Something for a Friday: All of Bach

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Nothing new added this week so far

[Padraig]

As predicted, I can access the site, but cannot find the current offering. Why don't they leave well enough alone?

It’s Friday but no new AoB

This https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2k...TM_hDYfEmzkS9w says new recordings released every Tuesday and Thursday, and in the past few minutes it looks as if 3 new items have appeared. They don't seem to be on the allofbach.com site though.

Somehow I experience a sharp sensation on my knuckles, M v, but regardless, I thank you for that performance which speaks eloquently
to my preference for the piano. And what a performance of a superb piece, revealing to my peculiar ear harmonies and sonorities which I missed in the harpsichord performance.

Yes Padraig,it’s almost as if they are two different pieces depending on which instrument is used.
And thanks as always ferney

... surely a Bechstein is preferable to a Steinway -

I have no confidence that I'll find my way next week with this new improved website.
I agree that we have been conditioned to expect a lively next movement, but my wish, ferney, if you'll forgive me, was to hear the Adagio again...on a Steinway!

They've altered their Website - took me a couple of goes to get there, so I hope the link works:

https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-968/

Played by Ketil Haugsand and recorded at his house in Cologne 30 months ago, but released for the first time today. A new work for me - I can't remember ever having heard it before: I wanted it to continue onto the Allegro spiritoso next movement that I was "expecting".

Prelude & Fugue in G for Organ, BWV 550

A repeat from 2017, recorded in September 2016 by Matthias Havinga at the Muller organ of St Bavo's Church Haarlem.

Vigorous & jolly stuff - smashin'!

(I presume we did all the "Havinga lovely time, wish you were here" stuff last time round?)

Marvellous and thanks again ferney.

He's mentioned in the Interview: Menno van Delft - who features as a harpsichordist elsewhere in the series.

Dare I mention the change from major to minor? A wonderful performance.

Good enough for Ella, good enough for us.

One of Bach's "domestic hymns" for performance by devout Musicians in private. Recorded 15 months ago in the Bartolotti House, Amsterdam by Tenor Charles Daniels, with three colleagues (the organist isn't credited in the ... credits).

He's mentioned in the Interview: Menno van Delft - who features as a harpsichordist elsewhere in the series. His talk on harmonising was impressive, and his organ harmony was so concise. Dare I mention the change from major to minor? A wonderful performance.
