[@jaimeromerorobledo]

For many years I have loved and enjoyed listening to Bach‘s Partitas, thanks to many excellent interpreters. But I had never before experienced and discovered in such a way the utmost beauty, for example, of the Allemande of this Partita 1 until I heard this Scott Ross version, that allows not just to pass thru a beautifully designed place with beautiful flowers, but to be blessed by their scent and sublime arrangement, to be enlightened by the artistry and love and tenderness in Bach‘s poetry.

[@renato45222]

La genialità con cui Ross interpreta gli abbellimenti, le micro variazioni agogiche e dinamiche (nonostante il clavicembalo tenda ad una dinamica appiattita), la poetica delle frasi estratta meravigliosamente rendono queste esecuzioni bachiane un punto di riferimento assoluto nella storia dell'interpretazione del Genio di Eisenach e rendono evidente come lo strumento principe per suonare questi capolavori resti il clavicembalo...........................

[@roberkonstig]

Bach's Partitas gold standard.

[@rodrigotoscano7533]

Scott Ross makes me want to really play music. The tempos of each of these movements are just so ... pff ... heavenly.

[@ishan6241]

Yes I agree. Temp and a very steady pulse. Something that too many people take liberties with.

C'est d'une très grande clarté, et d'une grande beauté

Still learing, still exploring, and still haven't heard ANYONE better on the harpsichord.

Jean Rondeau?

@@juliak8093 I will check out this player, thanks for the suggestion🙏

Grandissimo musicista.

[@ghmus7]

By far the best performance of these partitas. Still to be equalled.

[@cfeaugas]

Without a doubt and, in my opinion, it isn't even a close match despite there being other great recordings. I am hopeful that young Jean Rondeau is able to produce something of the calibre. Indeed, by now it seems too unlikely that his performance of the Partitas, when and if he decides to take them on, would be anything short of great. Thus far his recordings are, to my ear, ripe in intention, disposition, discernment... and the right kind of malice, what makes so many of Ross' recordings stand in a league of their own.

[@aspdenmark]

@@cfeaugas I agree. However, some of Rondeau's takes (Goldberg, or Soler's Fandango) are not very artistic(?). And Rondeau is 31, Ross died at 38.

[@cfeaugas]

​@@aspdenmark The Goldberg is one of few of Ross’ recordings which isn't among my favourite of whatever piece. I did enjoy Rondeau’s (the CD version, more so than the one here). With regard to Soler's Fandango. The piece so blatantly asks of the performer a certain temperament…a furor, an elusive derangement…a fire behind the eyes which is utterly lacking in Rondeau's take, and teeming almost dangerously in Ross'.

[@aspdenmark]

@@cfeaugas Thanks for this elaboration which helps me appreciate your perspective more. Thumbed up!

[@aspdenmark]

@@cfeaugas What do you dislike about Ross' Goldbergs?

[@chrisingres6221]

metric, agogics, tempi, also all sounds are so ideal, so absolutely perfect!

BWV 825 , buscando por doquier el Menuet I y sólo lo encontraba en piano. De pronto , como un milagro leo Scott Ross y allí estaba el cielo en 14:23 . Magnífico !!!

[@alessandro6024]

Grandissima musica, splendida interpretazione 😎

[@gfweis]

I'm a great admirer of Ross (his Scarlatti is out of this world). Just in general Ross's judgement of tempi, inflections, ornaments, etc. always strikes me as just right; so I'm very hesitant to even suggest that he pushes the Praeludium and the Gigue a bit here. But there you have it: that's how they strike me. Still, since it's Ross, I'll probably come around some day to agreeing with him.

[@marksmith3947]

He was so cerebral in his approach to performance, like a rocket scientist in his precision of thought

Esta grabación de las 6 partitas es tan fresca y brillante que tengo que aceptar que supera incluso la de Trevor Pinnock.

[@roberthoskins4125]

Such a beautiful gift you gave me, Thank you so much. P.S. I’m a Scott Ross fan

[@MinorityMans]

Love the harpsichordists, pianists tend to race through the Allemande. And he makes the bass line sing in 2 voices, like it should be.

[@MadameDequoila]

Exactly ! I thought I was alone ! Thank you.

[@franklesko2485]

I love the temp of the allemande here, as well. It really rings out, kind of hypnotic.

[@demmar6832]

The best interpretation of allemande in my opinion

Hi i don't understand, is it played in 440Hz or im wrong? Should be played in 415 or 392Hz no ? Thx you

[@MadameDequoila]

J'aime le tempo coulant et chantant - et songeur dans la deuxième partie - qu'il donne à l'Allemande. Je n'aime pas les pianistes, même de grands virtuoses, qui la jouent presque staccato.
