Whaou ! Quelle finesse et quelle justesse d'interprétation malgré la difficulté du morceau et le tempo choisi ! Toute la subtilité nécessaire à cette extraordinaire composition du Cantor de Leipzig. De la dentelle, vous dis-je !

Jean Rondeau literally transcends Bach with a rare musical sense. It seems as if he "domesticates" the time of the note in a whirlwind that takes you to the heights while being rigorous. It is above all his power of transmission which is impressive with all the musical qualities that accompany them. Thank you for this video !

La si remarquable interprétation de Jean Rondeau nous place directement dans la réelle et vivante dimension musicale de l'auteur qui a composé cette oeuvre : un certain Jean-Sébastien Bach.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! CAN'T STOP HEARING IT!!!!!!

"Soli Deo Gloria" for this heavenly music.. Bach used to right that sentence in latin on his all composition "Soli Deo Gloria" what means for the Glory of God .. And like him of corse I confirm that; all the Glory to God in Jesus Christ

This is the first thing I ever heard Jean play and I never ever tire of it. Fast, yes - but brilliant.

Monsieur Rondeau est magnifique! La Fantaisie de Bach est une pièce incroyablement difficile.

Music in paradise? Good title.

Love the little subtle parts he added in

Love it. This guy is a master on harpsichord Richard in Dallas

Beautiful men, beautiful music, beautiful life!

Quelle maitrise ! Du fait qu'on entend chaque note distinctement au clavecin, on ressent encore plus la difficulté de la pièce, la polyphonie et la parfaite indépendance des voix. Remarquable.

Holy Smokes.... that was amazing!

I can imagine Bach playing this at his house to entertain his wife and kids. Certainly the most "fun" piece he has written for harpsichord.

A showcase piece, along with Chromatic fantasia/fugue, to promote equal temperation that allows such modulations and harmonies.

La sutileza de Jean Rondeau a la hora de tocar el clave es tan grande y magistral que incluso una pieza llena de fuerza y hasta de "violencia" como esta parece fluir de sus dedos con un apenas roce de las teclas, como si estas estuvieran esperando ansiosas a que sus dedos se posen sobre ellas para lanzar toda su energía. Grande Jean, grande Bach...

Baroque is brought on a whole new level here. Great job !

...except that piece is probably the least Baroque thing J.S. ever wrote. It's like Bach, Mozart and Piazzolla wrote a piece together.

M. Rondeau est un claveciniste incroyable.

He makes it sing, despite the complexity of the piece, brilliantly brought out...inspiring, Jean Rondeau, yet again!

A very dramatic piece. I think that the Tempo is correct and it reminds me Richter on piano. Rondeau is a great performer.

Wonderful performance. This is totally influenced by Scarlatti, from the structure, to the hand crossings and athleticism, but brought to perfection by the master. It’s curious why he didn’t complete the accompanying fugue. Did he feel an Italianate “Sonata” structure was incongruous with a Germanic fugue? That’s been my supposition.

Gould always played on the piano, so he can't be brought up as a person to emulate on the harpsichord. I personally dislike harpsichord music played on the piano and 10 times dislike Gould playing harpsichord music on the piano. When I was 17 and didn't know any better, I started to listen to the Well Tempered Klavier played by Gould and gave up after about 3 or 4 of them in utter horror! I had the same reaction when I tried to listen to him playing Beethoven's Piano Sonatas. Many decades later I got in my car and the classical music station I was listening too was in the middle of a Beethoven Sonata. After a few minutes I said to myself "That's the worst performance of that sonata I've ever heard". At the end the announcer revealed in was Gould, so my opinion hadn't changed in over 40 years!

I don't understand why he's playing it in b minor? Is that something to do with it being a harpsichord? I've seen the same on another harpsichord video and I'm confused, why has it not then been transcribed to sound the same on piano?

@soifege5925

It's played in a different tuning than the one on piano. A = 415 Hz is usually used in harpsichord performances of baroque music, which is half a step lower than the modern A = 440 Hz tuning.

Please write down how each string sounds separately. Open these .wav files for free access. To home any person on the computer to play on the MIDI keyboard with such an excellent sound. To record each string separately for 10 seconds will result in approximately 10 minutes of personal time spent. I take care of the rest of the sound processing. You just need to find a good microphone and a computer for recording and that's it. Send me a file in which the sound of individual strings I cut into separate files and process the equalizers and as a result a ready-made digital musical instrument.

Milou has said it well. Especially important is the sound after you release the note, which in addition to the plectrum noise is a different level of sympathetic vibration of all the strings depending on how long you held the note. Worse, there is a different sound from the sympathethic vibrations of strings for each possible combination of notes, which is impossible, afaik, to replicate in sample ilibraries. I have used many, but compared to a real harpsichord, there is no comoarison.

Dear Brother Jean, I know every Bach note that it's necessary to play, what's going to 33 turns in a minute goes to 45 and 78 turns. You certainly see and hear and you are faster than every average person, but I see it and I hear it on average, so the Bah you performed for me has lost all the beauty. There are so many notes that I can not hear and enjoy in them because you are short of them. Simply too vigorous with errors in tone reduction. I do not know what others would say, but this is my best wishes for you. You're not a robot, are you? You are not?

Gould has the tempo.

There's no doubt he's a virtuoso; however, Bach intends his instrumental music to sing (he was himself a singer) and this tempo is too frantic and misses the poetry.

Fast is OK - I'm only saying that TOO fast impairs the articulation of some pieces and can make them incoherent. I admire this musician very much and the other performances I've heard by him are really of a very high quality. There are quite a few marvellous harpsichordists coming out of France nowadays - one of the slightly older generation that I like is Blandine Verlet.

@KerimWirthSuperLps

Mike Keyes That is just a personal supposition that you have. We are basically not capable of knowing the perfect tempo we should approach - in first place because there are no recordings and secondarily since tempo was a very subjective topic back in those days. And it still is according to music from the baroque period. Especially Bach's compositions have the ability to sound beautiful in every tempo, as long as the performance fits as a whole, or at least mostly. There are always contrary examples. So, it definetely is useless to talk about taste when it comes to music. One might like it more poetic, but the other rather furious or hectic. There is such a wide variety in tastes and I think that is beautiful.

It betrays a deficiency of musicianship - a lack of understanding of the music. I doubt Bach played at such blurring speeds.

TOO FAST Do you have a train to catch M. Rondeau ? Because you seemed to have abandonned the melody for the train.

This is totally dreadful, all I can hear is the “knitting” the melodic line is totally covered by the percussive nature of the instrument. The whole thing was muscled out from start to finish, he is a great musician but the choices here are all wrong.
