Good comment. Harpsichordist (and Concertmaster) Pieter-Jan Belder played with a very deliberate, thoughtful and finely executed touch. Bravo to him and Bravi to this excellent ensemble.
I've thought Bach's harpischord suites were beautiful for the longest time. In recent years, I've come to love the Couperin suites. Now, I've discovered another lovely set of suites for that instrument. Thoroughly enjoy the stately quality of the music. Thank you, BC.
My reaction after 'Purcell: complete chamber music vol. 1 and 2' : Aaaaaaah, such beauty. Thanks interpretators and Briliant Classics from the Netherlands.
It would be virtually inconceivable that J.S. Bach ("the greatest composer who ever lived, by far" - Sir Andràs Schiff) would not have been familiar with the music of Henry Purcell. When people who knew or were introduced to W.A. Mozart called him a genius, either out of flattery or as a sincere compliment, Mozart (who was not especially known for his modesty) replied on at least one occasion that he would not have been able to excel at what he did were it not for the countless hours that he had spent studying the Masters who came before him. One would have to assume that the same mindset was held by Bach, who once walked 250 miles to hear Buxtehude play the organ. (Now THAT's what I call Dedication.)
Purcell was a genius who left us too ealy, as did Mozart later on. Nevertheless, he had time enough to leave to us a considerable amount od masterworks, in which chamber music is perhaps no prominent, but is of the highest quality. Especially astonishing are his youth "Fantasies", a very high baroque music chamber masterwork.
It is quite understandable that people often lament about what a pity it was that so many great composers died at an early age. Such kindhearted individuals would do well to add some historical perspective to their well-meaning sentiment by keeping in mind the fact that the Times during which those great men lived were very difficult and even arduous compared to the present era, even for individuals who held privileged positions in society or who were well-to-do. For most people, growing old is no Bed of Roses even today. Back then, however, it could really be a horror story, even for people of means. There were no government "safety nets" for the poor and the disadvantaged. Most of the sparse social welfare providers that did exist were maintained either by charitable or religious institutions. There was no plumbing or electricity. There were no antibiotics, no penicillin and nothing like the modern medical technical advances that we now take for granted such as X-rays, CT Scans, MRI's, EKG tests and the like. If you had to undergo surgery in those days the "anesthesia" consisted of four big strong guys holding you down while you lay on a table screaming in agony. The surgeon might not have even bothered to wash his hands before cutting you open without wearing a mask, gloves or a sterile surgical gown, while a gallery of medical students (also unmasked) wearing their regular attire looked on. Could it be that The Giants of Music did the marvelous things that they were put on earth to do and then were called Home?
Esto si es un genio musical, no como los babosos que tartamudean canciones repetitivas sin sentido que aparecen ahora por ahí. Excelente este Henry Purcell
Methinks that Domenico Scarlatti (b.1685) may have "latched onto something" after either hearing, playing or just reading the score of the Prelude to the "Suite No. 2 in G Minor, Z. 661" composed by Purcell (b.1659). Far-fetched? Probably. Possible? Maybe. Likely? What say you?

To my ears, the harpsichord used in these recordings is most delightful. A clear and delicate sound, even in the bass.
You ae fully right and as a continuo instrument, this is especially difficult to achieve.
Good comment. Harpsichordist (and Concertmaster) Pieter-Jan Belder played with a very deliberate, thoughtful and finely executed touch. Bravo to him and Bravi to this excellent ensemble.
How beautiful! He is the one of the greatest artists in classical music.
Plendid !!! It's 3a.m and still enjoying it
Thanks🎉
SPLENDID 🎉
@@philipmercer-wood971 It was 3 o'clock in the morning, mate. Give the guy a freakin' break, will ya'?
I've thought Bach's harpischord suites were beautiful for the longest time. In recent years, I've come to love the Couperin suites. Now, I've discovered another lovely set of suites for that instrument. Thoroughly enjoy the stately quality of the music. Thank you, BC.
A Surfeit of Riches, I'd say. Life is Good when you discover and cherish that which is Good.
My reaction after 'Purcell: complete chamber music vol. 1 and 2' : Aaaaaaah, such beauty. Thanks interpretators and Briliant Classics from the Netherlands.
You are very welcome! 😊
Poetisch, erfreulich , Dankeschön.
Люба моя. Генри Перселл! Какой ты великий!
Thank you for uploading of these unique barock jewels!
Baroque.
Great Music Forever !
Genio.
Maestro.
Patrimonio de la humanidad.
Quite remarkable. What noble depth. .
Solennità di una musica quieta. La tranquillità dell' animo si riverbera in un ritmo in apparenza monocorde.
So relaxing. Excellent quartets of Henry Purcell. Thanks for uploading.
Demasiada clase, el espíritu musical de la época se puede sentir; la huella de este genio es impresionante.
Es una exquisites....gracias
Un genio con gusto por la extravagante postura de no dejar que la época lo opaque 💀💀💀😸✍️
Fantastic
Purcell un de mes baroques préférés
Beautiful! ❤️❤️
🕊🌟🕊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
🙏💜🙏
💜🎵💜
Love the organ!
Gracias.
Beautiful. I wonder if Bach ever had a chance to read his music,..and what he thought.
He would've been exceptionally proud with him
It would be virtually inconceivable that J.S. Bach ("the greatest composer who ever lived, by far" - Sir Andràs Schiff) would not have been familiar with the music of Henry Purcell.
When people who knew or were introduced to W.A. Mozart called him a genius, either out of flattery or as a sincere compliment, Mozart (who was not especially known for his modesty) replied on at least one occasion that he would not have been able to excel at what he did were it not for the countless hours that he had spent studying the Masters who came before him.
One would have to assume that the same mindset was held by Bach, who once walked 250 miles to hear Buxtehude play the organ.
(Now THAT's what I call Dedication.)
Purcell was a genius who left us too ealy, as did Mozart later on. Nevertheless, he had time enough to leave to us a considerable amount od masterworks, in which chamber music is perhaps no prominent, but is of the highest quality. Especially astonishing are his youth "Fantasies", a very high baroque music chamber masterwork.
It is quite understandable that people often lament about what a pity it was that so many great composers died at an early age. Such kindhearted individuals would do well to add some historical perspective to their well-meaning sentiment by keeping in mind the fact that the Times during which those great men lived were very difficult and even arduous compared to the present era, even for individuals who held privileged positions in society or who were well-to-do.
For most people, growing old is no Bed of Roses even today. Back then, however, it could really be a horror story, even for people of means. There were no government "safety nets" for the poor and the disadvantaged. Most of the sparse social welfare providers that did exist were maintained either by charitable or religious institutions.
There was no plumbing or electricity. There were no antibiotics, no penicillin and nothing like the modern medical technical advances that we now take for granted such as X-rays, CT Scans, MRI's, EKG tests and the like. If you had to undergo surgery in those days the "anesthesia" consisted of four big strong guys holding you down while you lay on a table screaming in agony. The surgeon might not have even bothered to wash his hands before cutting you open without wearing a mask, gloves or a sterile surgical gown, while a gallery of medical students (also unmasked) wearing their regular attire looked on.
Could it be that The Giants of Music did the marvelous things that they were put on earth to do and then were called Home?
Esto si es un genio musical, no como los babosos que tartamudean canciones repetitivas sin sentido que aparecen ahora por ahí.
Excelente este Henry Purcell
Este genio murio con 36 años, nos pudo haber dejado una obra insuperable.
很棒喔👍👍
I love you to the classical music
Exactly!
"'Our music' is available for licensing"? surely you mean Mr. Purcell's music..
Methinks that Domenico Scarlatti (b.1685) may have "latched onto something" after either hearing, playing or just reading the score of the Prelude to the "Suite No. 2 in G Minor, Z. 661" composed by Purcell (b.1659).
Far-fetched? Probably. Possible? Maybe. Likely? What say you?
great
Real Orpheus Britannicus...
