- Igor Levit’s music video for “J.S.Bach (arr. F.Busoni) Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu Christ- - Choral Prelude BWV 639” is from his new album “Encounter” which is released on 11 September on Sony Classical. It is a very personal double album marked by a desire for encounter and togetherness. The program includes rarely played arrangements of J.S. Bach and Johannes Brahms by Ferruccio Busoni and Max Reger, as well as Palais de Mari - Morton Feldman’s final work for piano.

The 33-year-old once again steps beyond the limits of pure piano repertoire: in the Busoni transcriptions of Bach’s chorale preludes and the late Brahms, which are rarely heard as complete cycles, Levit assumes the role of an organist who fills vast church spaces. In Johannes Brahms’ “Vier ernste Gesänge,” he lends instrumental eloquence to overcoming the torments of fearing death. On the other hand, the gentle shimmer produced from its very few notes makes Morton Feldman's extremely quiet work for piano, “Palais de Mari” (1986), the epitome of a sensuous, transcendental realm of possibilities.
International Release date: 11. September 2020
Video producer: Boris Fromageot

#IgorLevit #Bach #Encounter
I can’t really explain why, but I almost can’t physically and psychologically listen until the end. My father played this when I was little, he’s gone 4 years now and I’m at a point in my life where I need to change my life path completely. This piece expresses despair for me, so much I feel it hurting deep inside.
I hope you find peace.
Love to you from Holland. Slowly your sun will return. 💖🙏
A very interesting description of this piece of music, I think I feel the same ... it is quite peaceful, though very sad ... maybe yearning. I'm also at a point in my life where I think I have to change my path completely. I hope you've find your way in the meantime 🙏
Yes... agree. Now i know what to listen to whenever i need a good cry. I honestly thought its not possible to be more depressing than Chopin's prelude. I was wrong.
Igor Levit at his finest!
Bach setzte in Musik um, was er nicht in Worte fassen konnte. Seine Dankbarkeit und Freude über Jesus Christus.
This is by far the best version I have heard on UA-cam. So beautiful that it makes my heart tremble.
Same here ... excellently played, outstanding 🥰🙏
I like Sokolovs version more, cause it doesn’t just sound like a beautiful peace, it sounds like a prayer.
Superb. I'd recommend also Edna Stern's rendition ua-cam.com/video/VSmesYdlukI/v-deo.html
I agree. @@sjshsjs7522
Try Shoko on UA-cam... the ending with slowest pace is phenomenal
Bach put love in each note; busoni brought that love to the piano; Levit felt that love and have given to us. Let us keep Bach alive and love will live.
Il y a toujours un jour où un pianiste rencontre une oeuvre qu’il fait sienne et qui devient son testament. Et bien voilà, avec ce choral, Igor LEVIT entre au Panthéon de La Musique. C’est époustouflant de beauté et de sensibilité tranquille.
Musik, die umarmt, tröstet, wärmt. So berührend und schön. Encounter ist wirklich einzigartig.
Bei dieser Komposition muss ich sagen, der Joke Seppl Bach hatte es einfach drauf. Es gibt mehrere Beispiele innerhalb seiner Musik, die so berührend und therapeutisch wirkt, dass sie wahre Seelsorger sind.
Handwerk kann "Mann" lernen. Musik zu machen wie diese, ist einfach Genial. Sehr gut, um nicht zu sagen beeindruckend!!!
No words needed. Absolute beauty in it's purest form.
One of the best versions of this piece. I´m so touched...
Wie schön. Diese Vollkommenheit macht sprachlos.
Сразу вспоминается фильм Тарковского "Солярис" и Микеленджело с его выразительными руками, музыка - космос, спасибо!
Subtle, profound, and a joy to hear at the hands of Igor Levit. J S Bach’s ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ.
Heart-wrenchingly beautiful music. My life is so much the better for it.
Thank you Igor. Merry Christmas. May the Lord bless you in 2023. 🌲 (Holland-eu)
Ich habe selten so etwas gutes und schönes gehört ,da spielt jemand nicht nur mit seinen Händen nein er legt auch seine Seele in sein Spiel und das mit großem können und Leidenschaft ,jemand der nicht nur spielt sondern auch etwas zu sagen hat dem wir zu hören sollten .Viel Erfolg und Glück für die weiteren Vorhaben .Ein zuhörender Fan mit Leidenschaft .
Wer hier nicht zutiefst berührt ist, hat ein Herz aus Stein. Perfekte Symbiose von Komponist u. Zelebrant.
There is a path between this Choral of Bach and Beethovens familiar moments of calmness.
You found that path, Sir ! Love from here :) Thank you.
My father, my father.
Une harmonie.....superbe....LOUISIANE
Painfully beautiful.
Igor Levit at his finest!
Wow, it's so profound ! I am drowned in it.
Immer wieder so berührend!
Danke für solche heilsame Seelen-Nahrung!
I could not refrain my tears. Marvellous.
The rubato in this is very nice
Ich dachte, der Politpianist kann nur Politik. Aber er hat auch Dinu Lipatti gut verstanden und liefert hier Hervorragendes ab.
Bach muss man stets beim Wort nehmen. Und in diesem Stück sitzt einer ganz unten im Loch und ruft mit zweifelnder, schwer gewordener, matter, aber nicht ganz hoffungsloser Stimme nach oben - genau das kommt musikalisch zum Ausdruck.
Beautiful! Ich bin vom Himmel gefallen!!!
God bless you! Thanks!
Acojonante.
Perfect interpretation. It doesn't get better than this. Chapeau 🥰🙏
This is perfect timing for my life… stunningly so. 🕊️
Was für eine feinfühlige und tiefgründige Interpretation - sowohl pianistisch als auch von der Idee der visuellen Umsetzung im Video her! Danke!
Großartig!
Sostenuto for ever...
Tellement prenant et sublime. Merci. Cordialement . Olivier F
Beautifully played.
Gänsehaut. Encounters ist vorbestellt, freue mich sehr drauf
Wunderschön ❤
С первой ноты - просто прекрасно.. точно, неторопливо.
everything ingenious is simple...like
Schönes Lied ...touched my heart... I'm a fan of yours 🇯🇵
Profound - exquisitely aired!
Divinement
Beautifully！
So Beautiful! Just ordered the album. please come to Seattle!
Que maravilla Dios mío
Gracias !!!!
숨막힐 정도로 아름다운 해석입니다. 🎉😊
Very good version.
Жизнь так коротка, а ещё и делим земли и деньги..
Wunderschön, simplemente maravilloso!
2024 May Holland. 🌷🌷🌷 Mr. Igor Levit and SONY Classical may I please put this video on Face-Book ?
Maravilhoso!
Przecudna jest ta muzyka.
Głęboko porusza i koi smutek.
Bach cierpliwym był ogromnie człowiekiem.
Mimo cierpienia pisał i tworzył.
To jest jedno z arcydzieł
Soo powerful, Bravo!
Marvelous...!!!!!!
Obrigado por tão bela musica e interpretação... !!!!!!
The musical idiom of Bach is the higher philosophy.
Schön das du für Jesus spielst Jeshua haMashiach chai🙌🏽
Brilliant player
Hermoso!.
Prachtig
Lovely❤
Spellbinding performance
Dieser Choral ist einer meiner liebsten. Ich spiele ihn aber lieber original auf der Orgel.
🌹🌹🌹
🌷
♥️
👏💯
Sublimity exemplified !!
Un diamant dans la nuit.
also das Video is ziemlich albern, aber super gespielt 👍
The interpretation of the piece through the piano is very good. The visual interpretation is off putting. The visualizations are sentimental and unoriginal. There is so much being said in Bach's music. To reduce it to hands reaching out to each other is simplistic and trite.
Ohana!
Gruselige Visualisierung! Ansonsten wunderbare Interpretation.
Der Herr wird Dir die passende Antwort geben, Du Freund des Pilatus! Wir Ungeimpften werden nicht vergessen! ✊
oh hey no Ultrakill comments
would pay money to be able to kill the video part
what the hell is with that first hand
The tattoos destroy the beauty of this piece for me…in the context of the original composition, what were you thinking to include this!!!???
I do like the clarity of expression but my problem is the tempo. Almost everyone plays the piece too fast. (I said 'almost' everyone. Not the grandmaster herself, obviously : ua-cam.com/video/9ckdRu6bXlw/v-deo.html
Still I think Alfred Brendels version is better, with its a little bit faster tempo, and not so much "heavy weight" in it. The spirit is more up in the air then bound to the earth.
Dreadful video images to sublime music
Nur reine Noten. Keine Musik leider. Niemand spielt diesen Choral besser als Nikolaeva.
He tries very hard. You see it in the gestures. But he knows it is useless. For the average audience which brings the money good enough.
"He tries very hard" What do you mean? What can i see in his gesture? (This is not provocation, i just want understand 😊 im bad in english, maybe its the reason to my unmysenderstood)
if you don't count yourself as an "average audience which brings the money" or even if you do, you should know that your comment was nothing but unnecessary. If you personally don't like Igor Levit, the way he plays the piano or his interpretation of this piece, that's totally OK. But if you really feel the need to make your opinion public (which you have the right to of course), you should at least try to criticize constructively, because the way you did it in this comment of yours, it only makes your personality seem very immature and full of hate, which i hope and believe isnt true. :)
@@inyu.k Very well said, thank you. 🌷🌲
Such a boring interpretation of this masterpiece, nothing of the sublime expression of Kun-Woo Paik or the romantic touch of Nikolayeva. Seems like advertising and sex is everything now even in classical music.
Wunderschön ❤️
