About "J.S. Bach: Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 No. 1" by Daniel Barenboim
Bach’s C-major prelude, that ubiquitous stream of arpeggios, here becomes a meditation on order and serenity. Barenboim plays with unforced clarity, each note a drop of water in a still pond. The calm is absolute—yet beneath the regularity, a quiet pulse of human breath.
