Coincidence, fortune, and getting weepy on the MTA
One of the great melodies of all time (which isn’t even Bach’s thing, but yes, he could do it all). Not usually a “big Bach” fan, but Richter nails this one with the lushness of the strings.
Couldn’t agree more here
I first heard this Bach piece via the Swingle Singers! https://youtu.be/wLOu50pohdU?si=JRP9XQOhbx9NPwML
Ha -- looks like they did a few versions -- this is a swingin'/lounge performance from 1963: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tklwHT081sg&pp=ygUYc3dpbmdsZSBzaW5nZXJzIGJhY2ggNjQ1
I’ve never heard this performed so slowly. Love the extra layer of warmth and sentimentality this tempo creates.
