You only need the first two notes and you know that this is WONDERFUL Bach.


Rony, what is your "bitch" with Ophélies playing? I do not need always a "hysterically" correct reading or the virtuoso showing off everything they can.
What I like about her playing is the feeling that she is simply singing a song like a child - very innocent and not solving an equation or carving a statue in marble. Especially the Gavotte (a folk dance originally from France) gets a special character with her reading (and probably heritage). Yes, this is foot tapping music for me - a breath of fresh air, sweet scent of spring. Bravo.
Maybe her pulling the tits and ass card bothers you because it makes her seem less serious? It is a strange world that we live in with the Nigel Kennedys......................
