Bravo Michele ! c'est formidable !!!!

[@GerardFinbarRyan]

Unbelievable! Genius of spirit.....JS Bach would have been bowled over by this. Thank you!

[@alexanderbrown1954]

Just incredible! It's difficult playing this with two hands and two feet, but making it sound so good on this instrument is to me breathtaking!

[@michelebianco5612]

Alexander Brown thank you!!

[@broquemusician]

Amazing I completely agree

Хорошее голосоведение! Отлично прослушиваются все темы. Прекрасное виртуозное исполнение! Браво!!

[@tarcisiomalvestiti]

Non ho parole per esprimerti la mia stima. Ho 68 anni e suono ( a malapena ) qualche facile minuetto di Bach. Ho trascurato la fisarmonica per gli studi di Medicina ma, nella prossima vita, non avrò dubbi nel dedicarmi solamente alla fisarmonica. Complimenti ed auguri vivissimi. Bravo.

[@michelebianco5612]

Leggo con molto piacere le sue parole di stima. Grazie davvero. Le auguro di poter godere anche di quel 'facile minuetto'. Buona musica. Michele

[@johannsebastianbach3411]

A lot of people already commented saying you’d make Bach proud. Well, I’d like to confirm the claims: I am extremely proud!! Superb playing!!

[@alfonsofernandezdemiguel8909]

Fantástico chaval

[@concentusxl]

Sono organista e organologo e ti confesso di avere avvicinato con diffidenza la tua esecuzione alla fisarmonica che, come strumento, non è mai stata al centro dei miei pensieri... Devo dirti però che mi sono subito ricreduto grazie all'estrema chiarezza e serietà della tua proposta musicale, difficilmente riscontrabile anche in titolati organisti. Bravo ! Hai una musicalità davvero ammirevole, indipendentemente dal mezzo col quale ti esprimi. Auguri per il tuo futuro.

[@michelebianco5612]

Grazie davvero, un piacere enorme ricevere questo suo commento!

[@andreagozzi9090]

Questo è Dio che parla.....e tutti noi siamo collegati a Lui!!!

[@TommasoBianco-on9xr]

Sei un grande fisarmonicista

Beautiful interpretation! Funny how it zooms in on the organ at times...

[@michelebianco5612]

+pianoplayer1262 thank you so much!

[@geraldmoore2163]

astonishing performance, in some ways better than the organ version,,, ,,,,,an artist to the very tips of those amazing fingers,,,

[@Engineer9736]

Well played, amazing! :) What is the organ on the background? Location? :) Would be interested to look up some video material on that one if there is any :)

[@GIOVANNONE66]

Tengo a precisare che non sono prevenuto nei confronti della fisarmonica, infatti la concepisco un organo portativo e quindi mi sono gustato questa versione di questo capolavoro e complimentissimi anche al fisarmonicista. Però mi hanno fatto sorridere le inquadrature del mastodontico organo dietro. E' come vedere l'inquadratura di un dispiegamento di mezzi corrazzati prima di una battaglia e poi vedere il generale che con sguardo minaccioso estrae dalla tasca una fionda.
