bach transcriptions

Hi, some brief comments:

i) Prelude in b: Bach-Siloti, I guess.  Serene left hand and a truely desperate right hand, interesting such a contrast.
ii) Siciliano: A pleasure to hear, itīs a pity itīs uncomplete; Siloti or Kempf?
iii) Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland: Again I'd wished to hear the complete piece, you got something interesting here. There are so much good transcriptions: Feinberg, Kempff, Busoni, Friedman, I canīt guess correctly which one is it.

Anyway, congratulations.

Hi tds,

I haven't heard you play for several months in this forum, so it's great to have you back again!  I just listened to your "sample" and found it most enjoyable.  This is Baroque music played with passion suited to the era while using the full resources of the modern piano.  There is nothing dry and museum-like here.  You attend to each note and stylistic feature thoughtfully while shaping the long line.  This is very beautifully played, tds.  I believe that if Bach could hear this now, he'd be pleased.  Thanks for posting your recording.

Sorry, rachfan. Indeed it's not a recent post by tds, but a 2008's one. It happens that I discovered recently the Audition Room Index, and have been browsing through it; also I was far away from piano for 2 years and just I resumed practicing and entering again to this dear forum. Therefore, I hope nobody gets angry if I resuscitate some old post. This one deserved praised comments as you have shown.
