As a pianist and composer I know and love (and often tried to play parts of) this maybe greatest work of music ever since more than 40 years in all its details and have heard many great interpretations of it. But this one is really the greatest of all! M. Czech not only plays this, but becomes it !! This is a miracle and without exaggeration one of the greatest experiences of my musical life !!!

This is one of the best piano interpretations of this last of Bach's works. I love hearing it on the piano, harpsichord, and organ. The late German organist, Helmut Walcha interpreted it masterfully on both organ and harpsichord. This is a monumental work, and Maestra Czech absolutely brought this piece, which is very complex and difficult, to life. I am an awe of her talent.

Wow! Every note is played so clearly. Each line is so carefully expressed with its dynamics and inflection. Each contrapuntal voice has its own "character" while everything seems to flow from measure to measure. I have to say I have never heard The Art of Fuge sound so "nice" as I am used to it on Organ and Harpsichord which give it a different emotional feeling. This is incredibly peaceful. I listened to this yesterday. And now I am back listening again from the start, almost done. It makes me happy that Bach is so respected today. Funny observation, I meet a lot more people in their 20s who know who Bach is compared to adults 40+ who do not.
