Beethoven: Complete Piano Sonatas

Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Artist: Alfred Brendel (piano) For many collectors in the 1960s, the budget priced Vox Turnabout LPs of the Beethoven Sonatas and Concertos were a revelation, and introduced an amazing young talent to the public. Alfred Brendel was born in 1931 in Wiesenberg, and won t…

András Schiff Plays Bach: Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 903

Pianist András Schiff continues his remarkable Bach year with a visit to The Greene Space. In what promises to be a brilliant and profound exploration of a composer who has long been central to Schiff's artistry, the pianist performed music by Bach and others, demonstrating the originality and impac…

Bach Goldberg Variationen BWV 988 András Schiff C=256hz

I retuned this from A=440Hz down to the Scientific Pitch C=256Hz "Since France has adopted a standard pitch, I advised that the example should also be followed by us; and I formally requested that the orchestras of various cities of Italy, among them that of the Scala [Milan], to lower the tuning fo…

Bach - Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor BWV 1004 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

‘Sei solo’… you’re on your own? In the days before ‘AutoCorrect’, spelling was mainly a question of feeling, especially in another language. But what if Bach deliberately did not write ‘Sei soli’ above his six violin solos? What if he wanted to warn his soloist before sending them out on stage armed…

Bach - Violin Partita no. 3 in E major BWV 1006 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

Partita no. 3, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is not a stand-alone piece. Bach was clearly delighted with this partita, and particularly with the first movement. In 1729, Bach arranged this Preludio as an instrumental movement of a wedding cantata (BWV 120a) and as a festive overture at …

Bach - Violin Partita no. 1 in B minor BWV 1002 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

Variations are placed explicitly in the foreground in Partita no. 1, performed here by Shunske Sato for All of Bach. It is the only partita in which each dance (each movement) is followed by a Double. These Doubles are not literal replicas, however. Bach continues working with the same harmonic mate…

Bach - Violin Sonata no. 1 in G minor BWV 1001 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

The first of Bach’s six solo works for violin exudes the most calm. This Sonata no. 1, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is written in the key of G minor. On a violin, this key has a pure and stable sound, as the two lower strings (the G and the D) fit naturally in the root position triad w…

Bach - Violin Sonata no. 2 in A minor BWV 1003 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

In this Sonata no. 2, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, Bach makes the unviolinistic violinistic, but also embraces what the violin does best anyway. Even the Fugue and the Andante sound completely natural here, despite their polyphony that is so difficult to play well. The Andante, in whic…

Bach - Violin Sonata no. 3 in C major BWV 1005 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

In this Sonata no. 3, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, Bach appears to have been looking to Italy for inspiration. The mysterious first Adagio, for instance, seems just like the opening of the Adagio of the oboe concerto by Marcello. The monumental Fugue in this sonata is full of contrapun…

Bach - Violin Partita no. 2 in D minor BWV 1004 - Sato Netherlands Bach Society

Shrouded in wistfulness, all the movements of this Partita no. 2, here performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, are in a minor key. Bach’s manuscript originates from 1720, the year in which he returned from a journey to the unexpected news that his wife, Maria Barbara, was dead and buried. Even if…
