      @@sutefuanu Chiara Massini is very good, but I don't like the way she cuts off the notes at the end of some of the phases. And the drama she gives is not the as dramatic. I prefer the way Karl differentiates the soft and loud passages. Robert Hill is another one I love for this piece but gives a very different interpretation than either Massini or Richter, but yet achieves high drama by use of momentum (I am talking about the recording he did in 2000 for haenssler CLASSIC.

      Johann Sebastian Bach Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in d minor, BWV 903, Marco Mencoboni,
      For a general information: in the mid of the 20th century, there was a revival of the harpsichord (as well as other music-instruments from the Baroque-era) for performing Baroque music. The first models were heavily-constructed, had external pedals like in a piano (for changing registers and doubling them) and had strong metallic sound which could compete the piano in concert-halls, due to the materials of the inner components - these were the non-authentic (like those made by "De Blaise" company, for ex.). At around the 70' of the 20th century, musicians began to demand authentic sound of the Baroque-era which were lighter and more gentle (though - less strong) and builders began to reconstruct authentic instruments, based upon original historic models.

    Some here are discussing whether this instrument is an "authentic" harpsichord. It is an interesting question if it gets to capturing the essence of Bach's intention in the music. I am not a musicologist, but I will share what I believe to be true.
    * There were different styles of harpsichord in the 17th century, some with one keyboard, others with two keyboards. Pedals were provided with some of the instruments to give access to an added set of strings
    * Bach had expressed that he loved the clavichord, which is a precursor of the piano. The clavichord allows volume control because the strings are struck rather than plucked. But clavichords were very soft in volume, so they could not be used in concert
    * Bach as a rule did not specify what instrument should be used to perform a piece, so he would have been OK if this and other keyboard pieces were played on clavichord or harpsichord
    * One could think that Bach might have relished the futher development of soundboards and key action that led to the piano. The clavichord allowed more expressiveness than the harpsichord but was too soft for public performance. So if early pianos were available to Bach (which they were not) would he have written a "Well-Tempered Piano" or its equivalent? Would he have enjoyed playing the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue on a piano, or even on an enhanced harpsichord? Bach was an explorer in many ways, as this piece and the 4th Brandenburgh Concerto 1st movement show. He even wrote a Catholic Mass and it was one of the last pieces he worked on. So who can say with certainty that the modernized harpsichord is "wrong" with a composer who loved challenges and new ways of expressing?
    So what I am trying to point to, with the above, is that an "inauthentic" harpsichord may be in keeping with the spirit of Bach's musical intention, and in the end what matters is finding the best way to express the essence of the music. Each performer can do so with a range of choices of instrument, although I would not imagine, for example, playing this piece on the organ

    Thanks, Tom---I certainly agree. Now that I've had a chance to hear this performance again, I'm afraid I find it lacking. Richter's reputation precedes him, of course . . . which is why it is with disappointment that I point to the rushing of the early portion of the Fantasia, and the too-great difference between the two registers there. The tempi seem more calculated to accommodate his ability or state of preparation, from one minute to the next, rather than to an overarching scheme that would bring the whole together as a single statement. In the Fugue, by contrast, I can't easily tell the difference between the two registers, which makes me wonder how he decided when to use each.
    Helma Elsner's recorded performance might be my favorite; Landowska's is of course unique. She cannot in any event be accused of rushing thoughtlessly through any piece of music, including this one; on the contrary she relishes every moment of it. Why Richter should seem to be thinking that he has better things to do with his time is a complete mystery to me . . .

      @@OldPannonian Bach's sound and instrument choices for music involved very deep, arguably darker notes. Some required a bass that required 2 or more people to operate just to get the notes right. It has been a debate among many metalheads if Bach was in a modern age with the instruments of say the 80s or 90s, if his sound direction would've evolved into metal or if he'd have stuck with more traditional sounds of those eras.
      I can see it, personally, but I also think it would've popularized melodic metal, rather than let many popular forms of metal people know today that rely on trill, djent or other techniques that really don't translate into other instruments.

      There is no pedal on harpsichord, but seems to be "registers" as on organs (according to wiki) in order to 'modify' sounds.

    • @gijsschubert7901
      @gijsschubert7901 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Until 3:05 the two registers are coupled: you see the keys of the top one moving with the bottom one. The top is clearly softer, and at 3:10 he has decoupled the two: when he plays the bottom keys, the top ones do not move. So effectively he has 3 different "sounds" available: bottom+top, bottom, top

      I noticed that in the beginning and in the end of the fugue can be seen the back of the pedal set: I suppose he used the feet for either coupling/uncoupling the manuals or adding/removing stops.

      The performance practice of the Baroque period considered the use of the picardy third to be somewhat up to performer's discretion. I can assure you he didn't miss it, he deliberately chose to play a d minor chord.

      I really must object. It is clear to me from a lifetime of listening to Bach (primarily) and other Baroque music that the composer determines major and minor and those choices are respected without question. I would be happy to look at your sources -- but never have I heard a performance of this or most other musics in which the last chord was arbitrarily altered, as if it were a mere decision of ornament.

    各演奏家が真剣に演奏している事は、間違いが無い。しかし、半音階的幻想曲とフーガでの、リヒターの突き詰めた演奏は、ピッチの問題や楽器の問題を越えている。音色の変えすぎる問題も越える。ロマンティックと言うよりも。リヒターのバッハへの思いが僭越過ぎて、その面ではリラックスしていても良いと感じる。音階のレガートがきつ過ぎる事も気にならない。誰もここまで集中した演奏はしていないのだ。しかし、言わせてもらう。技術面で弱いと感じる、チェンバロの演奏も多いのである。お指ヘナヘナという事だ。

    Too many HIP harpsichords are MONOCHROMATIC. They have one sound, and it often is unpleasant. Bach may have loved modern harpsichords for all we know. The authenticity crowd can believe what they like, just stop being self righteous about it. Also keep in mind - the best selling recordings of Bach keyboard music and Scarlatti Sonatas are the ones by pianists. Abandon the rigid dogmatism once and for all!

    • @mirko9072

      Certo che Richter era in possesso di una grande tecnica. Infatti è stato l'ultimo allievo di Karl Straube, a 14 anni, che è stato amico e dedicatario della maggioranza dei lavori organistici di Max Reger. Forse lei non sa che per suonare alcuni lavori di Reger (tra cui la Fantasia Sinfonica e Fuga in Re minore op. 57, la Variazioni e Fuga su un tema originale op. 73 o le grandi Fanstasie sui Corali luterani, bisogna esercitarsi anche dalle 6 alle 8 ore al giorno e possedere anche una tecnica pianistica.
      Leggendo diverse biografie su Karl Richter ho appreso che già a 14 anni era assistente di Rudolf Mauersberger a Dresda e già prima di diventare Thomasorganist a 23 anni (nel mezzo intanto Richter fu prigioniero di guerra e dovette interrompere gli studi per oltre un anno) suonava sempre a memoria (compreso il repertorio romantico, in particolare lavori di Reger).
      I grandi virtuosi barocchi invece, propongono nei loro concerti anche lavori organistici del '500 e del '600 che anche chi non è diplomato in organo riesce ad eseguire.
