no it can't, viruses are dead to start with, and cannot be killed!!

@@christopherswainson371 Yes, remember you can kill two birds with one stone and you can also kill a bill in Congress. Don’t forget that you can kill time, and I am particularly effective at killing all of the house plants in my home within 6 months from their arrival. BUT -- you cannot kill crab grass. Viruses are not like other life so it depends on how you define life. If it exists outside of a host for a short period, then ceases to exist, one could argue that it was alive and then was dead (or not alive). I enjoyed our little chat. I wish we could have talked over a cup of good coffee.

An eternally profound, mystical piece that sounds the limitless expanse of the entire universe..... and an interpretation to match that profundity. Bach's Chromatic Fantasy is to the world of music what Einstein's mathematics are to the world of Science, and Marco's interpretation shows an extraordinary grasp of that envergure. A million thanks for doing this, very, very few interpretations (and believe me I have recorded a few over the years) achieve the scope of what Maestro Mencoboni does here. Grazie!!!!

Yours is a poetically incisive, verbal analysis that mirrors the profound essence of Bach’s music and the sensitivity of Mencoboni’s performance. Bravo!

I love the way he takes off his hands of the keyboard. So musical. Drastic moves, the rhythm is beautiful.

@Geopholus 4 года назад

Wonderful performance. I love it when a performer insists on perfection, including a glorious Harpsichord which is perfectly tuned. Here i find the freedom of expression in the Fantasia entirely appropriate!

A showcase of equal temperation along with BWV 906, in which one of the boldest JSB`s fugues remained unfinished challenging musicians to this day :)

@user-fu7zf4ck9z Год назад

The 906 fugue is one of the finest fugues bach ever wrote

@herrickinman9303 3 месяца назад

"Equal temperation"? You mean _equal temperament._ However, Bach did not tune his keyboards in equal temperament. Nor did anyone else in his time. He used a system of tuning known as _well temperament._ A temperament is a tuning system that slightly compromises the pure intervals of just intonation to meet other requirements. All keyboard tuning systems, including equal temperament, are out of tune. Why? Because you can't play enharmonics on a keyboard. Unlike keyboard instruments, singers and string plays can play enharmonics on the fly.

The Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor, BWV 903, is a work for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach probably composed it during his time in Köthen from 1717 to 1723. The piece was already regarded as a unique masterpiece during his lifetime.

@Egill2011 3 месяца назад

Best pieces were written in Köthen. As a Lutheran, Bach was not religiously employed in this Calvinist province so he could concentrate on secular music. I do not very often listen to Bach's chorales.

@markhughes7927 4 года назад

The phrasing, the rhythmic separation, and overall panache of this man is such that he makes Bach palatable to those who normally shy away from him as interminably involved in inner workings. If I was not a fly I would suggest this man as the foremost talent - up there with Rosalind T.

Très jolie caresse des touches juste avant d’attaquer la Fantaisie. C’est d’ailleurs une des seules fois où Mencoboni regarde les claviers! Impressionnant...

@andrewsappel 4 года назад

How successfully he captures to effect of searching and improvisation in this performance. I have never heard him play anything that doesn't offer me something as a fellow performer and though I might not play it THAT WAY, I am always enriched by his way. There are too many details here to say how many and why I like this so much...but he appeals to the drama, tradition and spontaneity of this canonic work. Thank you Mencoboni. (PS, there are two thumbs down up here and my question to you is...what is the problem with your brain? It is either ego and jealousy or simply not musical enough to recognize how fine a performance you are hearing.).

Bravo!!!! Thanks for this beautiful upload. However, I feel that the instrument itself is too 'young', as if it is not 'tamed' enough. Maybe it will take some time for him to cope with this great piece by Bach and render himself to your mind, spirit, wishes, fingers, wonderful interpretation and unique performance.

What is the age of consent for a harpsichord?

@wolkowy1 4 года назад

@@davidklein5007 I really don't know, that is why I was cautious and said "Maybe"'. However, I heard many performances by Marco Mencoboni on various instruments, and their resonance was rich and not 'dry', so I assumed it is a matter of (again, maybe) wood-aging (? like good old wine?), unless it depends on the specific wood used for this instrument/other inner ingredients/specific harpsichord's type (?) - I wish an expert and excellent performer like Mr. Mencoboni, will clear this point for us - viewers and listeners.

@davidklein5007 4 года назад

It sounded alright to me. But I'm used to the Wanda Landowska version anyway, on the Pleyel with the 16' register. Marco does such a great job, though, that I can forget my beloved Wanda for a while. :) She is probably less authentic, but her organ-like sound blows me away.

@wolkowy1 4 года назад

@@davidklein5007 I completely agree with you about Marco Mencoboni's wonderful performances (included this one) and myself love - side by side - Landowska's interpretations, even though on a non-historical harpsichord. I myself had Pleyel when I was a young student (and it was many many years ago...:) and after that, I had a Flemish-French historical-replica instrument, made by a British maker. Myself I prefer the authentic sound, but there is a place for all tastes, as long as there is a good musicality and musicians like both of them.

@davidklein5007 4 года назад

Agreed- Most of the time I want the authentic sound. But Wanda was extraordinary!

Ma per interpretare in maniera corretta Bach, dal punto di vista filologico, è indispensabile fare i versi e le smorfie ? Tutti, ma dico tutti, gli specialisti della musica barocca contemporanei (direttori, clavicembalisti, organisti, orchestrali o cantanti) si muovono e fanno smorfie ridicole. I grandi interpreti degli anni '60 o '70, come Backhaus, von Karajan, Karl Richter o Karl Boehm si esibivano senza lasciarsi andare a simili show.
