Katerina Kolpakova plays Bach's Toccata c-moll BWV 911

[@AdmiralSilver96]

Never was I moved to tears by Bach before this. The amount of passion and sincerity presented here is overwhelming. Thanks a million Keterina!

[@jocool9584]

Magnifique! une interprétation pleine de sensibilité avec une légèreté de touche rarement entendue. J'adore votre jeu. ❤🎉

[@youoneda]

Katerina Kolpakova is a very talented musician. I'm looking forward to her future.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you! I’m very pleased!) hope to play and record more)

Glorious dynamic control, from a whisper to a roar, all with consummate unfailing taste

[@nopalitosms]

GREAT VERSION KATERINA, EXCELENT INTERPRETATION AND TECHNIQUE!!! THANKS

[@gilchristhaas9865]

Wow…BWV 911 is my favorite Bach keyboard piece. This is by far the best performance I’ve ever heard of it. So perfect from beginning to end. I hope I can play this someday half as well.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you for those words. When I read such comments, I realize that my music is taking on a new breath.

[@benedicttisa8301]

Oh that took me away...wow 7 years ago..what are you doing now? This is the second Bach piece that I have hear of yours....they are wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you so much. It is very important and valuable for me to receive such feedback. Now I am on maternity leave, sitting with my little son, but I hope that soon I will gradually get out of the creative lull. I promise a lot of Bach and not only)

[@ThomasSchreiber-g6k]

Es wäre schön Sie in Deutschland live erleben zu können. Ich war nie Bach, eher Prokofiev, Scriabin ,Beethoven usw, sie haben mir den Horizont erweitert vielen Dank vielleicht ein CD mit Bach wäre toll, alles Gute Ihrem Sohn und ihrer Familie natürlich.

[@TwoCatsUp]

Really nice all the way around. But what really got my attention was your handling of the ornamentation. Then I listened to a few other renditions and came back to yours, which I find exceptional. Your technique, your phrasing, your lyricism and tempo all say to me you are wise beyond your years when it comes to piano work. And your interpretation of the works of Bach is right up my alley! Such a nice job, and I understand how much sweat goes into it. Keep it up.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you!i’m very and very pleased!now my Beethoven is available on this channel)

[@jordan._.07]

This was so good it left me speechless

[@BachIdealized]

Musicianship at the highest level. A sense of the WHOLE, which appears to come effortlessly, and which is so difficult, so rare a gift in the interpretation of Bach! The recording is excellent, to boot, which is no mean feat on the Tube!

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you a lot!!i’m happy to read it!now I did some Beethoven)

[@tnsnamesoralong]

0:02 Toccata 1:03 Adagio 3:24 Fuga I 5:53 Fuga II

[@joshuaevett5441]

This is some great playing, this tocatta is one of my favorites. The adagio is mystical. Well done!

[@piusottovoce]

Impressive! Spellbinding performance! Thank you Katerina...

[@jamesm6082]

Thank you Katerina, loved your interpretation. This tops as my favorite of the 911s that I've heard.

[@Fil2fer1940]

Bravo et merci Katerina pour la qualité et la finesse de votre interprétation. Je l'écoute et la réécoute tous les jours. Une merveille. Un phrasé d'une grande délicatesse dégageant une grande sérénité. Encore merci.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you! Sorry,I don’t know French at all( I’m very pleased to read such words!

[@Canto28]

Her awesome technique & interpretation are IMO just wonderful & right - my favorite performance of this. I even like her concentrated posture over the keyboard, though at times I worry she might accidentally play a note with her nose. But it would probably be a good note.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you for those words. I know about my specific sitting at the piano, it's a long story, but I really don't think about how I sit, it's my organics, and of course it doesn't bother me in any way. Thank you for seeing the real me and listening. And you hear. This is infinitely important and valuable to me.

[@TheMeskies]

Feel like crying from so much beauty, Ekaterina.....Thank you.

[@herrtoccata8456]

My reference recording on this piece. Every single note is gold. Phasing and tempo so balanced and musical. Well thought out and executed. Bravo.

[@katarinaok5326]

Катенька, превосходная работа! Вы удивительно точно сочетаете математику Баха с его эмоциональной глубиной, философией бытия. О технике даже не говорю: фразировка, полифонический "разговор" - высокий класс! Мне кажется, Ваш глубокий, "тяжёлый" звук, так хорошо выражающий Баха, как раз и происходит от того, что Вы "вешаете" голову и плечи на кисть, что, при Вашей миниатюрности, помогает добиться такой мощи. Спасибо за радость сопереживания великой музыки. Теперь буду следить за Вашими успехами и слушать ещё и ещё. С удовольствием куплю любые Ваши записи.

[@pegoeltd]

Thabk you Katerina. Great pleasure to hear such precise and analytic (and still) music ! All the best for 2021

[@osamakhzam]

That was brilliant.

[@martintoogood1444]

Not much that I can add to what has already been said. I think Bach himself would have been blown away by this sensational performance,. Truly magical.

[@saturne46]

Magnifique interprétation sensible et virtuose. Bravo et mille mercis…

[@mokjunto4108]

あなたの繊細な演奏が大好きです！ありがとう！！Merry Christmas!！

[@exequielchuaqui5968]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@magoit]

Yep, excellent. Really a pleasure to listen to it

[@udowolf5054]

Danke für diese wundervolle Interpretation.

[@michelponcet5810]

I'm speechless. You are above all expectations. I wish you all the best from Paris where I hope to see you once. I wish you a very good life. God bless you. Michel Ps. More Bach please...

[@oldbrassman2157]

I wish I could like this more than once. A great pleasure to hear your work!

[@kaysonpiano]

Easily one of the best recordings of this piece by far! She is far beyond her years. An old soul definitely.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you. We all need to grow up in music as we getting older in life. Otherwise music means nothing. Bach gives us so much. We need only to want, to try, to find it.

[@kaysonpiano]

2 years later and I continue to still come back to this recording habitually! Can't ever get enough of it. Would absolutely love to see and hear a newer interpretation of this piece! Cheers~

[@yehudatoledanobenaim3230]

Excellent, congratulations, it's great as you control your emotions with your head!

[@navidrachman]

Brava. Excellent interpretation.

[@abs0716]

Such a beautiful performance of one of the greatest pieces of keyboard music ever written! Thank you so much for sharing it!!

[@ms77619]

RIP YOUR BACK lol In all seriousness amazing job ♥️♥️

[@adarraga]

My neck hurts badly just out of watching her. But THANKS for such a lovely version of the 911!

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you. My posture doesn’t disturb me at all.) I think it’s about manner. And thank you once again.

[@brandonacevedo8997]

This is incredible. So perfect!

[@eduba3822]

First time I listen to your music. Subscribed!

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you! I make recordings rare. And now i spend all my time with my little baby. But soon hope to start making a new program.

[@alonsegev7829]

[@MrYuryZ]

Cool stuff! Well done!

[@gattonzolo]

J’ai écouté et réécouté beaucoup de fois cette pièce de Bach jouée par vous: décidément c’est l’interprétation que je préfère de loin parmi toute les versions que je connais. Merci ! Et j’espère écouter de nouvelles interprétations de Bach, quand vous reprendrez à jouer (j’avais lu que vous avez pris un congé après la naissance de votre enfant 👦 ) À bientôt 😊

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

You have no idea how I feel when I read your words. I want to play and play, over and over again. Thank you, I hope that soon my baby will gradually give me time for new programs and recordings.

[@carmenaballi]

Que maravillosa tocatta. Siempre Bach

[@stephaned.2135]

Très belle interprétation, ma préférée avec celle proposée par Martha Argerich. Merci ! Je ne reviens pas sur le fait qu'une fois de plus le Génie de Bach s'exprime absolument....Une leçon de perfection harmonique....

[@yehudatoledanobenaim3230]

Elle ne fait pas de cirque et contrôle sais émotions avec une logique que Bach mérite

[@williamedmuntyote183]

great performance!! hope to play this someday :)

[@YunusOzturks]

5:51 Very nice interpretation

[@carnivalcruiserbill]

I'm so glad that I came upon your performance. It is absolutely convincing. Counterpoint is brought out very clearly as well as the character of each section. I hope to hear more of your wonderful playing!

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you for this message! I’m really happy to read these words.now I tried to do some works of Beethoven☺️all of them are here on my channel.

[@marcovivio7275]

Wonderful! 👏💚🎼🎹

[@GBusso]

Beautifully played.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Many thanks.

[@Massimo.Bianchi]

Bravissima!

[@ZhaodiWang]

Perfect! I am so glad to have discovered Колпакову! But the fugue part of BWV 911 just keeps playing in my head day and night for past two months nonstop, so I listen to it on KZbin once in a while to ease the tension, but then it cones back in few hours even more vividly. If there was a topology to our emotions, than this fugue will have a singular one. My impression is that it is a highly dimensional object and in spite of all the dazzling complexity that we hear, what we comprehend is just a projection with high dimensional kernel, so there is still so much to enjoy and learn from

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you for these words!I’m pleased a lot. All we need Bach, he’s our great teacher and his music is like ocean’s depth.

[@queliza2881]

gorgeous...

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you! I’m pleased!

[@philbarone4603]

Grande suono e pathos (grazie Kolpakpva ) from Italia

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you.)

[@SStone-dm7es]

I pressed ‘play’ and was unable to press ‘stop’ until the final note. J S Bach himself would have done the same. Beautiful.

[@Fil2fer1940]

Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter ton interprétation. C'est joué avec le cœur et l'âme. Bach dois t'écouter de là haut et apprécier ce moment de grâce. Tu donnes l'impression que c'est facile....... cela coule naturellement, harmonieusement, la technique est oubliée, dépassée !. Merci encore merci. Continue de nous enchanter.

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Merci. I’m surprised and pleased a lot..!

[@omarel3648]

how amazing

[@KaterinaKolpakova]

Thank you!I’m pleased a lot.

[@YJACQ]

Conquis, envoûté, subjugué, je ne me souviens pas d’avoir jamais écouté une interprétation aussi juste, précise, équilibrée, brillante, poétique et pleine d’humilité. Un petit miracle en somme, de ceux qu’on croise si rarement et qui vous marque jusqu’à modifier notre perception du monde. Quel espoir et quelle promesse ! Merci, merci, merci ! Bonne et longue route !

[@francoisasselin4183]

Merci pour votre commentaire si admiratif et si juste, que je partage totalement ! Ca me fait aussi toujours plaisir lorsque je peux constater que des français ont mis des commentaires ! Parfois, il n'y en a aucun ! J'espère trouver les vôtres sur d'autres videos !

[@vasyavasin3747]

Присоединяюсь к восторженным отзывам! И хочу добавить то, на что другие не обращают внимание. Только один заметил (Bach Idealized) "A sense of the WHOLE". Возможно, просто не осознают почему так завораживает Ваше исполнение. Это ЦЕЛЬНОСТЬ образа! Я прослушал других исполнителей и ,к сожалению, именно это качество отсутствует у многих: произведение распадается на части, отчуждённые друг от друга как супруги после многолетнего брака... Сыграл первую часть и забыл о ней тут же. А Фуга сама по себе. Или бывает, что родство чувствуется, но не знают что делать дальше с этой фугой... Каждый раз когда такое слышу, вспоминаю блюз: Oscar Benton "Not The Same Dreams". "...Since we're sharing the same bed, we're not sharing the same dreams anymore..." Спасибо за радость которую Вы нам дарите.

Wow, amazing rendition! The music seems to unfold in an absolutely organic way, I especially love the way you phrase the 'dance theme' from 3:24. Motivates me to play that piece :)
