RE: Can scarcely believe this

Hello everyone

I'm fairly new here and don't post often but I have to point this out. I'm sure many of you familiar with this guy have probably seen this, but after having listened to the whole thing I'm gobsmacked.

And this is a guy with advanced degrees from prestigious conservatoires? How?

Double post, apologies.

Sigh, countless of people here have bashed him before...nothing new.


Here ya go:

It's awful... isn't it? He plays as if he has a stick up his arse, he's a charlatan, he's a fraud, I wouldn't post his videos again.

Actually... I wouldn't be surprised if you were Bach Scholar himself trying to shamelessly promote his videos. I could be wrong, but I have a hunch...

It seems hardly surprising that "comments are disabled"...

Not often? It's your first post!

I'd have thought Mr Hall required no further debunking.  His flaws being obvious, any effort to highlight them seems merely uncharitable.

That said, I've heard plenty worse renditions.

I think he gets points for wrongmindedness.
Although, if your'e going down that road, I feel it would be more effective to add a really hard breakbeat and a load of dubstep 'wubs'.
A bit of interpretive dance in the foreground wouldnt hurt either -I dont much like the looks of him and it would be a welcome distraction.
