I’m playing this for a recital in two months and I just started practicing it. It is HARD and stressing me out. This lady makes this piece look SO easy.

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

Have you listened to the Netherlands Bach Society recording? It flows quite nicely: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4OuqmahjZ2Li68

How was the recital?

[@DanielaBodoh]

@@tutszumi I cut my finger the day before on a wine glass that I tried to catch while it fell, but the recital went well considering the circumstances :)

[@angelo_sneto]

This piece is very hard

[@jesusmon2060]

Creo, es una opinión personal, que las sonatas y partidas de Bach, su mejor interprete fue Henry Szeryng

[@rodstartube]

it's slower than those i've already heard, but it's actually for me the best interpretation of this piece.

[@reveriesinred]

rodstartube fully agree!

[@kwaku1984]

100% EXActly what I thought

[@kwaku1984]

Sounds like she takes her time... she doesn't play it as "it should be played", incredible nuances, etc. wow

[@brandoisthy6678]

Yea but ita not in the baroque fasuon. She plays this piece as if it was made for romantic era, due to the long strides of the chords rather than a really staccato fasion.

[@jeremymetzger9129]

fugues sound way better played at a slower tempo! That way Bachs mastery of counterpoint really shines!

[@AshlynnAspires]

My parrot finally make a noise. :') I've been showing him parrot videos and letting him listen all different types of music all day. I think he likes classical just like me. I'm crying.

[@Torrelli]

Lana convinced me this is how Bach should be played. We forget all too often that the score is just the letter provided by the composer and that it's up to the performer to provide the spirit or soul to the music so that it can live again. Thank you Lana and Boris!

[@CamilleGG451]

And especially during Baroque period!☺

[@biancacalin3127]

Magic. unreacheble. and the best performance of this piece i can imagen. thank you bach, thank you lana, thank you boris. You make this world to a better place.

[@lindsaysmith2453]

I think JS Bach is the greatest composer & you play his work beautifully. The acoustics are great. Congratulations to your sound engineer.

[@donsurlylyte]

no question greatest ever composer. if you played nothing but bach everyday of your life it would be enough.

[@TheDerrickoh]

to be able to play such beautiful music so well.. that's a gift

[@collinrowland8833]

Absolutely beautiful to be able to watch the violin as it is singing.

[@r.m.r.3224]

Am new - very new - to my classical music awakening. This piece was suggested by a reader in another music video so here I am. I've just only finished listening to this piece and it makes me feel like a naked child on a spring day lying on a field of warm grass as the clouds slowly part to reveal an enveloping sky... I don't want to wax poetic but, suffice it to say this piece made an older person (me) very happy and very, very grateful to Lana, who, If, on the off chance she reads these comments, has made one person in the world very happy after a very long in door hibernation due to COVID-19 . Thank you. You have no idea how much I appreciate this.

[@michaelnosworthy1745]

i am trying to play the guitar transposition of this formidable piece and it is wonderful to hear the violin version played at a slightly slower tempo than a lot of violin virtuosos. This allows the chordal structure of the piece to be more defined, especially by such an accomplished violinist. Its very diffult to illustrate chords in the violin which involves double/triple stopping allied with exact tonal intonation of the arpeggios. Its very impressive.

[@johnflink9286]

Amazing interpretation. Somehow the chords sound much richer, cleaner and more sustained at this slower tempo. Aided of course by an amazing technique. The resonance of the acoustic is also perfect for this piece.

[@abz124816]

Outstanding and sensitive playing.

[@kawaibluebow]

Lana Trotovsek....I'll try and remember that name. Bravo.

[@singmengchoo728]

Wonderful baroque style, creative freedom, passion, naturally breathing, beautiful tone- this interpretation really has it all

[@Devineagan91]

This is one of the most beautiful things my ears have ever come across. It is played in a great location by a beautiful and extremely accomplished musician, the only thing that could make it better would be if i was in the room while it was being played. Thank you for sharing this piece with the world and putting it online.

[@llwydanwyl]

what has a person's superficial beauty have to do with how they play an instrument - what an idiotic tcomment!!

***** I never said it did. But i do think she is pretty in addition to playing a great piece well.

[@r.m.r.3224]

@@llwydanwyl And why would you feel it necessary to demean a stranger struggling to make a positive comment. Can we just give criticism a break in the midst of one making beautiful music. Was his comment really that much of an affront to your hyper-woke sensibilities?

[@musomaster9027]

Such a lovely tone

[@nicholsoncartoons7523]

She really nails this... it's a one off. Even the sun shining in the church window. Did that just happen or was it timed somehow. there's a hell of a lot of resonance in that church. The sound-man got a bit carried away with the positioning of the mics. It doesn't really need that much resonance to achieve that tone. It's just an inspired performance. I have listened to it a dozen times, or more...
