Bravo!! Beautiful instrument and finally a musician that plays music in the "Cantabile"style that JS BAch stressed!! Somewhere is Heaven JS Bach is smiling and saying :"Good" For as we all know, "Good" = Awesome to Bach and "Accepatable" was actually "Great".
Such a wonderful performance! After first hearing it, I just had to hear it again. And I'll be back. Wonderful piece, certainly, but I've been following H. Proosdij's playing for years, and it's always so superbly musical. Thank you!
Wow absolutely sublime interpretation ! And what a great piece jesus ! it deserves the name of "L'Harmonieuse" or "The Harmonious" in english, these little section from 3:29 to 3:43 is eargasmic
Superbly played Hanneke - thank you. It’s so very similar to a lovely piece by JS Bach, it makes me wonder whether one inspired the other, either way fanstastic
Prachtig gespeeld! Als amateur zal ik nog flink moeten oefenen voordat ik Dandrieu, Couperin en Rameau oa. werkelijk aandurf. Maar zoals men zegt: oefening baart kunst!
What type or style of this harpsichord is Hanneke playing on? A French, Italian, or German Harpsichord? And is the pitch on this instrument tuned to A = 432 Hz, or A = 415 Hz?
French. It's a replica of a 17th century Flemish instrument by Ruckers that was modified by Goujon to suit French tastes. Tuned extra low to A392 for 18th century French music
Ihab Awad Sometimes there are a lot of trills marked, sometimes very few, but you can always add your own trills to taste. Most of the accidentals are clearly marked--in comparison to renaissance music, where you have to add accidentals--but sometimes you will need to interpret how long an accidental lasts, and sometimes you will need to correct or add accidentals.
