2:35 is where Bach turns music into magic such a simple phrase yet so much

[@michaelrogers5486]

Busoni's arrangements are so challenging!! Claire plays fantastically

[@miguelcardenas6468]

Claire is Claire. Ever since I've known her from her performance I think 13-14 years ago now at the Hamamatsu international piano competition, she remained so excellent, consistent and very proficient pianist for me with her virtuous, uncomparable technical abilities. Fantastic job!

[@edmondzeldin7036]

Stunning virtuosity and exprssiveness, while remaining true to Bach. The old man would be beaming!

[@ttrons2]

It is you wonderful beautiful musicians that make life worth living.

[@user-yu9rg1rx2w]

The best piano playing ever! Fantastic!

[@Figaro4349]

I can't decide whether to praise her Busoni or her Bach but this is possibly the best version I have heard. Superb playing.

[@user-nv2hc7zv6x]

it's played too fast for me but art is all personal tastes

[@nickcastle9201]

C'est une interprétation remarquable qui favorise Busoni tout en respectant l'esprit de Bach et son génie.

If I would be so gifted as you I would exactely Play it Like you- what an unbelievable beautiful Version. Than you Claire 😊

Pyramidös, gigantische Performance 👍

[@miagilaani5853]

IVe never seen such passion ! The way her fingers move ! My God !

[@kevincrowley6975]

The Fugue may begin at 02:24, but it's all Toccata - touch simply does not get more virtuosic than this. Claire's performance is enthrallingly, beautifully expressive. BRAVO!

[@akira6829]

[@jettaJAw315]

This is by far my favorite version. Alongside Moonlight Sonata's 3rd Movement by Beethoven, this is my favorite piece in classical, and she did a wonderful job on this. Bach would be pleased, I assume.

I do share your assumption :)

Vraiment éblouissant ! Merci. Olivier F

[@edwardwilliamson1863]

She plays very cleanly, and she has a really effortless technique. There is vitality and sparkle in her interpretation of this famous 'big stop' toccata and fugue. Her use of dynamics and texturing is what really stands out, and the fluidity is gorgeous. I have heard other pianists, through the use of the sostenuto pedal, able to get more carry in the bass line, though not to the level of a pipe organ's pedalboard. If there is one critique that I will put forth is that it somewhat lacks the foundation provided by the bass line which is what imparts such gravitas to this composition. She does carry a strong bass punch at the 6 minute mark. But also, I realize that on the pipe organ, that is accomplished by the pedalboard and voiced through massive 16', 32', and sometimes 64' pipes. That can't be replicated on the piano. That said, I am in awe of this pianist's prodigious talent and technique. She is truly a gifted musician and just, in my opinion, completed a tour de force interpreting the great Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
