How astounding is the creativity of Johann Sebastian Bach. How lucky are we, to be listening to the countless compositions he has left for us. How great to know about *davidhertzberg*, who shares them so generously :o). Thank you david !

dtruswell

A work that is saddened by minnor Key, but makes I feel passionate and dramatic.
Walscha plays each single note with a clear touch. In the Fuge, the meditation Theme is contrasted with the melody with movement by the eighth note.
Thank you, sir!

teppangnatan

Fehlerlose und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses logisch konstruierten Meisterwerks im präzisen doch etwas lyrischen Tempo mit schimmerndem Klang des genialen Cembalos und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

mylenesmartgymqa

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Tastenwerks im lebhaften Tempo mit klarem Anschlag und perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Fuge klingt echt lyrisch. Erstklassig wie immer!

Nice music ?

hasanholep61

In my opinion the best WTC version on harpsichord. I own both editions that Walcha recorded (with Archiv and EMI).

kumarshahil9728

Lovely Prelude played with clarity and nuanced shaping. Contemplative in mood. Beautiful call and echo effect. Not surprisingly, this interpretation demonstrates the remarkable musicianship of Helmut Walcha. The wonderful Fugue is expressive, with an evocative development. Ends with a satisfying major chord. Many thanks, David!!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Tastenwerks im gut betrachteten Tempo mit schimmerndem Klang des technisch perfekten Cembalos und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Fuge klingt echt schön und auch faszinierend. Das ist Helmut Walcha!

sehr sehr nice

My favourite version of the WTC. Thank you so much for sharing.

wartiahardhitya

Klare und saubere Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Tastenwerks im präzisen Tempo mit durchsichtigem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Cembalos und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!

jplunkett21

How wonderful to begin the day with a treat from your remarkable collection, David. Your channel is indeed an El Dorado :o) Thank you so much for your generous sharing !!!

audaud11

Walscha played carefully with bright, beautiful, piano-colored Prelude with a gentle feeling and an imposing chorus Fugue.

kelseywenberg

The instrument is the Hemsch, not the Rückers, which was used for the 1st book. Other than that, many thanks.

I think it's one of the best masterpieces created by the human heart. When I am in trouble, I am comforted by playing this music.

mona1365473

Why yes!! A lovely pairing of Prelude and Fugue. While the wonderful fugue is just that -- wonderful, I find the Prelude holds more harmonic interest for me. The dissonant movement by half-steps is appealing to my ear! From the onset, I like the upbeat, perhaps hornpipe-like, melodic fragment cheering to my soul!! I'm dancin' now, forward into the day!

tangamon

Walcha's idyllic and lovable prelude and the bright, cheerful Toccata Fuge play come in special.

marlenetest

Love it !!!

asuwaiyan

Some people say Leonhardt is Bach, but I would rather say Walcha is Bach.

learn2drivebe

Wonderful ! Thank you for posting :)

idsandun2014gmailcom

Cette fugue est trop souvent jouée comme si c‘etait une competition de vitesse! Ici elle est jouée à la perfection et a un rythme adéquat. Merci

aromero20

Walcha plays this compact masterpiece with utmost respect to Bach. Simply beautiful!

kaorijapon412

The structure of the work was handled freely and it feels like a 'free fugue'.
The fugue of the 4 voice part is magnificent and it is Bach's fugue masterpiece by the technique of high counterpoint!
I would like to express my infinite tribute to David for this experience!
