Deutsche Grammophon I enjoy the videos. Just a video of Víkingur and his piano would suffice but I enjoy the videos. I enjoy the fishy nod to Christianity and I’m sure Bach would as well. Keep em coming
Your videos are beautifully emphasizing Bach's music. Full of emotions, penetrating deeply in our souls.Please, do continue making those kind of videos. Congratulations to the filming team, to Víkingur Ólafsson ( wonderful pianist ) and thank you Deutsche Grammophon. Thank you, Herr Johann Sebastian Bach.
The video, the story told, adds so much to Bach's music. The Prelude is not just music, it is telling a story of the human condition. The video is perfect and I think Bach would be pleased.
Reflexion eines Mannes wegen der Überfischung der Weltmeere und dem damit verbundenen Klimawandel, daher auch die düstere Tonart h-moll (b-minor) und die Kameraeinstellung bei 1:35, wo ein dezenter Hinweis auf die Überflutung aufgrund von Eissschmelzen passieren kann.
In answer to your question (of a year ago). I think this video is perfection. I am a 52 year old. I was a professional ballet dancer in my youth and so learned Bach (Scarlatti, Stravinsky, Hindemith etc. with a Balanchine company) with not only my ears but my body as well. Bach's prelude No. 10 has a quality of unreachable sadness, or melancholy, that stretches away from the listener. All our lives are filled with one kind of mechanized habit or another. Are they not? This guy here, well he's a spot on an assembly line, a cog in the machine, a life inside a box, a breath in concrete cave. And why? ...Vikingur is right. This is who he plays for. I've been in opera houses and stages all over the world full of awesome, wealthy patrons with white hair (like mine, now), and beautiful clothes. But that is not, perhaps, who needs Bach most. I feel this is a Paean to the warehouse man. and that is a right thing for it to be.
Mon Dieu que c'est touchant. Oui, pour beaucoup d'entre nous, la vie est emplie de solitude, de mélancolie, de tristesse, d'ennui. Envie d'oublier, envie de partir loin et ne plus revenir. Disparaître de nos vies dénuées de sens, de cette société froide, grise, laide. Merveilleuse interprétation.
I am still quite young, but many times I have felt tired of my life. I try to find meaningful connections, but society feels disconnected to me. A part of me just wants to quit the imaginary social construct we are all tied to. That is, a person must find friends and companions. But sometimes people make me feel more alone. And watching this video made me realize there is hope in exploring uncharted waters.
i know what you mean... i lead my life mostly solitary.. don't feel the connection with the unfair society i was born into. sometimes music is only things that seems to speaks to me and gives me comfort... all the best to u Ren.
Don’t just listen - play music yourself. You don’t have to perform at a professional level. Do it just for you. This may give you more of an outlet for your feelings.
"Listen, play, love, revere - and keep your yapper shut," Einstein said of Bach, whom he worshipped. This is probably the best I’ve ever seen on UA-cam so far. RESPECT.
A very romantic interpretation of a baroque piece; the purists will object but I really like this. "So long and thanks for all the fish", Douglas Adams.
FYI there's nothing for "purists" to be concerned about here -- it's not Bach or Baroque, it's an arrangement by A. Siloti which is unto itself inherently Romantic (cf. for example the pedal markings in Siloti's score).
Vikingur Ólafsson is definitely a deep thinker and an artist in music. I can feel his persistence and passion through his interviews and the way he translates his thoughts through his piano music. So beautiful. I was in art school for 10 years before I dived into the world of music. I love Bach, too. When I stumbled upon Vikingur’s NPR home concert, I immediately felt in love with it. All the videos are very thoughtfully done. They speak well for his music.
Víkingur can do no wrong, musically, in my eyes. The transcription and the video are perfection. The best concert pianist of the last 20 years, IMHO. Bravissimo!🎉😊
Viking, i love that a young man of your talent and accomplishment is bringing out the exquisite tender beauty that resides in bachs music. You are a gift to mankind, and have already greatly enriched my life with your work. Thank you.
A very, very well done art piece. Love the video and Vikingur’s playing. The video adds more depth to the music. You should do more video in such style. Love every bit of it. Bravo 👏🏻
It's seems to me that about ME. Very special modern interpritation as if It was wright today or may be yesterday in the evening, without TOO MUCH. Thank you!
Lovely piece. I've had this job before. Except working on an actual processing boat 100+ hours a week. Sorting salmon,gutting them,packing add to the fact its small quarters and you share a room with 8 other men. Tempers rise and personalities clash. All in the end you make a few bucks and a lot is taken for taxes. Never again.
Such an amazing song. I think the video could have been shot in beautiful church chapels with less close ups of fish. Regardless, I like the down to earth perspective. Jesus's disciples were a bunch of fisherman and down to earth guys who weren't up to the standards to be pharisees
This is the transcription for piano by Alexander Siloti of a piece originally composed by J.S.Bach for clavicembalo (this one ua-cam.com/video/BhbcT5r5sN0/v-deo.html ) To me sounds like an arrangement more than a transcription
I like authentic Bach, but to understand why this transcription try listening to the great Emil Gilels playing it in the Great Hall of the Moscow University. This is meltingly beautiful - just listen to the ethereal chords in the left hand - only a person without a soul would not be moved.
C'est très beau mais c'est une retranscription. C'est très mélancolique. Or tout ce que Bach a composé n'est jamais triste bien au contraire, même dans ses oeuvres liturgiques. Bach donne de l'espoir de la joie du bonheur mais jamais de la tristesse. Très bien interprété mais peut être trop mélancolique
Exquisite playing .Why does DG insist on superimposing these pointless visuals ?! We would prefer to just watch the pianist and concentrate on Bach .What has a fish factory got to do with anything? It was horrible
The man in the video, probably, wants to change life. The real sense of the fish factory is that the fish was a primordial symbol of Christianity shared with the life of Bach. Nothing is useless
Was this another video directed by Magnús Leifsson? I has his fingerprints all over it. Pretensious. Nothing to do with the music. And an obsession with people in rubber boots. As I said after watching his clip to accompany Vikingur's Bach-Stradal. He should find a different outlet for his cinematic talent -he would make an excellent clapper boy.

But life cannot be cold, grey and meaningless when there’s this in the world.
The famous "Fishmarket Prelude"
I am still quite young, but many times I have felt tired of my life. I try to find meaningful connections, but society feels disconnected to me. A part of me just wants to quit the imaginary social construct we are all tied to. That is, a person must find friends and companions. But sometimes people make me feel more alone.

We all got the connection, right? That's always the first thing I think of when listening to Bach's music. ;)
Love the bit where he stared at the fish 😂. Surreel. No one cod have made a batter video.
Викингур- потрясающий пианист современности. Я влюблена. Можно слушать бесконечно.))) ❤️❤️❤️
Звуки - полные чистые прозрачные капли. Ненавязчивая левая.
Прекрасное прочтение темы.
Спасибо вам за ваши удачные находки.❤
Это можно слушать вечно..... Великий Бах, великолепное исполнение!!!
C'est magnifique, j'ai ressenti une grande émotion, merci beaucoup pour ce moment.
The most beautiful interpretations of this!!!!!!!
Simple yet deeply effective. More works like this would be greatly appreciated.
Very very beautiful video!
Like me every day I go to work. Wonderful music
This video remains me one thing - live life! not just living... but be alive and live your best life.
Clear and sensuous interpretation of Bach. I love it.
Thanks for these wonderful music

Helt fantastisk! Man får lyst til å høre om og om og om igjen!
Love this prelude. It reflects very well tje everyday doing and suffering

BRAVO! FANTASTIC!
wow very emotional ... very touching !!

I truly love this prelude and the video < 3
heart sinking...
It's seems to me that about ME. Very special modern interpritation as if It was wright today or may be yesterday in the evening, without TOO MUCH. Thank you!
How sad that all the fish have to die. . . . such sublime music from a human mind, and juxtaposed with such thoughtless cruelty in this world.
I thought the same thing. What's next, Mozart sonatas amongst slaughtered chickens and cows?
Beautifully done sir! I am trying to find the sheet music for this. Can you post a link please? Thanks so much. Love your playing.
Genius
COOL
I think old Bach would be suitably impressed!
Robb Davies Yes I would indeed.
@@johannsebastianbach3411 LOL!

lol. smooth.
And 5 seconds after the video ends, he says his last goodbyes and jumps into the lake.😂😂😂
Ok, this is epic
How can I get the notes of this wonderful piece?
True live .
Pretty sure Bach stopped that guy from going postal at the fish factory...
Comfort for tormented souls.
2:21 😂😂😂the best part
I just cracked up laughing at the fish staring bit .
I so wanted the fish to say something :)
They're going to need a piano tuna for that
#stupidpuns

You can tuna fish but you can’t tuna piano
Wunderschön! Was soll die Fabrik?

Если честно, в повседневной жизни мы мало уделяем времени классике.

Nice but why a transcription of this prelude?
This is the transcription for piano by Alexander Siloti of a piece originally composed by J.S.Bach for clavicembalo (this one ua-cam.com/video/BhbcT5r5sN0/v-deo.html )

Bach donne de l'espoir de la joie du bonheur mais jamais de la tristesse. Très bien interprété mais peut être trop mélancolique
Sounds a lot like Grigory Sokolovs interpretation. And yes, that's a compliment
If disgruntled postal workers "go postal", what do disillusioned fish workers do?
They catfish people
Um. I don’t get it. What are we supposed to get out of this? Have I missed something?
It's an adaptation to modern taste
CTABPOGIN an adaption of what?
What you don't get is related to the sense of this video piece or is it more regarding the Bach arrangement?
“bach arrangement”
