Beautiful playing on a majestic instrument. Goble did justice to the original 1740 Hass harpsichord. Gosh, that 16 ft on that final cadence in the first movement! ❤❤❤
I had only previously heard the Overture played on piano. What a revelation to hear it played on this harpsichord! Miles better! So complex and rich! Thank you for this performance!!
It's a good point. I've sampled harpsichords before and it takes a LONG time to do it properly, so it'd be a labour of love. In this case there wasn't the opportunity, before it went off to a new owner. But for the next one...
@@robinbigwood Hauptwerk has many dozens of organ sample libraries to choose from, while there are only 10 or so harpsichords available, and only 2 of them (Mietke replica and Pigalle instrument in Edition Beurmann) have several stops and full keyboard range F-F making them suitable for CPE Bach's music, for example, who used high F very often. The sample library of such unique 3-manual monster would be a bestseller in its class both in possibilities and in superb tone quality, especially with such little competition :) so it's an idea worth thinking of.
This is a copy, essentially, of Puyana's instrument. From memory, 16ft (with buff), front 8, back 8 (with buff), lute 8, 4, 2. If you haven't seen it already check out the 'documentary' at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r-YSM4SPcYw.html which has the maker talking in some detail about the disposition, and some shots of the registers, jacks and stringing.
No wonder I've read that Trevor Pinnock chose a Hass harpsichord(*) for playing the Concert champêtre by Poulenc, although I have yet to hear the recording. This would be a close cousin to the elite family of historic harpsichords that were chosen as inspiration for the Pleyel revival harpsichords for which the work was written. (*)Not this particular one, since it wasn't finished yet.
Beautiful!! Incredible talent........I shouldn't comment about this but....wow. in the close up at 0:38 I could see Gene Wilder back in 1971...Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. LOL Sorry.
