J.S. Bach - BWV 639 (Busoni)

[flapdragon]

How does it sound? I tried to emulate Lipatti's incredible recording with regards to dynamics, but obviously I'm not close to the level of his genius.

For me, there is not enough voicing or rubato.

It's not too bad, but you need to make the piano sing better! That is Lipatti's trick here. You've gotta force that piano to really sing!

To my ears, your recording was 'nice'. It just didn't captivate or move me very much. Work on the balance of tone until you can make it sing. We want to hear extreme cantabile here!

Change the freaking picture and stop trying to sell divine music with sex.

Huh? I just thought the picture went well with the piece. I'm sorry you don't feel that way.

How is a girl, flashing most of her breasts, with the text DJD3evice anywhere near this music? Please tell, and I'll gladly listen.

To each his own, but I when I look at the picture I see a woman aching in pain and despair, perhaps crying out to God in the same way Bach did with his music. It almost brings me to tears when I think of this photo and Busoni's bleak yet beautiful transcription. To me it's a very spiritual connection. But like I said, to each his own.

At least you tried.

[flapdragon]

well i can see why you don't understand the connection, but as a spiritual person i think i see it a little better than you, no offense.

Whatever you make out of this picture yourself, this is simply a fashion model doing pose number whatever the photographer asked her to do with the intent to look "sexy". In the context of divine music, it certainly bring tears to the eyes, yes, but for different reasons in different members.
P.S.: The recording itself is nice, but that is the only word I can think of.

EDIT: You can find the right "spiritual" context for that same girl by doing a search on YouTube for "DJD3evice".
