Rafał Blechacz - Bach: Italian Concerto In F Major, BWV 971: I. Allegro

[@deutschegrammophon]

As such a young performer - what do you think of Rafał Blechacz performance?

[@all1964]

one of my favourites

[@whoru2280]

Incredible

[@benliu22]

👏👏👏👏

[@daisy3384]

Makes it look so easy breezy 😁👍 ...it is definitely not!

[@juliamars6573]

Genius

[@Csantos1941]

I thought I was done expecting better than Yuja, Trifonov, Zimmerman....etc,. Then I hear Rafal Blechacz!!!!!! I am done trying to qualify this younger generation of pianists/phenomenal performers/ miracles. I am so blessed to have herd Rafal before left this world (I am over 80).

[@user-klavier]

Oh my. Italian concerto can be this powerful and energetic. Feels like the divine sunshine present all over the world, filling up even a tiny void space.

[@opertinicy]

my favorite contemporary pianist..perhaps the best performer of classics in the modern recorded era, certainly the best in the youtube era.

[@gdkabsbdkwkwm4187]

My favourite is Lugansky. Second is Blechacz. They are intergalactic geniuses

[@Timrath]

I just listened to that piece played by Richter, Gould, Schiff, Lang Lang, Sokolov and Kuschnerova, before finally discovering Blechacz. Of all these performances, this one is the most colourful. Only here can you hear the contrasts between solo and tutti. Only here are legato and non-legato notes balanced against each other. I am an extremely critical person, who always wants to find flaws in everything. I just cannot find any flaw here.

[@Li-yt7zh]

Did you find it a bit rushed near the start and near the end? Schiff was recorded quite a few times performing this Bach. Some of those are among my fav :)

[@danielconte1547]

I find something to like in all those interpretations, this one is lovely. My favorite, though, is Alfred Brendel.

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

​@@danielconte1547 YES DANIEL!!!

[@davidmdyer838]

I have listened to so many piano recordings of this lately an there is no comparison, he is head and shoulders above the others.

[@orlandocfi]

David M Dyer I think Sokolov performed this work better.

[@sharonsummers]

Yes, l think Sokolov's love of playing truly shines through.

この曲はとても好きで、ブレンデルのCDをよく聴いていますが、このブレハッチの歯切れのよい美しい演奏に感動しました。有り難うございます🎶🎶✌️✌️

[@ruperttmls7985]

I love the performance and Bach’s music! (and the pianist is handsome)

[@nimrodts]

Excellent! I love both the interpretation and the performance. Wonderful pianist.

[@linapapadopoulou7341]

Outstanding. One of my favourite pianists.

[@hannastaszak1684]

Wielki i wspaniały Rafał Blechacz.

[@luciagamper6077]

What an incredibly tasteful interpretation by Rafał Blechacz, tremendously appreciated! 👏👏👏

[@HJKey]

Oh, he is marvellous.

[@jong3404]

Impeccable technique. Great expression. Phenomenal performance.

[@johnhwalker]

Wonderful new recording.

[@doGreatartistsgrowontrees]

jhwalker1963 Yes it is an extraordinary and extraordinarily beautiful Bach album. My favorite piano recording in recent years.

[@marco78sardei96]

Wonderful performance...love the energy

[@animaborah5304]

No word to say what a wonderful music I am impressed

[@한영자-b2x]

I think rafal blechcz is a great pianist very powerful and technical

[@ucjajadwiszczak2822]

Bravo 🌟😊👏💐🎶🎹🤗

[@MUSICOFLE]

oh my, 12 years has passed since he won the chopin. the industry has been taken over by the short dress and huge muscle and we almost forget this guy. i have to say he looks more handsome after 12 years, yet still humble and dedicated to the music making. i was quite moved by this.

[@rachelr624]

[@rachelr624]

Remember me coco

[@Portoinfinitivo]

Who forgot him? In 2014 he was awarded the Gilmore! And admittedly, he's not your short dress wearing type, but from what I've seen, he's certainly not short on muscle :) )

[@republiccooper]

Who is the "big muscle"?

[@ganjamozart1435]

Big muscle maybe Matsuev? 😂

[@hugoqin666]

Fantastico…

[@scabbers2828]

音の粒が正確で綺麗で憧れます…ありがとうございます

[@ŁS783]

Myślę że taki format jest naprawdę dobry i według mnie warto więcej takich nagrań robić na yt ;)

[@lf5656]

over 40 years ago, my mother played this for her FTCL(fellow) exam- brings back memories.

Supernatural performance of Bach

Amazing!

[@stanpikulski4007]

SERDECZNOSCI RAFAL!!!!!!!!!!!! pozdrowienia

[@velisercanbahtiyar2579]

Bravo!

[@KosmasLapatas]

I can think of some 30 recordings that -to me- sound more interesting and exciting. This is performance i usually hear from 12yo Asian pianists. There is some color and dynamics and I like the very quiet passages but not the rest. Its also sounds very harpsichord -like while i enjoy the extreme legato approach. The performance is well calculated and refined but i can't detect a distinct personality and style in the likes of Gould and Schiff for example. The recording and the piano itself sound superb.

[@ellashapiro4255]

Really beautiful playing. The thing is (and I've been noticing it in pianists a lot more lately) he lets off the keys right at the very end in a way that suggests "well there's that..." It could have been more self-assured. After all, everything was played damn good.

[@flexaeterna]

Happy Birthday Rafał!

[@carlosjavierguzman1509]

Me encantó en sus manos una de las obras para mí más infavoritas de Bach.

[@Patrick_Bentolila]

Very joyful.

[@judylo682]

Very energetic!

[@金正恵-i5y]

i love this recording!

[@Prometeusz]

Dlaczego tylko jedno wideo na tym kanale ? Chcemy Rafale więcej filmów z Twoimi koncertami - no i przede wszystkim nowe wykonania koncertów f-moll i e-moll Chopina .

I can't stand how he can play so perfect both Bach and Chopin

[@pianosbloxworld4460]

It’s possible but rare. Glenn Gould played a horrible Chopin and Rubinstein might’ve played a horrible Bach.

Una versión muy fresca,vital y juvenil, quizá un poco veloz. Bach señala "Moderato" como tempo

[@silviapavani-devisser1150]

Playing Bach on a piano is awfully hard. You cannot play without dynamics because it doesn't sound like an harpsichord but you must not exaggerate otherwise it sounds too romantic. I guess the trick lies in the phrasing and in knowing a little bit of baroque interpretations. He sometimes made me think he was a little bit attentive to the baroque interpretation, so I liked him a bit more than the other pianists. But I did not get a clear idea of what he wanted to do with this piece

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know

Justice says "the soul that sins shall die". BUT, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again". And love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. He took all our sins (past/present/ even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to obey His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, or struggling or doubtful, simply be honest and tell Him that. He is not intimidated by ANY sin or struggle you are facing. ANY. He hears and will answer. If we pray for Him to come in, regardless of the condition, then He will. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. If you have any questions let me know Xx
