Stunning interpretation. I love how he brings out the inner voice leading at 6:30, it's just amazing how every voice has its own melody.

[@evrimbayindir]

you caught it very well and thanks for making me realize. it is amazing indeed. his interpretations are full of such discoveries.

[@gottfriedwilhelmvonleibniz9033]

He also did that in the first half, around 5:21, but it's harder to notice! Thanks for highlighting it!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this style of playing Bach... But then again, all your pieces and the way you play them is gold, Mr. Katsaris! Subscribed.

Beautiful interpretation. I like the tempo of the Allemande. Nice contrast with the Courante. Also, the voicing and articulation are amazing. Rivals the standard bearer, Lipatti.

[@Renshen1957]

Teddy I agree with much you wrote, but as to the Allemande, to borrow a term from physics it’s “damn fast.” J S Bach’s distant cousin J G Walter’s Musical Lexicon described the Allemande as a slow dance, “composed and danced in a grave and ceremonious style…(from the French use as an entry dance, and the German nobility of J S Bach’s era were all Francophile obsessed to French fashions, language, music, even to the point of “French Diseases.” Bach was Walter’s agent for the Book in Leipzig for the 1731 printing Mattheson’s 1739 Der Volkommene Capellmeister, Allemande, “a serious and well composed harmoniousness in arpeggiated style…and delightful in order and calm. There is an arpeggiated style in the Bb Partita and the tradition of playing Allemandes fast comes from towards the end of the 19th Century.

Maestro! that's a great performance 💘

[@bachmaninoff2532]

Wonderful!

[@MusikPiratCH]

When I read the name Cyprien Katsaris always Beethoven/Liszt comes into (my) mind. I always forgot that Katsaris is really an excellent pianist. Not quiet as good here as the one and only for this piece Dinu Lipatti. :D

I loved the first three movements but thought the sarabande a little too ornamented and rubato for my taste. At times, it seems that he dare not allow the piece to speak for itself. Wonderful playing though.
