In the Thread: Samuel Feinberg's Well-Tempered Clavier.
Post Subject: Samuel Feinberg's Well-Tempered Clavier.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/21/2005
I warmed up this morning my tubes and dived into my shelf with solo piano music fishing for some Bach, to celebrate. I wanted it to be long and beautiful and what might be longer and more beautiful then Well-Tempered Clavier?
I deseed to go for a piano version. I passed the anal retentive and machine-like Sviatoslav Richter, atypically-unsuccessful on Bach Glen Gould, somewhat alien Tatiana Nikolayeva, overly none-idiosyncratic Carlos Martins, full of none-Bach anxiety Landowska, dry and analytical Koroliov, almost beautiful Edwin Fischer and the restrained and none-inspiring Edward Aldwell… and in the end of the ends there was the magnificent, Odessa-born Samuel Feinberg.
The Feinberg’s WTC is something else. It something else not only among all WTCs but it is something else from a prospective of the total humane accomplishments…. If you do not have this performance then you never heard how Wisdom could read Bach. “Russian Piano School RCD-16231”
I’m listening now the end of the first book and am thinking how might it be if Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli or Josef Hofmann would even play this work…
