I feel that there is something paradoxical in cutting off some of the video (multiple times) to inform us that this is the only Landowska's footage and some other stuff. But maybe it's just my impression.

Extraordinary woman. Did she really say "You play Bach your way; I'll play him his way."? It certainly sounds the sort of thing that she would have said.

You like preserving music, don't you?

Узнал о ее существовании из фильма ,,Математик и черт" экранизации новеллы Артура Порджеса .

Diego Ares plays with this clawed hand.

Excepcional Wanda.❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It is wonderful to see this, but it is a shame to have her interrupted by lengthy text messages, which could have been put in all at the beginning or the end, no?

Talented player, awful instrument.

I was delighted to see this but extremely annoyed with the written highlights interrupting her performance. Same the commentary for the end.

Quase não mostram ela tocando!! Não gostei

boykissing bach lovers, where are you at in my life?

Thank you so much for showing these recordings. Landowska was the first lady of the harpsichord, and one of the main reasons that we hear harpsichords played today. I studied THE WELL TEMPERED CLAVIER with her RCA recordings in college, and I found a treasured copy of her RCA album, A TREASURY OF GREAT HARPSICHORD MUSIC. I am a fan.

Необычная у неё техника игры

Her interpretation of Bach has inspired me since I was a kid, so happy to see footage of her actually playing :D She is my favorite musician to listen to play Bach

Tremende tutte le interruzioni!!

A big thank you to the eBay seller that posted the whole song in FLAC. A true class act who loves good quality audio!

Creo que es primera que interprto en clavecin en público. 💐

Just the right touch of lung cancer!

Funny to compare her hand position to that of Horowitz.

When I was a young boy I spent years not learning how to play the piano because Thompson's Method and Anchors away my boys did not motivate me. Might I have felt differently had instead my childrerers tempted me with Ms. Landowska's music as a goal to which to aspire? I surely would never have got to the goal but I might have tried? I was 7 years old in 1953. Too young, I guess they figured, for anything above my age level (when other boys enjoyed pummeling each other with their still growing little fists). Tenebae mentium tenebra orbis.

Me quitaron el traductor 😔

“ThE 0nlÿ Kn0Wn f00tAge of WAnda PLAYING MUST WATCH!!” 75% of the video: a black screen with text

Wonderful

Now there seem to be several more clips of Wanda Landowska, on YT, including one i thought i remembered (yes indeed it happened) of her playing italian Concerto. Yes isn't it ridiculous to cover much of the "only remaining clips" with text cards??? I remember seeing her on TV, in the 1960's (probably an old film), I think being interviewed by a pretty young, yet still obnoxious and snide William F. Buckley, who if I remember was a great champion of Landowska, harpsichord, and Baroque music, and also (founder?) of WQXR radio, and also I believe it or not a frequent contributor/partisan on debates broadcast on WBAI, Pacifica radio in NYC.

I believe that Wand Landowska appears in the 1939 version of Wuthering Heights, playing Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca on a harpsichord.

One of the best Bach performers along with Helmut Walcha and Ralph Kirkpatrick.

Stupendo video ! Grazie ! <3

1:27 Wanda Landowska always filled the room with the magnificent sound of her famous Pleyel harpsichord, too bad the film is interrupted by the title cards. But still a wonderful performance. Thank you, tehee, for this Reupload, it was sadly removed last year but now its back!

I am glad this snippet was posted on TH-cam, but it is spoiled by the lengthy printed intertitles. Since we have so little film of her playing, why obscure major portions of it with printed text? This performance was part of a filmed interview with Landowska conducted by her producer, John Pfeiffer. (This clip was the opening of the film; towards the end of it, you can see Mr. Pfeiffer approaching the harpsichord to begin the conversation.) I had the opportunity to see the entire interview on film at one of the harpsichord festivals mounted by the wonderful harpsichordist Frances Cole at Westminster Choir College in the early 1970s. One would think a copy of that film must still exist somewhere.

No one knows how Bach was spirited. since he has been dead as a door nail for a few centuries. From the things we do know about him it kinda seems as if he was an ill tempered bittered hot-head. But no one knows for sure since he is as dead as can be. Yes I agree. Landowska her performance is very joyous. But that doesnt take away that it is 100% inauthentic and that it has very little to do with baroque music. What landowska is offering is an empty canvas. It is just the bald plain notes. It lacks the picture/painting and especially the highlights and details ... both of which are essential and very important. Not to mention the grotesque sound of her so called "harpsichord". I do not blame her though..... in her day and age that is all people had and she had to deal with. They didnt knew better in the 50s I like listening to her sometimes.... as a curiosity. And i do have a lot of respect for her for being a pioneer. She was of huge importance.
