Magnificent! One of the best performances of the WTC that I've ever heard - over even more of the 50 years mentioned below. Please don't hide these gems in You Tube. Make a recording and let the world know who you are!

[rolandgreuzat]

interprétation d'une remarquable élégance.... et le Fazioli quel magnifique piano

[petermacander]

Amazing world class talent. Superb dynamism, phrasing, expressiveness, and flawless, virtuosic technique at the service of the music, all performed from memory. Marta Czech understands Bach and music. BRAVO!

[DorothyDolenc]

Exquisite interpretation. Thank you for sharing.

[jamesculnan]

After listening to Bach's WTC over the course of the last 50 years, I am extremely happy to discover these superb performances. What a splendid musician, with such musical intelligence. Wonderful.

[randyroten]

Having myself played, with limited technique, a bare few of these epochal works, the art and joy of this performance opens my ears to how transcendental they are.

[fazergazer]

Listening to this performance makes one say “ah…I understand now”❤

Słuchając tego wykonania, człowiek mówi: „aha...teraz rozumiem”

[akanatsouli]

Your interpretation Marta highlights your personality and causes infinite admiration in Greece.

Jede Ihrer Bach-Interpretationen wiegt die schlechten Nachrichten des Tages bei weitem auf. Wenn Gott ein so begnadetes Wesen wie Sie erschaffen hat, kann es um diese Welt nicht so schlecht bestellt sein.

[thomasm]

I have been listening to these Preludes and Fugues since long before Marta was born, but her wonderful performance makes it seem as if I am discovering this exquisite music for the first time. I have never heard the voices of the fugues so clearly defined by any other pianist.

[M.Skalba]

On desert island I would listen to Sviatoslav Richter, but now I appreciate fortunately Marta Czech performance :)

[DorothyDolenc]

Maravilhosamente executada!Uma pianista extremamente sensível, com uma técnica perfeita. Obrigada pelo prazer que nos compartiu.

[kodebruijn]

that a human being is capable of this surprises me. Incredible! Divine. She is must be to the piano!

[antoniooliveto]

Bravissima la pianista, una vera eccellenza della musica, non c'è che dire

[santiagodeloscaballeros]

❤Bravo, et mille mercis Marta, du fond de mon cœur pour ce magnifique cadeau. Votre interprétation de ces pièces du grand Bach est absolument fantastique. Votre profonde connaissance de l'œuvre et la variété des nuances très sensibles de votre jeu alliées au merveilleux son du Fazioli et de l'excellente prise de son font de votre interprétation celle que je préfère dorénavant et cela parmi tant d'autres, y inclues celles d'interprète devenues des légendes, tels G. Gould, E. Fischer, S. Richter...💖

Das WTK ist eine Sammlung unsterblicher Themen . Ihnen könnte es gelingen, diese ins 21. Jahrhundert zu tragen, auf einem herausragenden Instrument unserer Zeit. Auf Bachs Instrument, dem Cembalo, wäre dies kaum möglich. Die meisten Zeitgenossen können sich unter einem Harpsicord/Clavecin/Cembalo überhaupt nichts mehr vorstellen. Ein Grund mehr für mich, auch wieder mehr am Cembalo zu studieren. Mit Ihrem Fazioli haben Sie natürlich die besseren Chancen, diese große Musik einem breiten Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Viel Erfolg und Freude dabei!
