Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for sharing the videos, and the music.. I like the way Jacques loussier does Bach, Bobby McFerrin, is very clever. I like the way he interacts with the audience.

Hi there Marval,

Yes, I love to know that musicians and audiences everywhere keep finding in this music such tremendous depth. Another wonderful thing about Bach is that in spite of being so greatly loved and respected by musicians and audiences there is really no fanaticism about him as a person. The music he wrote succeeds so well there is no need for mythology or exaggeration.

Margaret,

I'd like to post a few more Bach tracks here in the coming days. Perhaps some of the lesser known ones.

Where is your Rachmaninov thread ? I like a lot of his works too.

Regards

RN

Hi Robert,

In the Classical Music thread, CD posted this "Memories Of A Great Composer". That is Rachmaninov, so I think if anyone wants to post about Rachmaninov, that would be where to post it. Unless you wanted to start a completely new thread. CD posted some lovely Videos.

Thanks Margaret. It seems there was a major internet problem in the London area this morning so I could not post till now. (Sudden loss of internet connection across large areas of London is very rare but it has happened twice today).

Good to know there is already a thread on Rachmaninov. I'll visit it.

Now, must see what other Bach I can put here.

Regards

R

J.S. Bach
English Suite No. 6 for Solo Keyboard
BWV 811
Soloist - Andras Schiff (Piano)
Decca

Recent research has indicated that Bach’s set of 6 beautiful ‘English Suites’ for solo keyboard were written earlier than supposed. (Perhaps even in Weimar around 1715 when he was around 30 years old). Forkel and other writers first suggested they were written as a gift for an English nobleman. Still others believe they were an intended musical gift to the composer G.F. Handel during various short visits to Germany from his base in England. (Bach tried unsucessfully to meet him twice - each time Handel having just left town).

J.S. Bach
Cantata No. 131 (1707)
BWV 131
‘Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir’ (‘From the deep call I unto Thee’)

Collegium Vocale Gent
Tenor - Howard Crook
Bass - Peter Koov
Conductor - Philippe Herreweghe
Virgin CD

This delicate and wonderfully sensitive work, said to be one of the earliest, perhaps even the very earliest, of all Bach’s surviving cantatas. Written in the town of Muhlhausen in 1707.
