I was having a hard time in life and when I listened to this, tears started to fall off. I don’t know why, but I kind of feel how hard Bach’s life could have be.

I recommended this channel to all my friends. One of the best high quality sources of Bach recordings.

Thanks to the great Cinematographers and Audio Engineers

Rare to see such fine performances of Bach coupled with cinematography like this. Just sub'd & I look forward to exploring more!

The inscription on the harpsichord is "Musica Laetitia Comes Medicina Dolorum" - Music is happiness as medicine for our sorrows......very true

A majestic fugue magisterially performed.

I'm a pianist, but I usually get bored listening to Bach on the modern piano. Still Bach is my favorite composer. This performance on the Harpsichord just bring Bach back to live!! Thank you ^_^

Similar case with me. I do lately come to Harpsichrsord when studying Bach work, it feels authentic. And this kind of inégale is difficult to do.

Unfortunately I sometimes get the same feeling. Theres incredibly small differences in pianoforte recordings, everyone plays in the same beautiful but mechanical and tedious manner, and extremely few really take advantage of the expressive potential of the piano, without it becoming romantic. It's like they copy harpsichord players without bringing out the expressiveness that are in the music, so you might as well listen to harpsichord and organ. I sometimes search for piano recordings of Bach works I know well, but all I usually get is someone trying to play like a harpsichord, just too fast

Tatiana Nikolayeva, Rosalyn Tureck, Emil Gilels are all pianists who play Bach on the modern piano and make it sound perfect without over romanticizing their interpretations. They also don't play too fast most of the times. Nowaways its become harder to find "slower" Bach on modern piano, but there's a looot of excellent recordings from the 20th century

This is a much warmer sounding harpsichord than is played in the other pieces earlier in this series (e.g. BWV 854-856). All masterfully played and a real joy from the sharing thereof.

Göttlich! So ein schönen Kanal. Alles über das Genie J. S. Bach 💖

Definitely one of my favorites from both books. How I wish I could try this on a harpsichord myself...

I like this interpretation. It brings out the development of rhythmic motifs inherent in Bach's work.

Bello vedere ed ascoltare tutti i magnifici interpreti e le loro versioni su Bach, intelligente lavoro di gruppo molto democratico

A really lovely-sounding instrument, beautifully played. 👍 ❤️

Thanks Pieter for showing us how J.S. Bach can be played in a most authentic, stylish and expressive way (and without indulging at all in that recent over-rubato over-flexible almost-unmeasured way that is becoming so common lately). A masterly performance indeed, an example for us all.

Beauty itself: everything! - the prelude and fugue, the performance and the sound of the instrument.

Simplicidade, beleza e sofisticação, são dessas qualidades que o mundo precisa, e é o que eu encontro nessa peça.

Well at least the Flemish Harpsichords that didn't have paintings, decorated with papers, and weren't redecorated after petit or grand ravalement often had Latin Mottos. English, Saxon, Austrian, French, Italian, and 18th Century Harpsichords from the Low Countries didn't in general feature this decoration.

Mooi gespeeld Pieter! Bedankt om up te loaden.

Sehr schön!

An impeccable performance and a very pleasant harpsichord tone, though the range is somewhat narrow - G-D instead of "standard" F-F . This makes it impossible to perform on this instrument the works of CPE Bach (who used the upper F in almost every keyboard piece of his). On the other hand, both volumes of WTC with all their wealth of various moods and forms strictly fit into 4 octaves, allowing to perform this cycle even on the most humble of instruments. An amazing feat only a genius could create.

F-F was surely not "standard" in Bach's time. If F-F was standard, then why did Bach have to transpose his harpsichord arrangements of his own string concertos down a whole step for performance at the Leipzig Collegium Musicum concerts in the 1730s? Bach ran a harpsichord rental business; if F-F was standard, surely he must have several F-F harpsichords he could have used for the concerts. While there are some Bach keyboard works that go below the great C, none go above c3 (i.e., 2 octaves above middle c).

@@herrickinman9303 "The traditional pitch range for a 5-octave instrument is F1-F6 (FF-f‴)", that's what Wiki says. This applies at least to French instruments - looking at the scores of Rameau and Couperin and many other French we see that they loved the rumble of low bass :^) Transpositions are an interesting issue that could be connected to temperation and tuning pitch - Bach's famous equal temperation did not become THE standard all at once. Handel, for example, had his reasons to reject it (so with him we see only tonalities not exceeding 4 sharps or flats). So we might say that F-F was the standard compass for big concert instruments (even Mozart did not go beyond that range in his concerti) and G-D for most harpsichords likely to be found at home, typical for Handel's pieces.

The translation of the inscription on the back of the lid is: Musica Laetitiae comes Medicina dolorum Music Companion of joy Medicine of sorrows

​@The Red Pill Thank you for your concern. I'm aware of the recent studies that claim that there is no safe limit. But another side to this is that there is evidence that "Light to moderate drinking is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease". Drinking alcohol in moderation appears to reduce insulin resistance, fighting the main symptoms of diabetes. In fact, red wine is linked to more health benefits than any other alcoholic beverage I had about 1 and 1/2 glass's of red wine last night over a 3 hour period and this was my first drink in about 6 days. I have seen what alcohol can do and for some people and it is very destructive. But for me - I think I have an ok balance with the so called toxin in my life. Again thank you for your concern.

What a deep contrst between y this prelude and fugue in F minor from WT1 and its counterpart in WT2! Many piano lovres play - or at lesat try to play- WT2, with eloquent prelude, its parallel sixths and play betwwen the two hands, na d its quite exuberant fugue which looks like a fugue thet Mozart will wtrite later on for strings or two pianos the theme is qiute typical of many fugues in minor mode, linking a perfect minor chord to a dyminished seventh one), ans the intimacy and total interiority of this prelude and fugue here in WT1 !

Hmmmm, lovely performance. But I just forgot that not all harpsichords have the "switched" color configuration like the period fortepiano.

Beautiful.

Wunderschön! Danke!❤👍❤

Excellent playing....I noticed a bit of ‘notes inégales’ here which I thoroughly applaud. Also, the tempo wasn’t Allegro vivace con brio, which anytime there are sixteenth notes or faster the usual virtuoso/show-off performer plays at breakneck speed until the notes all became a wash of sound. So kudos on the bravery of performing this piece your way!

musica, comes laetitiae, medicina doloris--true enough

Ist sehr gut

FAB !!!

In his brilliant lecture no5 (The 20th Century Crisis) from the 6 part Unanswered Question Lecture Series; Bernstein uses this fugue as an example pre20th Century use of near Tone Row configuration.

Excellent!! I’m actually starting to prefer Bach on the harpsichord rather than the piano.

Maybe because the music was written for nothing else than a harpsichord and Bach made it sound good for this instrument and for nothing else (except maybe the organ).

@syourke3

5 жыл бұрын

DAOFB This music is very effective on harpsichord and organ because it does not require dynamic range at all. It’s multilinear music. The intricacy of the musical pattern requires only two dimensions: pitch and time. It does not require dynamic contrast and dynamic variation to be effective. A piano adds a third dimension - dynamic range, very soft to very loud - which gives music a sense of depth, but because the voices in this music are all of equal value, dynamic contrast is unnecessary.

Is there a need to hold the long notes on harpsichords?..

@simonvaliente2039

Kind of. AFAIK, as you cannot really do big dynamics as you can do on the modern pianoforte, you can stress the importance of a note by holding it (more or less) slightly longer

The thing about the whole harpsichord and piano thing is, I think you can of course play them on both. But when you are talking about what Bach had in mind. I know Bach likes the evenness of voices and the sound of the harpsichord. I just think Bach would have wrote different pieces had he owned a modern Steinway piano.

For period performances, we typically observe A=415 for music of this era. So, you're technically correct if you're thinking in terms of A=440.

That's a common problem for people born with ears tuned to A440. This instrument is apparently tuned to French chamber pitch aka Tief Kammerton.

Note nette e pulite ogni una di esse assume un valore di estrema bellezza, l'unione di esse in euritmia rappresentano l'infi ito sulla terra.

This is what a German was when god was still the ideal we aspired to.

Quite nice. Though some registral contrast WITHIN each piece would have been good.

Harpsichords have that chunky sound. Noice

I would be slightly disturbed, as a performer, I suppose, by the sumptuousness of the instrument´s visual embellishments. ... but then that’s only my superficial self.

Three thumbs down from J S Bach should only be played on the Steinway Piano (and they don't like the harpsichord) people.
