Title: DUEL: prongated vs rob47: J.S. Bach, WTK bk II no 18 in G# minor
Post by: prongated on July 01, 2007, 05:50:32 AM
...as said, I'm not very pleased with the prelude - it's too fast, the mordents/turns are crap, and dynamics are pretty much non-existent...

...but here is. Step in, rob47 ^^

ps. while at it, may I point you to: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,24050.0.html? I'd muchly appreciate comments and criticisms for the "re-recorded" attempt. Thanks!

Nicely done, guys! This is what the audition room is about!

Both excellent interpretations of one of the coolest P&Fs, but I preferred prongated's more exciting (yet still well controlled) tempo in the prelude.

Cheers.  :)

...ooooh shall we continue with a TE10 duel then? ;D

Poll added...cast your preferences ^^

...hmmm quite a different way of playing, rob...when I saw it's 9 minutes something, I thought you did the repeats...then there's dynamics...so, much thanks for showing me this in a different light!

Just short for now: actually I ike both approaches, though I actually also think, that prongated might do a bit more dynamics, especially in the sigh-motifs of the prelude. Rob's very passionate and tragical style is something that speaks directly to me, but sometimes it tends to be a bit heavy whereas prongate's interpretation has the non-legato- leggiero- lightness. Respect to both! 8) Very interesting to listen to such different interpretations. Actually a sort of draw to me.

So rob47 is one of these speed freaks? 

Then his Bach is really surprising  :)

Ahahahaha niiiiiiice! I'd expect only the likes of Cziffra to do something like that in that mini-cadenza hahaha!

hmmm I realised I should've added that 4th choice for the poll...if anyone chooses that option, you should:

a) identify yourself, then
b) submit your own rec of this piece...or set another duel :D
