Thank you so much. I appreciate your words very much. Beethoven said: "Music is the only spiritual entrance to a higher world of knowledge."

[@jorgeurzuaurzua4011]

Yuan Sheng is arguably the best piano Bach interpreter appeared during the last two decades. His sound is convincing, crystalline, melodious. His sense of tempo is perfect. The architecture of the music emerges clean, transparent, beauteous. He builds a musical world deeply embedded in the musical world of Bach. His intellectual perception of Bach music is impressive, he may be categorized as a scholar, as his understanding of the music goes beyond the merely sensual. He approaches the musical miracle with straightforwardness and simplicity, letting the miracle happen just from the playing of the notes. No artifice, no nonsense, just the music. Thanks Piano Classics for allowing us mortals to enjoy a glimpse at the inside world of Bach.

[@демкен]

please... "the best", what does it mean this nonsense statement regarding music? there are interpreters and interpreters, it's music not olympic games... karl bohm mozart requiem it's far away from the timing of all others, gould concerto italiano the same, doesn't exist in music "best or worse", it exists only what u like or don't like... regarding sheng i don't like, the sound has a so few gamma of timbres, almost monotonous, metronomic, banal, in other words: annoying... and this is MY point of view...

[@jorgeurzuaurzua4011]

@@демкен Dear Comrade: I read my comment again. I think that calling it "nonsense" goes against the spirit of the music and the respect due to other opinions. Music IS a very hierarchical world. How do you think the seating arrangements for the violins in the orchestra is made? The "best" seats upfront, and is called the concertino or primary. He is the best of this particular group. Who decides? The stable conductor. For young piano players, there is the Tchaikovsky competition. Who wins the gold medal is the best of that lot. Like it or not, we humans are all different, and some are better than others, as Orwell recognized long ago.

@@DanielRomero-vr6ej Many thanks for your answer pointing to the young icelandic pianist. Vikingur Olafsson. He records for the Deutsche Grammophon seal and has a distinguished career as an interpreter. Besides his several award winning records on Bach, he has a wide scope including Mozart and contemporary composers. He has a blooming international career despite his youth. His Bach playing is not too different from Yuan Sheng, perhaps due to his training in New York. Like Sheng, he has been compared to Glenn Gould.

I've spent the last half century of my life with paints and brushes, engaging with some of the most beautiful places on the planet (Himalayas, Europe, Japan, Central Asia, South Pacific, South America, the American Southwest, etc.), living and depicting the most beautiful moments in those places. The only thing that can make me regret not having spent my life otherwise is listening to classical music. Bach of course, first and foremost, but also the other European Classical masters, and I also have to eclectically include classical Indian music, classical jazz, classical didgeridoo, classical koto and shakuhachi, etc. You get the idea. But Bach does stand alone, his music architectonic masterpieces of the mind and soul. God I wish I could play it! You never see something really until you stop and paint it - the steady accumulation of observation interspersed with gestures of emotion - and you probably can never really know this music unless you can play it and hear it whole with all its parts. I started piano at 57 and have managed a few of the two part inventions, so I can sense the wonders that lay beyond. Maybe in the next lifetime . . . meanwhile sincere appreciation and admiration to those who can, and who share it with us!

[@dannashibolet3350]

Dear Mr. Brian Williams, I've spent all my life looking into the art of movement, dance. In many of its styles classical, folklore, modern, jazz, etc. This includes martial arts, Kong Fu and Tai-ji. Your remark resonates with my 'jealousy" so to speak with the power of music . It always triggered me, as a young dancer, choreographer, (teaching in the academy of dance) and dance history teacher, that no matter how good the dance is, if you take away the music, it is so much less, too much less. Metaphorically speaking, it always 'falls' behind the power of music. To share with you, this observation, as a movement person, made me decide to dig deep, and search for movement phenomena that can profoundly affect me, as music does. One that is as emotional. I found it, in the architectural works of the group who founded a movement notation, upon which it started to ask what is one movement. In the brain child of this group there emerged an answer. Wonderfully equipped with this (geometrical) answer, for the next 40 years it made dances that are asking where is the edge of the human capacity to engage in pre-concepted, pre-organized, pre-composed movements in a multi jointed body working in the gravity field. Unlike known styles of dance, that have to captivate audience from afar, using big movements [180 degrees angle leg splits, or fast spins on toes, i.e. swan lake etc.] here there were no financial limits, as everyone in this project worked from his own love (6 days a week). And yes, it was nicknamed the 'monastery'. In such atmosphere there were created clusters of movements, manifested in one body. Making it possible to compose [at last!] with an alphabet of movement. One can make a theme for one hand, which could 'travel' to your other hand, a leg, of your own, or your partners', or , like Bach here, start using reverse mode, cannons, dispositions, and structure manipulations, to at last, have a work of architecture in space and time. Better still, one can hold the manuscript, read, think in the idiom and share movements with other literati. And have a library of dances! So, now, with the summing experience of 35 years, of pushing the limits of mind and body to express an abstract moving model, in this art of the Eshkol-Wachman movement notation chamber dance group, I would never regret of doing; however, yes, familiar with your comment, I listen to this music, and still am affected in a way only music can bring about.

[@MensCave-fj8hx]

Baroque music is considered less emotional than later eras of music because they didn't use dynamics as much. The piano wasn't invented yet, composers played the harpsichord or organ and did not add velocity to his notations. The song getting quiet and then getting loud is a huge aspect of what makes music sound "emotional". In the Classical era of music composers had pianos and began to include velocity. Another reason people find both Baroque and Classic music to be less emotional is because it was taboo to utilize the 3rds and 6ths of a scale and composers favored the more "perfect" harmonies like 4ths, 5ths, and octaves. It wasn't until the Romantic era of music (Beethoven) that taboo was shook. The 3rd note in a scale is what gives you the distinct Major or Minor sound and is considered to be the most emotional note of the 7 in the scale.

And the same exchange (Aria Sarabande) is in 4th Partita. These exchanges are somewhat in common, I saw this, say, in Gianluca Luisi recording (by the way, also the finest). As for me, Air best place is before Sarabande, so I switch them in playlists (where possible).

Mr. Yuan Sheng is a piano professor of China Central Conservatory in Beijing. He is considered the top Bach pianist in China. He once said, referring to another Bach pianist, Zhu Xiao Mei, "All who play Bach are my brothers." I enjoy his Bach immensely.

Congratulations Mr Yuan Sheng! How wonderful that your excellent Bach playingskills are regarded as ‘the top Bach pianist in China’! However, I wondered if you could broaden your outlook on top playing Bach pianists by referring to them not only as a ‘brother’ but also as a ‘sister’? Your modelled behaviour might give women a better chance of being included. Martha Argerich has amazing piano skills for example, which also includes the ability to play JS Bach extremely well eg see Martha Argerich play Bach Partita No. 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6pdYuEhKmBr8U Thank you!

My first listen to this set is promising. I'd say I'd place it in the top five recordings I know, and I know dozens of recordings of the partitas on piano, harpsichord, clavichord, and one on organ. I like the way he varies repeats. Not a lot of musicians do that at all, and, frequently when they do they don't know what they're doing or their varied repeats are dissatisfying.

This music has a hypnotising effect on my dog. I think it's his favourite doze music. It in no way makes him....bach.

[@roberthill1166]

But I would bet he’d like a chopin his dog dish.

[@excelsior999]

Your dog has excellent taste. I take it that playing Bach's music makes it easier for you to Handel him. (😂 Sorry.)

[@caviper1]

This music makes me transcend.

[@olegbessky5424]

Absolutely perfect performance!

[@DanielKRui]

@45:40 the harmonies/textures are perfect. The D major Courante @55:39 is one of the most joyful pieces ever written.

[@jaimebaezpenuela1197]

¡Qué apoteósico es el legado de Bach! Perfecto para vivir mejor esta Semana Santa en cuarentena.

[@GalinaMartinova-dx7xt]

[@ІннаЖовнір]

Эту Музыку можно слушать бесконечно. Спасибо Yuan Sheng за глубокое прочтение Баха. Слушаю разговор умный, интересный, захватывающий

[@prevostannie8179]

Très belle interprétation !!!! grande fluidité dans le jeu d'exécution ; très agréable à l'écoute... Une belle légèreté se dégage de ce travail au piano qui arrive à nous transporter de façon relaxante. C'est un accompagnement musical réellement bienfaisant dans notre quotidien à qui sait le ressentir. Bravo donc à l'interprète.

[@robinceuleers]

This music makes me focus and concentrating!!!

[@ferenckovacs2267]

[@samuelgomez1893]

Esto es absolutamente hermoso.!! Gracias Padre por haber hecho a este hombre ( BACH ) tan sensible para componer estás estrofas sacadas del piano de una manera casi CELESTIAL.

[@albertolawrence4050]

Bach es un angel

Lovely, one of my favourite Bach interpreters, his Goldbergs are great too! :)

[@wovonzeugtdieserkommentar2479]

einfach phänomenal - so verblüfft von dieser auf diese Weise interpretierten Musik, dass man sich unweigerlich fragt, ob man das jetzt wirklich gerade erlebt

[@maxcadzow293]

An outstanding presentation of the Bach partitas. I am enjoying them immensely!

[@CarloFerraro]

No doubts the greatest musician of all times, way ahead of everyone, the first rocker, by the way, everybody make transcriptions of his music, all who followed have his influence, a bit or a lot.

[@vid4622]

素晴らしい！ バッハこそ音楽😭

[@dmitriybm6459]

I love Bach's music!

[@andreanthonymoore5099]

The partitas open my heart and soothe my soul.

[@alexdugom]

What an interpretation.

[@peterg.bassist]

Many compliments! Brilliant interpretation! Your performance and masterful interpretation is a joy to listen to!

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

Oh so sweet, this rendering of these fun and entertaining suites are so vivid that I fell in love immediately, especially because I like the soft tempo (lots of ritardandos) in the D major Allemande, a piece of great emotion, which sounds like it was written for violin and transcribed to "clavier" and which sounds so much better on piano than on harpsichord. (G-major is not my cup of tea, but it works, I would think more vivace or presto con fuoco).
