on Nov 20th, 2008Bach-Siloti
“Under the Lid” ( underlocket ) goes english!
I recently got my mind set on a small piece of Bach transcribed by Silotti or Siloti? It is a prelude i B-minor that is very simple and improvised in style. I liked it ver much much and got it, and now I try to play it.
One of the jury members at the Nordic Piano Competition played it beautifully on a rehersal but not in the concert. It was Nikita Fitenko, one of my new heros to admire.
What I wonder is, what is your favourite recording of this piece? I would like to listen more to it and be swept away.
On ITunes there are three recordings but none of them was of any interest for me. There is a Emile Giles version on Amazon though…
The music is not so complicated, quite transparent and meditative but still very appealing to my soul. The melody is a trigger for humming it rest of the day.
Pardon my Swinglese…. 
update: I found this today with Emile Gilels on youtube.
Enjoy!
Hello!
The Bach/Siloti is a marvelous piece! Sokolov plays it like no-one else. You should check it out.
Could you send me your e-mail address? There is something I would like to ask your opinion about. We could then switch the language as well
Thank you very much! I will look for the recording with Sokolov.
And now I will switch back to swedish..
