DId you ever wonder how much/little Andras Schiff uses (damper)pedal in Bach? at 00:54 and forward you can see the whole line of dampers and they go up (pedal) when there is a beautiful chord to hold in a legato-language. This is what makes this rendering of Partita 1 so beautiful. -- I have played it so and so (not admiring myself) and finding it beautiful to use the pedal where you otherwise would need to play staccato or short-tenuto.

This is one of the greatest keyboard pieces ever created. Every note is perfect and the counterpoint is mind blowing. I first heard this in a Dinu Lipatti recording from 1950 and have loved it ever since. This is great music on a level so high that no composer since has been able to match its contrapuntal genius. The Gigue at the end always blows me away, especially the second half with those amazing harmonic changes.

I think Schiff's interpretation is much better than Lipatti, sacrilegious as that will seem. Lipatti's tempo is rather too fast, almost dismissive, and whilst I have not heard it for many years, does he play all the repeats? I think Schiff loves the music more.

@@felixsinniger280 if you can't hear that Schiff is not a proficient pianist you should have your ears tuned. In his specialities he offers something worthwhile, but the lack of technical brilliance and varied sound palette puts him far from elite level.

The subtle rubato is one of A.S.'s master touches. Along with bringing out the different threads beautifully, masterful dynamics and naughty but nice use of the pedal. Though I am surprised at just how MUCH pedal he uses in the Praeludium. He almost makes the whole movement legato...The Corrente is brilliant. The speed he plays it at is insane! But perfectly balanced. So fluent and masterful, I could barely believe it when he actually dropped a note (but who cares?).

There needs to be a substantial moment of silence after the last note is played. There is a good reason. It has to do with the vibrations in the air that remain after the music stops. The music is still radiating outward, outward and it needs a space of silence to move into. The cacophonous beating of hands, the rowdy applause, beats it back and obliterates the afterglow that is absolutely necessary for the FULLEST enjoyment of the music. The music needs to be surrounded by silence. That way, it can be heard better. It's like clearing the palate between courses at dinner. At the end of a piece, the audience should hold back their enthusiasm for a few seconds. Let the music melt away
