I'm enchanted..after Gould, it's so difficult to find a way to play Bach bringing out your musical personality. Enzo is speials because he's developed a hight personal, 'osn' way to interprer pieces of very different kind. IMO Bach would be pleased to hear Enzo performing this P&...
Switching to a more basic leve of reception, I'', utterlly enthralled by Enzo's performance. And his range of emotional arousals is astounding...

P.S. Enzo si very talented, but was also lucky to have a father like you...You deservea special mention  ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hello Margh!!!! ;D

You are so kind and generous with your comments and thanks for that father thing....
it so touching for this old guy!!! :)  All your your comments have always encouraged Enzo to try better each time and I can see and hear that he keeps on maturing and improving in the way he plays.  THANKS to mothers who know the value of encouragement!!!! :)


Hello Enrique!!!

Oh he plays his pieces better than in practice .... the audience has this turbo boost effect on him as if he needs the crowd to bring out his best.  THANKS for your generous comments and encouragement.   ;D ;D

I confess I'm not a big fan of Bach but I'm a big Enzo fan no matter what he performs and this performance was enchanting.  I especially found the fugue to be so serenely beautiful and calming, really angelic.  Thanks, Enzo and Emill, for sharing.

thanks for commenting on my b major, the last one i had to learn to complete the entire WTC. i think this is pretty good, the only thing being i think there should rather be more of everything, for example, more legato, more crescendo, more de-crescendo, more contrast. there are some nice moments in the fugue but over-all i don't feel the dramatic structure, as a whole. the prelude is fairly melodic but i think it should be more melodic, which is the real challenge of playing all those scales; for me it's an issue of legato, a legato which produces more smoothness and vocal-style lines. it's hard with the scales. your performance is far from mechanical, that's a good thing, but i think it needs more of everything you're doing!
