Superb interpretation. Mr. Schiff says he doesn't know any other "echo" in Bach''s music other than the last movement of the French Overture. There is a sopran and echo-sopran in the 4th part, n. 39, of Bach's Weinachtsoratorium.

You are absolutely right! Thank you very much for this wonderful hint🎶

András is a national and International Treasure. there is nobody like him. Sincere, educational and humble and so informative of the details when and why the music was composed. Long live Schiff!!

You dont have to prove that you are the greatest interpreter of Bach, Mr Andreas Schiff.

love him dearly

Incrrible. So many news insigths

Freedom with order, yes, beautifully fulfilling, rich, telling, unforced, humble, full of faith, and with lasting beauty

The French Overture should be performed more often, it is such an inspired work.

Thank you Sabine for your kind comment!🎶 Vielen dank🙏🏻

A wonderful pair of Sinfonias to select. I just finished learning the Eb - such a tranquil piece and key, soaked in sunlight. The Fm invention really is a dark and pensive beauty, of the same ilk as the 25th Goldberg variation. I never get tired of Schiff's lecture recitals.

Absolutely! It has those “lamenting” appoggiaturas, underlining the dramatic character of the piece…a sort of musical “sospiri”

That E flat major Sinfonia is the most beautiful jewel. He plays it so achingly sweetly, beautiful music, beautiful playing maestro.

Thank you for this video, another masterpiece of Sir Schiff. His comments are a bonus I found very helpful to further appreciate the greatness of JS Bach!

Incredible. i just finished watching it all. i shared it with my two boys. Schiff is in our Haus!!!

Straordinario.

Thanks a bunch! I've been looking for this performance since I watched it live!

Thank you very much! Really enjoyed seeing and hearing this again. Will not ever tire of hearing András Schiff play Bach, and of the way he talks about the music.

Thank you for sharing~~

Listening to classical music can be a form of meditation. It's a way to escape the chaos of the modern world and find a sense of serenity and balance in the intricate melodies and harmonies.

It’s a balm for the soul 🙏🏻

I think Bach had some family roots in eastern countries, Hungary. It does not matter from which area he came and that he lived in German speaking counties. His work is so amazing and gives us ecstasy. I like to listen every morning at 7 am to the Air which exhumes piece and happiness.

Thank you so much

Muchísimas gracias! 👏👏👏

I could listen all day ❤

The most difficult piece from Bach is the Chaconne, even most complex to the geniuses of the violin as Stern, Heifetz, Perlman. Then there are the vocal works as Weihnachtsoratorium, St Matthew and St John Passion, the organ music, Passacaglia . So we can get happiness on many levels.

Thx for uploading

Maravillosa música y maravillosa interpretación

Thank you very much for the upload. I really enjoy Andrass' playing, it's something to aspire to. Sometimes I feel like the effect of voicing is too extreme and voices/effects I want to hear are barely audible over the other hand, but who am I to judge 😅

You are welcome! I think the true beauty of polyphonic music are the endless possibilities of dynamic and agogic choices, as well as voicing :)

Why was the “Aria” from the Goldberg’s copyrighted?

I think the algorithm misinterpreted the final “Aria” for a record with copyright, sometimes it can happen🎶

I was already curious who the composers were that inspired Johann!?

Maestro Schiff, here mentioned Johann Kuhnau, who, before Bach, composed a series of “musical miniatures”, the so called Biblical-Sonatas. But before Kuhnau surely Bach knew very well the english school of counterpoint, from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, and particularly the music of J. Bull and W. Byrd.

Ein Sacrileg! Ein Steinway in der Wigmore-(Bechstein)- hall! See YT Pierre Laurent Aimard at Wigmorehall. ☺️That‘s really nice 😉 Nevertheless nice performance, András, but the Steinway always sounds ting, ting, ting boring,… 😏

😆 That’s true! I think that’s the old Steinway which is much more mellow and rounded than a brand new hamburg…
