  • I don't know what Bach was thinking when he wrote the music at 3:01 , it's to beautiful, I can't even believe that a music can be powerful like that. Congratulation buddy, you are a great musician, and thanks you!

    Absolutely the best interpretation I have ever heard on the Piano of Toccata & Fugue .
  • @PooyanDoozandeh
    I come across this piece every couple of months or years, and every time I’m amazed.

    l'impeto, il furore , la potenza , l'armonia a tratti poderosa, a tratti calzante... non c'e' una nota da togliere e mai una nota che vorresti aggiungere ...per l'anima e' perfetta cosi' e arriva là dove deve arrivare ... a far vibrarne le corde piu' profonde

    Браво, это настоящий Бах, неповторимый, потрясающий, Божественный Иоган Себастьян Бах! Моя Икона, моя бесконечная любовь, преклоняюсь перед композитором и исполнителем великолепным.

    Ese final majestuoso... esos pasajes enternecedores... Bach vivía en un mundo alterno.
  • This is artistry and musicianship and musicality of the highest order. To take a famous 'big-stop' organ piece by Bach and reinterpret it so masterfully on the piano is genius. It is so beautiful and gives us a new way to connect with that famous composition. As an organist, I know of the challenges inherent in this composition. I play the piano, but the only Bach piece that I credibly perform on the piano is "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." I can do that from memory as it was a piece I played in my first student piano recital about 50 years ago. I could not pull this signature composition off on the piano. Thank you for sharing your artistry and talent with us. This also reminds me of why I love Spanish musicians so well. This performance makes me think of a very apt and wonderful analogy. As an organist, I have admired your fellow countryman, Raul Prieto Ramirez. He is one of the world's must talented organists, with a fabulous technique. He plays Liszt on the organ; you play Bach on the piano. Ha! Love it! Prieto Ramirez performs Lizst's "Mestipho Waltz, No. 1," on YouTube. Busting down barriers and traditional boundries is something that reminds us of how wonderful music is. These types of wonderful, playful parts of music is certainly part of what contributes to making the artform of music so fresh and evolving. It helps us to forget for awhile the turbulence and stress and awful politics of the world.

    My God the acoustic in that hall is too damn good, and your interpretation is, I love it.

    I’ve heard many piano versions of this piece, but this is by far my favorite one. Performance, sound of the piano and the room, just fantastic. Bravissimo

    Simply majestic, superb, MAESTRO! This performance transported me to the clouds and Heaven! Great job!

    I cannot describe how good this is.
  • Amazingly played, this was music to my eyes and ears. Without any experience or ablitiy to read sheet music I was able to learn the shortened version of this that I remember from one of my favorite cartoon (once upon time... a man)

    Just awesome. I used to play the piano for 8 years when I was a kid. Then I had to move to another city and did not have a chance to buy a digital piano. Now I am about to do it and I think the first thing I am gonna learn is this masterpiece. Won’t be easy since my skills became rusty but one year I think should be enough
