Bachs Art of the Fugue has been a part of my life for the last 50 years. In addition to its fascinating complexity, this recording shows its extreme beauty, especially in the first contrapunct, which I hoped would never end ... One of the greatest recordings I've come across
I like things slow, but when he started off, I thought,"What???" But he was just saying, "Be patient. Listen!" Marvelous. And thanks for calling for my full attention.
Mr. Gyaznov has a sobering, yet youthful vitality in this precious rendition of the Art of Fuge. I would love to hear him play it again ten, twenty, thirty, forty years from now to experience how he would age into this masterpiece. Thanks, Mr. Gryaznov, you are truly an exceptional artist!!!
I am not a musician, but I love classical music and, after 33 or 34 years of listening to Bach's music, I have to say, that his work is always an elixir for my ears and soul, is music that regardless of what I do, is without exception a way of making life beautiful.
Mr. Gryaznov is from the "Russian' school and thus excels in artistry and technique. (Their teaching methods are unbeatable.) Phenomenal technique, interpretation and memory!! Bach was a huge influence on Chopin who was a very conservative composer. Many non-musicians have stated that they "like" Bach (and classical music in general) for some reason. Recent studies explain why. The brain compresses sounds for memory. Classical music is compressed (far) more than any other genre, i.e the brain works harder. This leads to the long-term pleasure derived from something complex (Art of the Fugue) vs trite "popular" music. It's why classical music has staying power without boredom while "popular" music changes constantly.
wirklich schön, wie Gryaznoff diese in so vieler Hinsicht hochanspruchsvolle Fugen mit Leben füllt. Etwas, das man selten findet. Die Erhabenheit und den Ernst, den dieser Zyklus fordert, kommt durch seine Interpretation hervorragend zur Geltung. Tolle Leistung!
The art the the Fugue is unfinished: the book abruptly stops at 51:30, supposed to corresponds to Bach's death. Gryaznov proposes a completion and a closing of the Fugue, mixing B.A.C.H signature and the principal theme in forward mode ! So beautiful to finish on B.A.C.H message (sharped :) ). FORMIDABLE !!
El Arte de la Fuga del Gran Maestro J S Bach es una obra magnífica llena de intrincados contrapuntos , producto de un ingeniero de la composición musical con calificativo de Genio...eleva al espíritu y èste al cuerpo a niveles que no son terrenales. La ejecución me parece muy meritoria , máxime de memoria...Me gustaría escucharla sin pedal a fin de sentir plenamente la ejecución pura. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga. Efrain Dávila R.
I have been listening to this recording on and off for years now… and I find it outstanding. Only Rosalyn Tureck, had she ever recorded it, could have played it as passionately serene as you do.
I betcha that the reason he can memorize this entire magnificent chunk of music is because he has HARDLY drank any liquor or smoked any cigarettes....lol! That puts my chances of pulling this off at zero.....below zero! This is spectacular!

Die Spielweise von Gryaznov hat mir die Augen (und Ohren) geöffnet: wunderbar kontemplativ und geradezu elegisch! Ein Kontrapunkt zur gefühlten Treibjagd eines Glenn Gould (... dessen Bach'sche Interpretationen aber gleichfalls bravourös und genial sind)
Trotz der "gefühlten Treibjagd" (die nur bestimmte Stücke betrifft , von denen einige aber genau dadurch erst durchsichtig wurden), war Glenn unzweifelhaft derjenige , der die Bach'sche Klaviermusik in nie zuvor gehörter Klarheit erstrahlen ließ. Das Kontemplative bei Vyacheslav scheint mir zu ermöglichen innerhalb dieses einen Konzertes 10 z.T.atemberaubend komplexe Fugen aus Bachs "Kunst der Fuge" BWV 1080 (im 1.Teil) neben allen (!) Chopin-Etüden op.10+25 (im 2.Teil) aufzuführen - was es meines Wissens bislang noch nicht gegeben hat !
Cette interprétation très sobre ne s'intéresse qu'a nous faire entendre de la façon la plus lisible les harmonies merveilleuses de Bach. Une maîtrise du toucher rare entièrement au service de l'harmonie. J'adore.
I still don't know how he pulled out all Chopin etudes after that... I mean, after Contrapunctus XIV you just don't play anything, it's over. World has ended and soul has ascended, right? Why do I even play.. (the question I ask myself when seeing live pianists like M. A. Hamelin, who effortlessly just nail most difficult pieces without breaking a sweat). Still, there's something about playing it yourself. If you're interested in Art of Fugue, I recommend DVD recording + documentary called "Desert Fugue", made by Fugue State Films, you can find it online and order worldwide. It also features organ recording by G. Ritchie - even though I'm not a big fan of organ recordings, this is pretty damn good, also it includes last contrapunctus with ending written by Helmut Walcha, blind organist who learned Bach by listening to each voice separately and then combining them in his head. Insane stuff, but it's very effective in the case of polyphony. Anyway, back to my point - Ritchie said that there's just a pleasure of playing it yourself, experiencing all those voices first hand, creating this harmony. So the ultimate experience would be to understand and hear it while playing. Pleasure-wise I don't think it applies to every single piece.. like, listening to Barber's Sonata is nice, but playing.. well, another story. You can play whole Goldberg Variations and still be able to play some more, but play either whole Art of Fugue or mentioned Barber Sonata.. and you won't be so eager to play more. I ramble, but as a last note - even G. Gould said that Contrapunctus XIV itself is very demanding and hard to play, so I would assume - also exhausting, even for such legend as Gould was.
kmg yes very annoying when you persevere and never make headway like these did, no doubt they worked very hard but a lot easier as they had God given talents and probably best teachers instruments and started young, they could memorise easily etc, makes you want to smash their hands with a sledgehammer I hate listening to this as it makes me jealous and give up
It's not a competition, my friend. Because Jacques Pepin can cook rings around you, you will stop cooking meals? Or because Roger Federer plays majestic tennis, you will never pick up a racket again? Do it for the joy.... if it brings you joy, that is.
Beautiful interpretation. About the musik itself there is nothing to say. "Bach is good" wold be the same to say "the earth turning around the sun is good" - unneccessary.

I love Bach and I almost like some of the many others, such as.....ehhh.....uhmm....you know....that other guy....with the long hair....no, not that one....the one with a serious look on his face...yes, that one!!.....I think.
the 14th one i felt like it was the culmination of a mans life. all those struggles, ups and downs, but we can see the trend that life's getting better. He'a winning the struggle. Even as he nears his end there is still struggle. And when finally his time came, what he felt about his life is told by that last note. contentment
I really agree ! He uses the B-A-C-H for the change from minor to major in the last chord of his very nice completion of the last fugue ! :) Exciting !
Sorry for my bad English. He didn't gave us a completion at all! Not a single development in the triple section, and only one development in the quadruple section! Not a single development in major! And no one of the themes in inversus. No, sir, this is not a nice completion of Bach's huge plan, this is nonsens!
Sorry for my bad English. You impress me a lot with your gentle answer! I'm sorry, I shouldn't used the word "nonsense". Imagine Bach's own completion one day will be found. If you prefer a short version, then you have to skip the final part! On the other hand, the day my own completion of this unfinsh work is on UA-cam(may 2015) maybe you will understand how much beauty we loose by not make a properly completion. Not because of me of course, but because of Bach, the great composer! Yes, I know I'm right now sounds like an arrogant arshole, but the only I try to say is this: We loose so much beauty if we not show any attention to Bach's large plan!
geir øyvind eskeland Thanks for your attention to my recording. I did some long completion with things you wrote in your first message. The biggest problem in this case is that the Fugue is verrry long itself. If we do all "necessary" possibilities (matrix) with themes, the sense of music may be lost. I realized it during playing the Fugue many times from the beginning to the end. It is not an ordinary fugue. It has so unusual and beautiful story inside.. Trying to follow the "rules" for the end is not the main goal IMHO. And just to importunately repeat its themes in "right" combinations are also not the best way to have some nice and really musical result. I decided to leave my completion short because I feel that this Fugue itself has told us quite enough even without any completion. I just add a little of my own thoughts to the huge Bach's plan. My reason to write the completion was to reconstruct the musical idea as I could understand it.
j'ais craint le pire pour la finition de la fugue inachevée. J'ais eu tord. Bravo. Je défis quiconque ne connaissant pas cette fugue, n'a jamais lu la partition, de deviner à partir de quand Monsieur Gryaznov a complété cette fugue.
Not bad. Better than many. For the complete Art of the Fugue I prefer Tatiana Nikoleyeva. But the sublime performance of the six fugues just posted by Phil Grant, on the most beautiful piano I've heard, goes beyond that. Plus amazing wilderness photos In Sync with this "infinitely moving" music.
To memorize The Art of Fugue is a feat in itself. He deserves a gold star just for that alone
remsan03 Memorizar esto es jodido ! Bravo !

The best interpretation of Kunst der Fuge that I ever heard I think. The piano (as an instrument) also has a transparency which is difficult to match.
Повеяло Талантом и Культурой... Огромными...
I don't know what to say... It's just... so beautiful.
This is simply the best! Fresh and vigorous!!!
