to a new life.

I really like these renditions!

Благодаря вам я услышала другого Баха. Это совсем другие глубины. Великолепное открытие ❤

Wow voice leading, wow expression, and LOVE the tempi!!❤

Exquisite playing in every respect, truly marvelous! Thank you so much for posting it! Certainly on a level with classic renditions like Edwin Fischer's.

Sara! You penetrate into the music itself in such a way that a complete coincidence is created with the feelings and images of the composer himself. Thank you! I listened almost without breathing.

Прекрасно! Ощущение ,что больше никакая музыка уже не нужна. Кроме гениальной!❤

Потрясающе!

Magnificent! Thank you!

Very fine playing, thankyou for this.

This is spectacular playing. Great use of third pedal btw. ❤

Her playing is so even, inspired, clear and most of all enjoyable. As a non-pianist I marvel at how she memorized all of these. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastica pianista!!!

Ooooooh mmmyyyyyyy !!! Superbe mais quel cadeau !!!

That´s an absolute musical enjoyment, it makes life better. Thank you from my heart to have invested so much work to create this amazing interpretation, that has almost something monumental! Glenn Gould was for 1900 and Sara Daneshpour for 2000.

Delightful. Technically flawless but with more feeling than any other performance I've seen. Hoping to one day hear Volume 2.

Bravo Sara. I enjoyed your interpretations as much as my Glenn Gould and Sviatoslav Richter gotos.

Seldom have I been so intrigued by a performance of one of Bach's instrumental compositions. Wonderful playing and wonderful interpretation! Clarity, character, coherence, ingenuity! Oftentimes, a strange thing happens: I feel that I am listening to music by other composers - Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin... Which illustrates a well-known fact: many composers before Bach led up to Bach, and are present in his work; conversely, Bach influenced, in some way or another, most composers that came after him.Sara manages to incorporate all this in her performance, and that's what I find most fascinating about it. This can only happen in a performance on a modern piano. The incredible stylistic scope of her interpretation simply could not be realized on a harpsichord. In a sense, this way of playing Bach dismantles the age-old dispute regarding the type of instrument Bach's music should be played on. Remember: Bach was not primarily concerned about that question. But, if you play his music on a concert grand, you have to do justice to Bach as well as the instrument at hand. Bach's genius wonderfully allows that! What's given is the actual substance - the notes on the page. Then there is an infinite range of options how to bring that substance to life. Sara's playing transports the listener and generates, light, clarity, and truth.

Открытие в исполнительстве , лично для меня. Давненько так интересно Баха не исполняли . Круто.

Какая красивая пианистка! А играет как! ❤️

MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE! The only I'm skeptical of is the tempo choice for the Prelude n°3. But apart from that, her technique is impressive and the way she makes the music ring is indisputably one of the best I've heard along with Master Glenn Gould. I would listen to these recordings all day long. Her interpretation is something I've never heard before, but I'm glad to have found this pianist. It brightened my day. Edit: I hope that you give more concerts, you seem like you didn't do much this year yet

BRAVO!

Prelude n. 6 is a miracle!
