Henry Purcell (1659-1695), Ground in C Minor Live performance by Vadim Chaimovich at the Richard Strauss Villa in the German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen #Purcell #Ground #Baroque #ClassicalMusic
It's me again, your favorite junkie, coming, for my regular dose. I want those baso continuo notes to kick my guts, and the right hand notes to drip on my nerves, soothing all anxiety. Bitter-sweet!
Fantastic interpretation , what an astonishing mastering of the articulation on the piano. Playing legato with the left hand whilst playing staccato with the right one and vice versa . You go to the center of the tone & sound ! You do honour to Purcell, great composer !
I got very disappointed when I was searching the partita and found out the original one is not like the one on video. This one seems an arrangement and it's a pity I can't find it anywhere Nice performance! I think everybody loves the intro like me
I've heard many versions of this piece and your interpretation is leaps and bounds beyond the rest. Your phrasing and nuance is amazing. Honestly, you make this sound like a completely different song. I now find it difficult to listen to others playing this piece as your interpretation is so beautiful.
I turn every two or three days and listen to this several times. I cannot have enough of it. I'd love to see the score of this transposition - it sounds better than any harpsichord or archlute, guitarrone, theorbo, you name it. It's on the same par with the jazz transposition with Jarousky on another Purcell classic: music for a while.
The real composer of this piece is William Croft (modelling himself on a piece by Purcell). It would be wonderful if pianists would explore his keyboard music too!
Indeed, and would be nice if Croft would be indicated for this piece on RU-vid. With all Purcell's masterpieces, it does not change anything to Purcell's glory to "lose" 1 ground (like Bach lost the attribution for some pieces) but add to make Croft a bit more "audible".
As far as I know, the main line (baso continuo and main theme) is written by Purcell, while the variations are by Croft. There's a lot of contradicting information on the net about this piece. I'd love to read some serious musicological / history of music clarification of the topic, elucidating editions, sources of confusions etc. etc. Maybe @EarlyMusicSources can help?
turning that figured base into a distinct, introductory and ending part, sounds almost like a jazz approach.... love your interpretation. Also, having the courage to hurry it up a bit...
Не помню кто сказал - музыка для нас имеет ценность настолько, несколько мы узнаем в ней интонации речи. В Ground в этом случае прослеживается диалог взрослого и ребёнка. Согласны ?
it's me again, to take my weekly dose of this realization (I understand that that's how renaissance players thought about the music, in relation to its score).😜
Ground in C minor, Z. D221 (William Croft, 1678-1727) is wrongly attributed to Henry Purcell, but they're different pieces. Croft based his ground on Purcell's (Z. T681) published as Éditions de Grounds (ca 1686). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZwGLEv6-ppg.html
Why not ? Provided that the pianist tries to respect the english baroque style, and don't play it with excessive rubato, romantic tremolos, low tempo... reversely, Astor Piazzolla on harpsichord by Mario Raskin is beautiful !!!😂 And this ground from William Croft, I play it on a lute and rendering is nice...
