Andras Schiff plays BACH:Invention BWV 772-786

[@alexarcadia7289]

The most beautiful renditions of Bach's 15 Inventions I have heard thus far.

[@iSumie-z9c]

これほど滑らかで優しいバッハを聞いたことがありません。自分が習っていた中学生の頃を思い出して懐かしさも込み上げて来ます。アップして下さってありがとうございます♪

[@bdstudios6088]

After suffering a headache that won’t go away, only some Bach by Schiff could help me feel calm and better ❤

[@cathylee9069]

The notes are gentle and drops like dews on grass. It's so sensual. It exudes softness..I saw him perform in Vancouver in October.

[@Zephyrus47]

Laying in bed while listening to Bach just brings great joy to me. I'm grateful.

[@naoki080808]

華麗、繊細、感覚的。 一つ一つの音が楽しみに満ちている。

[@Marctull66]

I knew Andras Schiff's name by looking at records but I had never listened to him nor to Bach's Inventions (I know almost every other keyboard works). It's a pity I'm discovering his playing only now but... better late than never ! Magnificent. It's the kind of very delicate performance that I love on Bach's music. And who cares if they were "exercises" ? Many pieces by the composer are apprently labelled as such and that's probably why he was despised for almost centuries., before being discovered again in the middle of the 20th century - maybe better appreciated than he had ever been... These inventions - performed this way - are really beautiful music, with this unique talent for counterpoint. Yohann Sebastian Bach was too humble, probably.

[@ngatihine6072]

Never heard so many grace notes and embellishments. Beautiful 😍

[@allenmusicman]

The phrasings and articulations were superb! Truly beautiful playing!

[@allenmusicman]

Phrasings are how the performer communicates the beginning middle and ending of a musical thought. This is accomplished by a combination of dynamics and small silences placed between the notes.

[@rachelwang4664]

i agree

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

🌹 "Classical music is a testament to time, resurrecting profound and mystical emotions within each note." 🎼✨

[@gardask]

That's really nice and clear interpretation.

[@AndariegoCervantes]

El contraste entre el estilo de Gould y el Schiff está en que el segundo parece seguir más las indicaciones de la época teniendo en cuenta la diferencia interpretativa del piano. El pulso metrónomico, la velocidad para no distraernos en el contrapunto. Muy auténtica.

[@fxcourty1593]

Magnifique! L'invention N°6 sans doute la plus belle...d'ailleurs c'est la seule où Bach a mis deux reprises!! comme pour mieux l'apprécier...

[@IrisMori67]

I play most of these inventions myself as an amateur and I really like Schiff's interpretation and flawless execution. Kudos! Other than that, Bach is a unique genius... but that's not breaking news :-)

In case anyone's interested in music for 2 pianos... I've just completed writing arrangements of all of Bach's 2 part inventions. One piano part remains as Bach's original, whilst the other plays a new additional piano part. Available via my website: www.simonpeberdymusic.com

My personal reference recording of this 15 musical perfections. (called "inventions" in Bachs language of understatement). Who but Bach could restrict himself on two lines, and yet the listener (and player as well) don´t miss the slightest thing ?

[@Hajjmusic_]

Crazy trills lol

[@Hihellohahah]

Beauuuutiiiiiifuuul!!!!!

[@calatria2949]

As for articulation, if you see a Bach score, he hardly ever writes any indications besides notes. 2 things - there was a consensus on Baroque playing style so anything Bach wrote would be redundant (generalising here) but this has now been somewhat lost to the ages perhaps aside from historically informed performances. It also means that the performer is free to interpret how he pleases.

[@豆サク]

天才だよ

[@Othdren]

Those aren't "ornamentations" in the 1st Invention. It's a different Version(1a) BY Bach.

[@FirstGentleman1]

My only point of criticism are the ornaments in the first invention.

[@justadude641]

FirstGentleman1 Bach wrote two versions for the first invention and Schiff played the second

[@alain1959]

My only point of criticism is all these notes between the first and the last ones.

[@reaganwiles_art]

guess Schiff thought it could be a little more baroque

[@charlesdavis7087]

Where in the world did you find a copy of the first invention with those triplets? Sounds wonderful... but surprising. I love the way one can play Bach in so many different ways and still hear the simplicity of the human heart. Thank you for being you dear. CVD

That's the beauty of great music and being human in that everyone can interpret their own meaning from the same source. Think of reading someone's facial expression and how many ways it can be subtly interpreted - a smile can be a grin, a smirk, beaming, while it can also be forced and hiding something. While the fundamental is there, it speaks to everyone individually.

He's a great pianist, but his embellishments are too much...of course, this is subjective...also, he seems to be a but too rhythmically slack for my taste. I much prefer Alicia's and Martha's rhythmically tighter approach to Bach, although either of these ladies didn't (or dont) play a lot him.
