András Schiff plays J.S. Bach: French Suites No.1-6, Overture in B minor & Italian Concerto in F

[@raffitorossian6994]

I don't know why, every time when i listen to Andras Schiff playing Bach, i feel myself sitting in a church, praying God and surrounded with angels. Thanks for uploading.

This concert is a testimony. He was obviously at peak form, the music is just sensational. I first listened to this music with his cds back in the nineties, but this is something else. The Italian Concert he plays here, to me, is the best rendition I have ever witnessed. A video to be remembered and shown to young pianists. Also, the audience seems to be very aware that they are watching something special. And in top of that, Mr. Schiff was enjoying the music he was playing. This is a Celebration

[@erichodge567]

I cosign, 100%! That was the greatest rendition of the Italian Concerto I have ever heard, and live no less!

His 70th birthday today. Happy Birthday, Mr. Schiff. And many, many thanks.

La magie du Maître Bach sous les doigts d'A Schiff. Merci. 🙏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

13 years ago, but Bach is timeless and so is sir Andeás Schiff.

[@iguarni]

Wonderful

[@DangerRussDayZ6533]

I love his playing here. Look how relaxed his hands are. No tension whatsoever. The music just comes out of his fingers effortlessly.

[@chester6343]

He was on fire that night, the overture is sublime, my personal favourite recording

[@corelliander918]

What a gift from Mr. Schiif for this wonderful performance.

[@OrpheusSonOfCalliope]

Occasionally punctuated by chords, the French suites contain some of the most sublime and beautiful two voice counterpoint ever written.

[@НадеждаБогданова-р7э]

Благодарю! Но не только за исполнение,но и за тёплую,мягкую улыбку. Когда Андраш Шифф улыбается,то улыбаются и его глаза. А мне это очень нравится. И я желаю ему долгих творческих лет. Спасибо Вам! 22.10.2023.

Almost three hundred years later and we are still enjoying the music of Bach thanks to Andras Schiff and his masterclass performance. I think Bach was already in heaven when he wrote these pieces.

[@xelalex1]

did this guy really just play for 2 hours straight? what an amazing achievement

[@PKLARREICH]

He accompanied in Winterreise, then played a complete Schubert sonata. (Wife reported)

[@xelalex1]

@@PKLARREICH just amazing

[@alinabughici9555]

What a miracle, lucky to hear him♥

[@amirmotahari6186]

no pedal and the piano sings with that beautiful bel canto legato ...!how he gets that singing tone is a mystery to me.

[@grunercharon5882]

Es gibt wohl keinen anderen zeitgenössischen Musiker, der eine so intime Beziehung zur Musik von Bach hat und mit ihr so by heart vertraut ist. Nicht weil er auswendig spielt, sondern weil er eine organische, natürliche Inklination zu Bachs Werk hat, das nicht er interpretiert, sondern das ihn, Sir Andras, auslegt. Einzigartig.

[@claudioh5148]

Ich stimme Ihrem Kommentar zu. Herr Schiff hat ein tiefes Verständnis für Bachs Musik als Ganzes. Ich liebe Bach und seine Musik. In diesem System der Dinge wird es nie wieder einen Bach geben. Wir sind gesegnet, beides zu haben. Nochmals vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Kommentare mit uns geteilt haben.😊

[@ТетянаГрицак-е4л]

I've been listening for the third day in a row. Ingenious.

[@cacildamehmari]

GODLIKE MUSIC

[@gabrielcayul1929]

What a performance and a sublime rendering of Bach top works. Thank you Mr. Schiff!

[@PatrickGaudin37300]

Ln'excellence avec Andras Schiff s'invite à l’interprétation de Bach dans le palmarès des meilleurs

[@billmunger9241]

The man has the touch. Such magic! I'm going to find his CDs.

[@Piflaser]

Not the touch is magic but the flow.

[@stephenpettett3472]

I love this recording of the French Suites. That frrst Allemande gives me goose pimples every time, divine.

[@SMORAME]

Excelent and virtuos

quel toucher! les voix ressortent, la perfection...

This by @jason1675 is the very best comment here. The shortcuts to the most moving and intimate movements. Thank you.

[@user-pv5yt7ff6s]

Спасибо большое, чудесное исполнение!

[@luisrueda7672]

Hermosa y maravillosa interpretación de Schiff, Bach es sublime. Gracias, gracias

[@SL-lk9bw]

If Perahia's DG album is a textbook, this surely is a book of poetry (I love both).❤

[@haimlevy654]

Great music and playing

[@ucootza]

Thank you, Sir!❤

[@YuriiKharchenkoMusician]

Amazing ! 👏👏👏

[@HilaryLuo-v7q]

Wonderful

[@kayausiu8090]

I think he has done different renditions of the French Suites. The present one is of a high order. Humbled. Beautiful !

[@Quim1441]

És com escoltar al propi Bach tocar la seua propia obra.

[@claudioh5148]

🎉bravo,bravo!!!! Absolutely magnificent performance. A master of his craft playing a master of compositions. 🎉TY for sharing these beautiful suites.

Did he play the no.3 menuet twice?

[@Marianofortepiano]

9:06

[@xinzeng-iq7zv]

only certain plp can get away with doing that, if i were to select piano, i would select a gloss finish because it's gonna be furniture anyway

[@xinzeng-iq7zv]

no point selecting piano, i think it brings the value of piano down when u do that

[@xinzeng-iq7zv]

maybe u can be like chopin, solo artist touring europe

[@Tuseneldawolfenpickle]

Why in the world do they linger on a close up of the face of Schiff? I want to see his fingers - not his pores!

[@christophgurr9292]

Second to none

is the piano going out of fashion

[@stigekalder]

No

[@catalinnicolau5389]

Ugh, that insufferable light , equal, dull touch that goes so well with the dumb smile. This as bad as it can get

[@MontagTheMagician]

God DAMN baroque music sounds bad on a Steinway grand. This is not music. It's a bunch of notes put together.
