I am born in the 21st century, not in time to live through the era this song belongs to. But I do like this song; makes me feel like living in a time I wasn’t a part of.

I feel the same way about the music of Johann Sebastian Bach

[flyingcakes]

Okay I googled him, and I’m gonna spend this evening listening him!

[Kresimir]

I’m just listening to this, it’s a good way to get introduced to Bach, I think

Bach Prelude and Fugue No.12 Well Tempered Clavier, Book 2 with Harmonic Pedal

You might be more familiar with this version:

Jem - They - Official Video

It’s quite nice, but I think the original piece is vastly superior.

@Kresimir

You might be more familiar with this version:

Expecting that is too far

On normal days I strictly listen only recent EDM genres : Future Bass, Dubstep and so. Sometimes, I’d listen Japanese playlists. Its during the pandemic I started exploring genres. Until two months back I didn’t know what rock or jazz music sounds like (yeah not a good thing).

Edit: This is the thread which inspired me to expand my music tastes.

It’s a fantastic performance with fantastic sound quality. I’m playing the new 24-192 FLAC remastering and I would recommend this recording to everyone.

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (FULL)

[Kresimir]

I’d like to hear your opinion on this recording of Moonlight Sonata:

Beethoven Sonata Nr.14 "Moonlight" - Opus 27 Nr2 - Historical Tempo Reconstruction- Wim Winters

It is shocking to hear it played like this, but after some adjustment, I started to love it, and now I have a hard time going back to the “normal” performances.

@Kresimir
Although you’ve asked @BONK can’t ignore a good question too!

To me original performance is unbeatable, it is simply PERFECT in all regards.
Probably my favorite classical piece ever created, it evokes a lot of different emotions at the same time in each single second (that happens very rare in music)…
Like it came to him from GOD himself as a key to Universe.

Like an endless quest of life.

However, with that being said - it’s is very interesting experiment, but it sounds completely different and evoke very different emotional response, it feels just more hollow i’d say, since relation between sound and silence changes dramatically…

Such performance to me removes “key to Universe” aspect, compared to original.

[Kresimir]

If you look at the channel by this pianist, Wim Winters, he makes a very compelling case that this slow tempo was actually the one prescribed by Beethoven and Czerny (Beethoven’s most famous student). So, if he is correct (and I believe he is, even though there is a bunch of controversy around it, as you can probably imagine, many classical musicians are upset with Winters for even suggesting that), this slow tempo is actually “the original”.

[keybreak]

Thanks - i’ll dig deeper, but on a gut level it doesn’t feel right…
Well, regardless, whoever made the faster performance - is king of all kings

I prefer Glenn Gould when it comes to Bach.

Thanks for sharing @manuel!
That was amazing!
Probably if he lived today, he would write the piece for electric guitar.
