I wish everyone who clicked on this video the most love, peace and abundance. You’re so much closer than you realize. I love you

This is sublime. Unlike so many performers who seem to want to prove to the listener how brilliant they are, Yuan Sheng seems to want to show the listener how brilliant Bach is; in doing the latter, he also proves without doubt the former. It is magical. Every note is delicate, meaningful; perfect. Thank you for sharing this 🙂

Life's worth living to be able to listen to this.

Bach is the Mona Lisa , isn't he? He sounds like tinkling water , effortless

Beauty is eternal, love is folly. Bach tells us that we must love beauty and not love itself. Bach saved my day. Bach helped me to live. Thank you for this upload.🌞

The French Suites are six and was composed by Bach for harpsichord and clavichord, between 1722 and 1725. The French title serves to differentiate them from the Italian style. They are masterpieces of harmony, delicacy and grace that only an amazing composer like Bach would have written. The pianist is fabulous, not only for the sensibility he interprets the pieces but also for the fantastic technique he demonstrates in their execution and magnificent cadence he uses. Thanks for this wonderful performance and recording.

This is my first contact with Yuan Sheng. He is a young Chinese pianist, with studies in China, Manhattan, and advanced training under the renowned Bach interpreter Rosalyn Tureck . From Tureck he has perfected a crystalline, intellectual, sober approach to Bach. His style has some echoes of Glenn Gould in the schematic, architectonic, unsentimental playing. He reminds me of Alfred Brendel in the intellectual weight of his playing, being his sound very different. His sense of tempo seems to me supernatural. I believe Yuan Sheng will become in the very near future one of the most respected names in the world in interpreting Bach. He has already recorded the 24 preludes of Chopin and given concerts in several countries. Thanks Brilliant Classics for uploading this music and introducing us to this remarkable musician

Reading the comments on Bach music is a rich experience.

It is very glorious that Bach had been born in this world. He is a genius for everything.

Чудесное исполнение! Я слушаю рано утром и чувствую как мой организм просыпается и правильно настраивается. Какое чудо!

Listening to this whilst reading fairytale stories is perfect. I LOVE IT

The French Suites are six suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1722 and 1725. A suite is a group of dances. 300 years later... And we are still admiring the genius of Bach....

The diversity of Bach music is unfathomable and immeasurable Bach is a fertile and sober and spiritual rich Land This is a great gift to Bach lovers Bach`s music is full of joys and sorrows , glory and solemnity of the human world

I wasn't aware that Bach made a French Suites and I couldn't imagine it being played better 👏

Too much beauty, I have to step away.

Mr Yuan Sheng is a piano professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. He is undoubtedly the best known and maybe the only Bach pianist of China. Unfortunately, with YouTube blocked for access by the the government in that country, Mr Sheng himself cannot see any of these heart-warming comments on his Bach music!

thank you so much for this service. I am having a chaotic day, and the order and beauty of this music is just what I need.
