I listen as the melody, disguised as the bass line, sings out in “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”. It has been a while since I’ve heard someone interpret this piece the way I think Bach intended. I have heard many famed classical pianists over the years--Evgeny Kissim, Jon Kimura Parker, Louis Lortie, to name a few. After all these, my brother is still one of my favourite classical pianists. I am treated to a rare mini-concert, now limited to once or twice yearly family gatherings.
