Bach-Busoni Ich ruf zu Dir

[andhow04]

Last post for now. after the medtner ands criabin, i thought it best to warm-down by playing something slow and sober, so i picked this. It was just for fun but i think it came out alright, comments desires.
THANKS

i liked the tempo, i liked the dynamics, pretty much everything excepting several particular notes on that piano (of the high notes)  it sounded like these notes had no felt on the hammer.  very brittle and mean sounding.  the bass on this piano is warmer and mellower.

you have a really good 'feel' for chorales.  i heard the 'singing' part throughout - which you hardly ever hear when played too fast.

Simply lovely!  What especially moved me about this recording was the way you brought to life Busoni's impeccably poetic markings.  Etwas heller in particular was so beautifully and artistically done, with a lovely sound.  The oscuro section at the end (which by the way Busoni appended himself, it's not to be found in Bach's original) could be felt, but I would wish for even slightly more misty feeling.

Bravo!

i didn't know busnoi added bars.  shows how much I know.  I've got to learn the organ! well there is nt enough time in the day.  I also like busoni's comments and i always look at his editions of things when they exist, like mephisto waltz, in the main theme after the repeated note intro he wrote "rustico" and that just solved it all for me.  Also i have his goldberg variations, and i've seen both volumes of his WTC, and some stuff was so impressive i just copied it into my own score, since i don't own his edition.  Can you still buy his editions?
