Bach - Partita n°2 - Leonhardt 1964

[@sergiociomei1197]

This is simply fabulous!!! If you think that this great performance was recorded in 1964...wow!! Leonhardt was really a visionary,ahead of his time.

His eyes could spit fire, and like a carrige driver he maniged wild horses. There will never be a second Leonhardt ..... Thank you so much for uploading this video .

I love the slow tempi. Pianists tend to show of their skills with this music. This recording gives me more pleasure than Argerichs. Barok music is not for showing of. I'm studying this on my piano now and feel like doing it like Leonhardt. Thanks so much for the upload!

Comparing Argerich's Bach to Leonhardt's is fallacious.

[@Johannes_Brahms65]

@@Felipe.Taboada. of course. But most people know this music by Archerich.

Have you also tried Wolfgang Rubsam’s recordings of Bach for lute-harpsichord? Another series of recordings effectively utilizing a slower tempo, not to mention the lute-harpsichord sounds very beautiful (I prefer it to a normal harpsichord)

Great reference version...so we dont make mistakes in baroque style! Leonhardt forever!

[@mikekeyes6102]

This fabulous performance demonstrates how superior a good harpsichord is by contrast to a Steinway, in bringing out the spirit of Bach's music. The Steinway is the ideal machine for showing off, and being a percussiive instrument, lacks the incisiveness of the harpsichord which is a plucked instrument.

isn’t it all great we can all take the same music and be gustav leonhardt? or js bach himself. become the worlds created of genius. to learn any instrument is to unlock a library of gods. i drunkenly state that i love music and the community between generations of musicians. thank you music. -thomas

you are very welcome

[@Johannes_Brahms65]

All great pianists got the french overture totally wrong! Hillarious! (Argerich, Sokolov, Gould, even Tiffany Poon)

[@francoiscouture2011]

I agree

[@miguelleiton3645]

Gran interpretacion para deleitar a Bach en el instrumento de su tiempo.... Leonhardt grabó tambien en esa época El Arte de la Fuga......

[@miguelalonsomartinez1945]

What a pleasure play and learn this partita during this currently year, all readed only left add more speed and agility to the caprice and the fugue in the oberture called sinfonia, its special for me play this famous piece that has been played by famous pianists as argerich, glengould, leonhardt, etc
