Bach, Toccata & Fugue in D Minor BWV 565, harpsichord Fernando Cordella | BACH BRAZIL 

I'm always amazed at the wide range of talent of Johnny Depp.

The way he turned the page at 2:46 was just so epic.

my recommended is filled with harpsichord videos and i love it

The unique sound of the harpsichord always fascinated me. I specifically searched to see if anyone had played it on harpsichord as I thought it’d sound good. Not disappointed, works extremely well.

Wow that harpsichord sounds amazing, amazing playing too

when it drops down and goes back sends chills up and down my back and it's in a minor

Best I've ever seen... and I've seen a lot.

The way he made it sound legato is just stunning!!!! Greetings from Leipzig ❤

This is incredible. For a piece that is normally only brought to life to its fullest extent on a pipe organ, this is a fantastic interpretation for harpsichord and I'm honestly kind of surprised how well it worked here, but being particularly partial to the timbre of the harpsichord... I'm just that much more enthralled with it. Excellent, excellent playing and production!

A brilliant arrangement and hearing it on a harpsichord is wonderful

Wow... simply out of this world...thank you so much for giving us a glimpse about the way it should have been heard by Bach himself 300 hundred years ago... I doubt he was expending that much money in a real organ but hiring instead a low pay assistant who may have helped him to write down his extraordinary prelude and fugue in d minor using a harpsichord...at his home...Great!!! Thank you!!! Inspiring!!

For me this is The Rock and roll of Classic music!!!! 🤘🏼 🎹

Only someone who truly understands Bach's spirit could have performed toccata & fugue in such an exquisite way.

Bach 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mammma Mia! Dio cosa meravigliosa.

some slick ornamentations/improv phrases! love it

Man.... Awesome cover of this classic..... One of the most difficult pieces of JS Bach..... and that too on the harpsichord, which is a rare instrument in 2023...... Really enjoyed this gem of a performance.....

I love this so much! You're so talented and brilliant, I can't stop listening to this...

masterful...complete understanding of the work.

Wow.... that was a pleasure!

Espetacular . Cordella arrasando como sempre . Nunca tinha ouvido essa peça num cravo . Sequer sabia que isso era possível. Parabéns

Bravissimo! Maravilhoso arranjo e execução! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Magnífica interpretação. Que encontro de felicidade única! Bach sempre emociona e toca no mais fundo da alma. Mas executado por um artista com tamanha sensibilidade e capacidade de mergulhar nesse delírio de sonoridades e de alcançar tamanha fusão com a obra, simplesmente revive, é como se estivesse tocando aqui e agora, e o resultado é de arrepiar. Impossível conter a emoção e as lágrimas diante de tal beleza. Parabéns e muito obrigado pelo privilégio de poder compartilhar desta preciosidade.

Bravo ! Bela transcrição, execução! E que instrumento de sonoridade bonita!

Que lindo Fernando!!!!! De arrepiar a alma, muito obrigado❤️💕💓 Cada vez mais apaixonados pela tua música 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ive never heard this played on the harpsichord before. It sounds great!

Magneficient!

I am amazed at how great this work sounds on a harpsichord! It's like a fresh powerful breeze.

Brutally beautiful...

Bellísima interpretación, me dejo sin palabras.

Surreal!!

You are awesome!

Adoro o cravo e amo Bach!!

Bravo

i must say i am impressed , you adapted the song really well on the harpsichord by delaying cords and modifying it a bit , it feels really good

I cheered at the end! You brought life to this piece, magnificent !

Interesting arrangement and great sound/playing. Thanks for uploading this!

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

Powerful - loved it. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing

I think it actually sounds better on harpsichord

I judt love dit song and especially on da harpsichord

There's a theory making the rounds that Bach actually wrote this piece for the harpsichord rather than the organ. I don't know if this is true or not, but this video certainly proves that it could have worked on the harpsichord.

Muito bom!

What a masterpiece!!

Bravo, meu cravista favorito👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️!! Esse arranjo deu trabalho né? As soluções que encontraste em algumas passagens complicadas de adaptação ficaram geniais!

Amazing!

Maravilhoso!!!

Fino señores 🧐🍷

Interesting alternative to the organ version. Richard in Dallas

Brilliant 2:48

MARVELOUS !!! 😃😃😇😇😍😍😍🤌🤌👏👏👏👍👍👍😍

From the 2:49 mark to the 4:00 mark is some of the best music ever created.

I love harpsichord but listening to this cover, i realised why it’s forgotten. It can fill all the emotions that organ has, it can’t play long notes. However i still think harpsichord is amazing and i wish it would be more popular

Minha peça predileta!!!!! Primeira vez a vendo ser tocada em um cravo... espetacular!!!!

this maestro must have put a whole lot of effort to make it sound so effortless

Damn! Other than listening to well played sitar music, I got smoke coming out of my head listening your playing of Bach!! Not that I'll ever play any keyboard instrument to your level, but I appreciated the camera filming most of your finger movements. I didn't think some of those sequences were humanly possible!

Sensacional!!

Que maravilla 😍 esprecioso....

Very well played and what a beautiful sound. Congratulations.

Que orgulho deste canal , sem palavras .

yeahhhhhhhh!

start listening from: 2:48

Amazing performance! 👏✨

I'm amazed! So unexpected and brilliant!

👏👏👏👏🎼

Esplêndido!

i’m so in love woOW … fantastically splendid 👏🏽… 💖✨🐬

Bravooo !!! 💐🎉👏👏👏👏👏💖🇨🇱

Incredible

I need this version on my spotify

Got curious about how this would sound after listening to a piano version. I like this, it still keeps the eerie feeling, but I still think it sounds best on a pipe organ.

bravissimo!

Nice

No órgão é divino. Mas ficou maravilhoso no cravo também 😊❤

Otimo. Beleza.

By the way any plan to upload BWV 538 too? Another of my favorite :)

❤

Alguien que tenga la partitura para clavicémbalo o que sepa que adaptación, les agradecería mucho que me lo dijeran.

Inscrição mais fácil em anos.

This was so amazing that i shat mine britches. I soiled my wig.

I've heard this composition by many forms of instruments but never done by a harpsichord. an organ yeah a violin yeah and many bands or groups and last but least Vanessa Mae with her violin.😊

Foi escrita para órgão .

Me recuerda s mis hermanos gemelos. que no se prrdian el programa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here because the soundtrack for the Gauntlet game series borrows a lot from this piece. I can especially hear it during the opening to Fugue.

Bach makes me believe in God. As a side note, bow ties are cool.

Oh by the way the harpsichord is plucked and not hit by hammers like a piano.😊

2:48

Excuisit ❤

is anyone else thinking johnny depp playing harpsichord?...

???

Olá! Uma curiosidade de uma leiga, esse instrumento é o cravo? Fico grata.

Gemaplys tocando cravo? 🤨🥶🥶🥶🥶

Some pieces make more sense played on certain instruments. This is one.

Его там бедного не укачало, так трясся на трех нотах.

Semeja mas a buxtehude que a bach.

Very good, too bad for the exaggerated rests.

Hahaha, that's too much.

Well done, Sr. Cordella, but it would have been better if you'd more consistently subordinate your ornamentation to the all-important melodic line and its supporting harmonies rather than ornamenting more for effect than for ideational substance. Your execution is flawless. Rather, your interpretation would benefit more from remembering that Bach's keyboard music is as strongly influenced by his choral and vocal solo writing as it is by his virtuosic instrumental writing, and thereby emphasizing each melodic line and contrapuntal chordal passage as kindred to his inimitable style of vocal soloists intertwining with choral passages and effects, rather than just distracting ornamental pyrotechnics. Continued Best of Good Fortune in developing your mastery of the baroque in general and of Bach in particular.

is there a version of it that's not over-ornamented? it's brilliant but way too much perfume - divine geometry is fading away
