Bach Piano Concerto BWV 1055 A major David Fray

David Fray

[@patrickquirke1721]

Not sure I should write this. But Whenever I play this, like a lot of Bach music, I can`t but help being moved, and tears always come into my eyes. It so profound. Its a strange thing to me that just a few notes and sounds arranged in a certain manner can have this effect. To me its like God is telling you the meaning of life.

[@David-ho6mu]

yes - inexplicable otherwise. something so profound one can not articulate what seems to connect us with some great universal Aeolian truth.

[@fernandovillagran9436]

Actually, music si God's voice.. i think Bach was an angel, an emissary of God. I played Brandemburgo #5. My favorite composer si Bach, since i was a child

[@ddau6255]

I envy all of you being able to play this music. Listening to this music to me is already a present in itself. Keep playing

[@mk5244]

…Da klingen Harmonien, die diese kleine Erde weit überstrahlen. Hier klingt das Unsagbare, Unbeschreibliche, Unfassbare. Es ist der Geist des Universums gegen den Ungeist unserer begrifflichen, angsterfüllten Welt. Die Autokratien der Welt gegen die umfassende Botschaft der Humanität…

[@frankgaertner9021]

I’m 85. I actually knew Bach first through the most powerful radio transmitter, KSL in Salt Lake City, when I was but 17 and heard the Mormon Tabernacle Organist playing the most dissonant and complex thing I had ever experienced at 11 pm, and I had just begun to dose off. Oh well. What the heck was that?! Turned out it was Bach! Which Prelude and Fugue? I still don’t know because my ears were still aligned to harmony and this was the first time I had heard complex counterpoint. Then it was on to Wendy Carlos in 1969 and soon after Glenn Gould. Now I am ruined for life. I just heard David Fray for the first time last year! OMG! What have I been missing? David is so young here in this fantastic work. He’s much older playing Bach’s orchestration of Vivaldi’s Concerto for four Pianos, but no matter! Wow, I can’t get enough. I do sit-ups, stomach crunching planks, and dancing with two 10 pound weights before I go off running all to the tune of David Fray and many others trying their hand at Bach and Vivaldi. They have helped make my old age a glorious and exciting one.

[@peterthorpe8954]

Sublime. Dare I say it more worthy than Glen Gould ? This is orchestra and soloist in complete harmony

[@karolinaeigenmacht5433]

Better than Gould. More ethereal, less technical ❤❤❤

[@Areostyl]

Bach's music is a miracle.

[@amelierappeneau7719]

Je n'aurais pas dit mieux ! J'aime infiniment l'analyse et les interprétations des œuvres de Bach par David Fray et je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter.

[@gerardpaire304]

Le talent de ce garçon n'a d'égal que son immense culture, sa passion, sa sensibilité, sa joie, sa générosité, sa modestie. Aucune esbrouffe, juste une fusion parfaite avec Bach. Un merveilleux pianiste, un merveilleux musicien. Je l'adore !!! Merci Mr. David Fray.

David Fray - is one of the best pianists in the world, possessing the highest level of technical data, exquisite nuances and amazing sound, his understanding of Bach's piano concertos is perfect . . .❤🙏👌

[@elletuppen4844]

Could not agree with you more. He continues to amaze as he matures but the essence of the talent is here from the start. His understanding of Bach is particularly special and unique. To hear him in person is simply mind-blowing.❤

[@eltonaquele]

Forgive us for all the fear. Love is real.

[@willemvangestel6820]

Thank you Elton. My reaction, although pissed, was heartfelt. My first six years were under German occupation. I learned love (trust ?) later on. Like this music ? where are you from ?

Your reaction moved me, and my embrace crossed the ocean from Brazil to you. I love this song as I love beautiful life stories like yours.

David Fray is one of those very rare musicians who feel the depth of Bach's music and able to implement with today's instruments - magnificent! constant goosebumps and ecstasy - thank you!

[@richardwebb2348]

In a true 1950s style.

[@ffelegal]

5:15 I remember he saying "More!More!" at rehearsal. This second movement is so haunting and incredibly beautiful. Such a gem!

[@dbyers3897]

I totally agree. The 3rd mvmt is my favorite. So light & uplifting. Made all the more so by Fray's modern airy treatment.

I love his Bach. The clarity and pure joy. The way he, with such seeming ease, conducts and plays while expressing the music also with his face and body. Thank you for sharing this.

[@dbyers3897]

I understand. Since discovering Bach in the school library in about 1971, I regularly come back to him for comfort & joy. And I hear his many melodies often in the works of others.

I listened to this performance of yet another sublime work of Bach and I have been uplifted because of his flame of joy and passion turning this, as well as each Bach performance, into a furvent prayer to The Creator. What flame of faith in Bach; what flame of beauty in Fray's delivery. Thank you; you shifte my dark day from the gutter to heaven.

Maestro, viéndolo y disfrutando una vez más; la escucha de mi corazón. Gracias, desde, Argentina.

[@gaborkovacs]

nobody ever played Bach with such a depth of emotional intelligence, depth of feel, depth of field, depth of range, and so on. he's simply the BEST of today's performers - live long David Fray!

[@jbpfrance]

Nobody... indeed. I am so fan of David playing Bach... (and he should not play any other composer... that does not work.)

[@richardwebb2348]

Unless you have surveyed all performance of Bach's many keyboard works since Bach died, I cannot see how you could make such a claim. It is your personal opinion and belief.

[@jbpfrance]

@@richardwebb2348 Gabor said: "today's performers"... and I understand "as far as he knows" of course. In the past, Edwin Fischer was equally perfect. As far as I know too... :-)

[@peterjongsma2754]

Bach has the best bass lines. All his parts are melodic.

" The emotion remains with all its potency," when pianist David Fray performs. Outstanding orchestra and D. F. is a fabulous conductor as well.

[@Darkboy2525]

THIS is how it is supposed to be played. Baroque on his best. A perfect translation of how this brilliant piece should be played. Mr. Fray his understanding of the Bach piano concerto's are sublime !

[@matthewwhitehouse301]

Darkboy2525 Apart from the fact these concertos aren't Piano concertos, they're Harpsichord concertos. Bach played on an early German Fortepiano and hated it..so

[@Darkboy2525]

Okay wiseman.

[@hellcolik7056]

So I don't want to sound harsh but I think it doesn't change anything about what Darkboy2525 says. You don't have to call it Baroque if you don't want to, but the fact is this interpretation of Bach's concerto tells something about the Baroque spirit, and I agree with that statement.

[@thomasmichael628]

Auch die franko-flämische Schule trifft es ja nicht wirklich. Wir haben davon auszugehen, dass Bach ein universelles Genie war (und ist); so ist es besser ihn anzuhören und dankbar zu sein als sich Sorgen zu machen wo man ihn letztlich einordnen möchte.

Be sure to take the time to watch the longer version of the recording about the production of these. Bach keyboard concerti and see what it can take to produce what we might take for granted.

Premetto che una delle migliori esecuzioni di Bach soprattutto di questo straordinario Concerto uno dei Capolavori assoluti di Bach dove una solare progressione di arpeggi discendenti in progressione Anima il primo tempo che lascia spazio ad un dolore dell' adagio dove la tonalità di Re minore di do minore sol minore in modulazione perpetua t trasmettono .il dolore del mondo. Nel finale il dialogo tra orchestra e piano si fa sempre più intenso come fossero uno strumento solo .Orchestra di altissimo livello semplicemente perfetti

Merci pour les moments édifiants par la puretée melodieuse que notre cher JS Bach nous accorde.
