Beautiful performance, Olga. I only wish I could see your hands. In the running passages towards the end do you favour historical fingerings (i.e. paired fingers for scales) or do you use a more thumb-oriented modern technique?
Olga seems too little known outside the Netherlands - perhaps they love her too much and try to hide her! I think these static one-camera videos which are most of hers with no shots of her hands really sell her short. Yet the sound and photography for the Soler Fandango video (the one with the trains behind!) are the best I have ever seen for a harpsichord. Quite jolting. That one video shows just how remarkable she is. Also she talks well in one version. I just saw Tine Thing Hesseth at Carnegie Hall and after she was done with 2 concertos she took the microphone and explained something, and she apparently does that now after all performances. (She also had bare feet! A golden gown and bare feet. Audience loved that also.) By the way the most searched Scarlatti piece I believe is his Fandango. Might she...?!

Thank you! I do trend to use historical fingerings indeed, at least not using the thumb :)
