  • Pianist Daria van den Bercken fell in love with the baroque keyboard music of George Frideric Handel. Now, she aims to ignite this passion in others. In this talk, she plays us through the emotional roller coaster of his music - while sailing with her piano through the air, driving it down the street, and of course playing on the stage.

    She loves the music in ways that people can't understand. She wants to share its beauty with others and touch their hearts through music. She played so beautifully.

    And the precision of the notes too... Especially the trills

    I loved the message in this talk. I find when sharing my music people often dismiss it immediately because it's of a certain genre. They don't even listen to the song before they make a judgement and make their judgement solely on the genre, and these judgements stems from the opinions of the media and other people. I like the way it's put in this video "to listen without prejudice". We try not to show prejudice in our daily lives especially towards people, but if you can't even do that to music or art then to what extent do you not show it to people? Are we only not showing prejudice to people because it's the norm or because we truly believe that? Do you like this piece of music because of something about it in particular or just because the media tells you it's "good"? Do all your opinions just stem from what others tell you? The thought worries me...

    I dont know what it was about that music, but it really moved me, such a beautiful piece. I was in awe, wondering how it was possible that such wonderful and powerful music had eluded me until now...

    To be honest there is a very fine line when it come to motivation of playing music, there's playing to express and share the emotions and expriences of music and then there is just boosting your ego.

    Daria van den Berken magical music on the street, on her apartment in Amsterdam or in a Concert Hall, is the best and most extraordinary tribute to classical music and George Frederic Handel... A true delight to the ears...!

    I understand and agree with what Daria says about the receptiveness of children. One day an unknown man entered our classroom at convent school, and Sister Mary Anne Joseph told us he had come to play for us. I was 8 or 9 years old. He opened the lid of the rather battered, out-of-tune piano that stood in the corner and played Georg Frideric Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith" variations. I was spellbound and have been ever since. Bless that unknown man for opening my mind and heart to so much beauty, and bless Sister Mary Anne Joseph for having asked him into our classroom!

    In the beginning, it would have been nice to have had actual audio of her playing on the trailer, and in the air.

  • @FelixScottJr
    @FelixScottJr 9 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    She is a fine interpreter of the music who no doubt has realized that it does not have much of an audience anymore. So after all of those thousands of hours of practice and playing to the wall she is taking her music to listeners with these stunts. Now let my children hear music. Children would be more receptive to this. Modern adults would rather hear simple music and lyrics with a good strong backbeat.

    • @CappyPaxton
      @CappyPaxton 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not disagreeing with you, adding; I personally love it. Grew up with the music of Handel. I'm deep in my 6th decade. I still love it. Folks that give it a chance will love it. There were a few classical's that promoted music to young adults. I'm please she is following suit. One more thing ... her level of proficiency is such that she could play much more than Handel. I am thinking she is not in it for the money.

    That which she describes as 'energetic' is heard as stressinducing in my brain. Everyone's different I know, but I vastly prefer melancholic (for me felaxing) music like that of Vadim Kiselev.

  • @FelixScottJr
    @FelixScottJr 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    She is very passionate and apparently wealthy enough to pull off these stunts. Most really great musicians are too poor to even afford to buy a good quality piano, manuscript paper and pencils. Music comes to us without filters. Talking comes to us based on our own personal biases as well as the biases of the speaker(s).

    How can one expect that people with very disstorted superficial taste,modern day people could recognize the value of eternal music?Education is on very low level and I agree that something has to be done very seriously with the education...In the western world is the situation worst then in an eastern part of the World and Europe,where people struggled over decades and found releas of their problems in listening or interpreting classical music.That is why Russia,Bulgaria or Romania have more very talented musicians and huge public than whole western World in the last 3 or 4 decades.Because despite real material poverty they turned to inner self...In innerself there is nothing like Madonna,Metallica or other cheep products to be sell to ignorant public...

    ...... "Or some jazzy music" wtf if you cant remember the names of the authors of one jazz piece the how are you going to play it ..? there is a lot of talking about prejudice in this conference and suddenly she blurts out "some jazzy music" in a condescending manner she just demeaned jazz by not having the slightest respect

    • @Xemptuous
      @Xemptuous 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      she named Beethoven and Bach which are more well known to people than a jazz artist. These musicians have and will be remembered for all history. They are of more importance and significance to music and its capabilities than jazz

    • @Kougeru
      @Kougeru 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Not really. She might've means "real" jazz. Original jazz music was improvised and was based purely on the emotions of the people playing it at that very moment. Most of that obviously had no name and often no recording.
