I can’t believe this is free content! So glad I found your channel. I especially enjoyed the analysis before the performance, as it adds so much more meaning to the piece when I know what to actively listen for!
Really like this channel. Nice hearing lots of composers that I haven't heard about. I noticed that you haven't uploaded anything by Scarlatti, though, which seems to me like it would be very ordinairy for harpsichord players. Why is this?
I'm happy you like the channel! There is one Scarlatti performance (see link below) :-) In general, I tend to explore lesser-known composers, so that's one reason you don't see as much Scarlatti (or Handel). The other reason is that I feel the character of my instrument doesn't always suit Scarlatti's music -- I think Scarlatti requires a more "extrovert" sound (for lack of a better word). th-cam.com/video/SeMg3HtUcP4/w-d-xo.html
Dear John - I wonder if you've tried Albero's music? I find it well-constructed and very Spanish. I've recorded a lot of it on the piano; I'm sure it would go as well (or better) on harpsichord.
i would love to make a recommendation (as a I remembered now lol) about a certain manuscript by Johann Kuhnau. of course i am indeed talking about the manuscript of "Musicalische Vorstellung einiger biblischer Historien", as to my surprise the manuscript and some arrangements of it are up on imslp! I think Mr. Kuhnau is a very interesting composer, even though he was a polymath on his time. imslp.org/wiki/Musicalische_Vorstellung_einiger_biblischer_Historien_(Kuhnau%2C_Johann) He of course wrote 2 books of equally fascinating Pieces for the Clavicembalo, the books being named "Neue Clavier-Übung, Erster Theil"
I've been meaning to look into some of his music, so thank you for letting me know this is on imslp! But I think I figured it out now: every time you post a link from imslp, youtube makes your comment invisible. I mean, I can see it, but I don't think anyone else can... :-)

Excellent! 👏🏼 By the way, do you find prelude+fugue 8 from WTK1 interesting? Wd love to hear your thoughts about it!
That's one of my favorite prelude and fugue pair! Thank you for your suggestion, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for a future project!

I haven't played any of his music, but thank you for the suggestion -- I'll check his music out!
