THIS is what you call "breathing" - such a human, noble, and elevating interpretation on each one. Being French, I've always almost automatically drawn a connection between Edith Piaf's lilting and melodic inspiration and - Couperin. As for KH's playing, you don't get any closer to the summit - this is "illumination".
Very inspiring and beautiful! I personally really like the quality of the video/audio, it sounds like the instrument is in the room with me - as opposed to the inorganic and confusing sound one gets from stuffing microphones right inside the instrument, which is seen in most "broadcast quality" videos.
Thank you very much for these inspiring words! Well - in trying to 'not make a TV program, but rather concentrate on playing precious music decently and uncluttered, instead', I set up the Leica M240 with classic, prime lenses ...no zooming.. no ultra wide-angle ... no nonsense ... and doing the audio separately through the Zoom device-and-its-kit-microphone, tweaking in a 'miniscule' reverb, as to retain the room more-or-less-as-is! I am very happy indeed that you appreciate such qualities - as this underlines the aim of what I try to accomplish, myself. This music is so beautiful and immortal - we are only 'small vehicles' in the grand scale of things. The least we can do is not to blur it by heaping on cheap distractions...! :-)))
Beautiful, languid playing which is ideal for the noble and suave French harpsichord. Many years ago I got a recording of your playing Marchand which I still play on a semi regular basis. Thanks for sharing your playing of these preludes.
Good sound! Can You describe your harpsicord: he sound is deep, sorry for my english. I'm french and try Nex year to learn harpsicord: Couperin is my favorite music
It’s such a great video! May I repost your channel to the platform named Gan Jing World which is full of clean and valuable videos? I will keep your videos as is for sure. Thank you!
I am the "which" - the year was 1971 - it was my first instrument "from scratch" (- having finished a French Double Hubbard kit the previous year). It is a "late-flemish", "Dulckenish" instrument, if you will - was exceedingly inspired by Martin Skowroneck's working ethos of "kapieren statt kopieren", but obviously, along totally correct and sound historical underpinnings. I hope you like it.... 🙂
Magnifique interprétation sur un instrument splendide !
Thank you Maestro for this precious gift. To me this is the most enchanting performance of these little jewels. Thank you very much
Perfect old claret. Heaven.
Heart -rending, yes, and also so heart-warming. How I imagine this music. I know no better understanding of these preludes.
Thank you 🙏🏻 lovely music 😊
Wundervoll! Das Spielen von rechts vor links habe noch nie so delikat und häufig benutzt gehört - sehr anregend. Danke Ketil.
Heartrending at times. Wonderful playing.
Terrific musicmaking! Bravo!

Muy linda interpretacion de Couperin en un bello instrumento!

Gracious thanks for you wonderful compliment - of course, you may share this on your suggested platform - I would feel most honored!!
which maker is the harpsichord and year?
