Evgeny Kissin - Bach-Kempff - Siciliano, BWV 1031

[@danielshumway7046]

This piece. What can be said? The most beautiful piece written by Bach? To me, yes. I can never hear it enough.

[@AvntXardE]

Have you heard "Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen" from the Matthäus-Passion?

[@elenitapianohoy3114]

[@hdholl9696]

Brilliant interpretation. He lets the melody (normally for flute) clearly stand out while the accompanying harmonies are duly muffled. Not an easy thing to do, certainly for the right hand.

[@man0sticks]

Yes. His right hand voicing is superhuman. Incredible control.

[@yujiazhao6936]

Yep, the voicing is so great, which I struggle greatly.

[@LisaRSArt]

Well said. I fully agree. Beautiful phrasing. One of the best I have heard.

[@christophlichter2105]

You have to Listen when Kempff himself played. I, 32, have to cry everytime.

[@krisjustin3884]

Was wondering if he chose to play single notes at times instead of the chords to bring out the melody. I do this myself and it sounds much better. Kempff did a great job with this transcription, but some of it is a little overly complex to the extent of muffling the voice of this melody. Kissin interpreted this beautifully!

[@davesmith6815]

Fantastic phrasing and style. So refined and well-thought out. Truly a great mind to go with great fingers.

[@danielshumway7046]

Glad someone appreciates Evgeny as much as me.

[@norahdealmeida5847]

[@josiemesnier6520]

J’adore cette sicilienne de Bach et particulièrement cette interprétation qui s’inscrit de la manière la plus heureuse entre un Bach joué façon piano mécanique ou comme une pièce romantique . Merci à ce jeune homme qui sait y introduire juste ce qu’il faut de sensibilité .

Очень тонко исполнено, а как написано! Великий композитор, прекрасный пианист. Спасибо!

[@TLBbmds]

This piece reminds me of a baby still in its' mother's womb as it develops during the embryonic phases. I drifted off with each finger of the pianist's hand. No wonder the birthing process can be such a shock to the baby, as it 'awakens' to such a cold contrast. Love to each parent (s) who provides such a beautiful "introduction" to life.

I have this on repeat and I love watching up-close his finger techniques.

[@jose4877]

Do you play the piano? Do you play this piece?

[@jcwng9955]

@@jose4877 I do play. I am an amateur and learning this piece, nowhere musically close to how Evgeny did it.

[@jose4877]

@@jcwng9955 OK. I'm torn between learning William Kempff's transcription of this piece (as played by Evgeny) or Theodore Lack's transcription (as played by Valentina Lisitsa). Valentina plays this without the repeat sign so the video is only half as long.

[@jcwng9955]

@@jose4877 I think it is a very personal choice. I love this version Kempff keeps it very melodious with the legato throughout. To me, Kissin executed the piece superbly and left me yearning to hear it again and again. I haven't seen Lack's transcription but I watched the video of Valentina playing this composition. She is a great pianist but somehow her version was not as satisfactory. I can't put my fingers whether it was because of the tempo (faster than Kissin), the shorter transcription and/or her technique. Her fortissimo sounded harsh to my ears. Choosing between the two is really a personal preference.

[@jose4877]

@@jcwng9955 You made me pay closer attention to Lack's/Valentina's rendition of it, and you are right. Even though she plays it well, there are elements that are missing, such as the hauntingly beautiful introduction in Kempff's transcription. In Lack's rendition, the piece jumps right into the melody without delay. That was one striking difference that I think, is important. I think I'll go with Kempff's transcription. Thanks for your input. By the way, if interested or just merely out of curiosity, the sheet music for Lack's transcription is posted under Valentina's video, in the description. Nice talking to you! Take care!

[@jerominefiloni7277]

je ne m'en lasse pas, cette interprétation me comble, me nourrit

[@pebble_cloud18]

Having come here after experiencing Yunchan Lim's rendition. The contrast is striking, Kissin's rendition is innocent and pure while yunchan's interpretation is deep and emotional. i can listen to Kissin's rendition continuously for one hour and feel so peaceful, but it is hard for me to listen to yunchan's rendition second time continuously, it deeply resonates my heart, unleashing a flood of emotions, and my heart just can't bear that much. Nevertheless, I love both interpretations.

[@jinijenny]

"innocent n pure~" yes~* 🍓

[@inyou21]

I prefer Kissin’s and thats why i came here after listening to YCL :)

[@Satoru-qk4ux]

kissin better

[@lindarenninger5829]

Kissin’s version is probably closer to the original harpsichord sound, whereas Lim’s rendition uses the subtle, powerful shadings available on grand piano. I heard Lim’s performance first and thought that it is the most sublime composition I have ever heard… from the mind of God to Bach’s mind and soul to Lim’s soul and hands. Tears 💙💦💙🙏🏼

[@sonicspring6448]

I've just come here after hearing Yunchan Lim's rendition and I agree the contrast is striking. Lim, while obviously trying to express emotion, overdoes it by pulling the time around far too much, wrecking Bach's innate flow. Kissinger's perceptive rendition is much more successful.

[@pfabri]

He makes playing it look so easy. I find playing the two voices in the right hand quite difficult. I'm tempted to play the lower voice with the left. This guy and Volodos... they make everything look so easy.

[@yujiazhao6936]

Yes, quite difficult, the voicing.
