OF THE MANY MUSICIANS WHO PLAY THIS ROYER PIECE, MARCO HAS THE VERY BEST INTERPRETATION BECAUSE HE ALLOWS SUFFICIENT TIME WITHOUT RUSHING THE MOVEMENT BEYOND IT´S OWN NATURAL CHARACTER. BRAVO MARCO !
La più magistrale delle interpretazioni che ho ascoltato fino a adesso. Tempi e agogiche perfetti. Spesso per il gusto di accelerare i tempi si perde la potenza espressiva di questo pezzo, e anche il suo effetto virtuosistico.
MARCO DEMONSTRATES THE BEST RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT OF ALL THE MANY PLAYERS TO TRY TO PERFORM THIS PIECE. HE MAKES MUSIC OUT OF WHICH OTHERS JUST MAKE LOTS OF NOTES. THE STRUCTURE IS EVIDENT IN HIS PLAING. SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS
I’ve always appreciated your tempo selection on the more “fiery” pieces (like this Royer masterpiece). You always seem to pick the best tempo for the room that you’re in, so it doesn’t all seem muddled by the reverb. -Many other performers just go as fast as they can, and end up sounding like mush. Bravo! This is now one of my most favorite performances of Scythes! Fantastic setting, excellent sound design, and beautiful instrument.
Marco plays this absolutely fantastic! He's the best harpsichord player, in my opinion, such passion unbelievable the Best! I wish he'd play a concert in UK an make a CD! play on Marco play on 🥳🎆
Hypnotic piece as is Vertigo . One of the wonders of the French Baroque ! A fine tempo here that allows for freedom & keeps the intensity.Heard J.Rondeau in this and was not pleased by his metrics . Here one really hears it all !
This is the first performance of "La Marche des Scythes" that I ever heard, and I am very very glad that that's true, because it is so incredibly REAL and ALIVE sounding. It is authentic, but not stiff....Marco Mencoboni is simply amazing...what a treasure!
Pura arte dionisiaca - un'interpretazione assolutamente impeccabile, con un livello tale di eccellenza tecnica e una ricchezza d'espressività che mi continuano a far tornare ad ascoltare questo pezzo. La coppia Royer-Mencoboni è insuperabile
Per puro caso sono capitato su Pancrace Royer , questo pezzo tratto dall'opera sua Zaira mi intrigava: l'ho ascoltato dalle mani del Maestro Mencoboni e, alle prime note, sono saltato sulla sedia: Ma questo è Leonhard !! . Poi, letta la biografia di questo nostro straordinario musicista, ho capito : quattro anni passati a Amsterdam col grande maestro austriaco hanno lasciato la loro traccia. Gustav Leonhard Ho avuto il privilegio di ascorlo due volte : nel chiostro di Santo Spirito a Firenze e nella Cappella protestante del palazzo di Charles de Lorraine a Bruxelles. Celestiale, irripetibile esperienza.
Marvelous interpretation, sound, instrument, acoustics and recording, and interesting personality in Marco Mencoboni ! I discovered the pieces with William Christie's recording. Those two are my favorite ones.
Wonderfully macabre, I will listen to it tonight when sat in my cowl I watch the frost rings form around the moon high above the graveyard where the old Abbe is buried.
Bravissimo! great piece and perfect interpretation and performance. Not only you've brought the harpsichord to its extreem bounderies of technical capacity with this virtuoso piece, but you have found the way to show the piece's inner hidden profound meaning: by slowing a bit the tempo, stressing cerain places and other ways of expression.
I could not agree more. I hear mastery in this performance. Finding the inner spirit behind the notes. It feels effortless while it has so much power that goes beyond technical showmanship. It feels really great to see a musician so comfortable with a song. And yes I feel it is a song as it sings to me ;)
Someone mentioned on a much faster interpretation it was "muddy." Not knowing the piece i understand what you mean. There is so much to be heard and plenty fast. Rushing through it just makes so much noise you dont hear those special things you talk about. Maybe its my violist ear that has trouble hearing past the more metallic/plectrum sound. Sometimes thats all i hear when played too fast on right with clanking bass on the left.
Not going to lie I enjoy the mannerizisms of playing just as much as the music 🎶 that must be why it sounds so fabulous he is literally putting 110% into the music pouring himself into it. Awesome job keep it up
@@EugeneOneguine pas d'accord. La salle dans laquelle le clavecin est installé apporte une réverbération supplémentaires qui enrichie beaucoup l'interprétation
This piece reminds me of the story behind Tartini's violin sonata. Royer must have heard the devil play this in a dream, and he must have been so impressed that Royer woke up and furiously wrote down what he could remember.
I fell to the whirring scythe on the first assault by the chariot’s wheel boss - it didn’t end my life - but then I got trodden on by an elephant - that did it!
to my mind, it only makes sense as an ancillary piece to that of Rameau of the same title. If I am right about that, such literature could be called 'secondary'. I far prefer the 'original', but then I dislike ( read 'abominate and detest') music concerned (read 'conceited') with its own cleverness.
Please write down how each string sounds separately. Open these .wav files for free access. To home any person on the computer to play on the MIDI keyboard with such an excellent sound. To record each string separately for 10 seconds will result in approximately 10 minutes of personal time spent. I take care of the rest of the sound processing. You just need to find a good microphone and a computer for recording and that's it. Send me a file in which the sound of individual strings I cut into separate files and process the equalizers and as a result a ready-made digital musical instrument.
Scythes, not Scytes. The Scythians were a nomadic people living in the plains north of the Black Sea. So what you hear is not drunken soldiers but the clatter of horses' hooves thundering across the steppe.
Interprétation dont le tempo me semble plus conforme à celui, supposé, de l'époque, mais avec une prise de son beaucoup moins valorisante que celle, à mon goût parfaite, d'une production autre plus récente.
The technique is solid and pleasing to see. The accuracy is perfect. The musicianship is very deep. The instruments are good. The videos are well done in splendid spaces. Unless he is like Helmut Walcha, blind from birth, I cannot understand the utterly grotesque affectation he does with his face. His facial antics ruin every video for me. If he is blind, then I apologize and admire his considerable musical accomplishment.
Is it me or is this how not to do a recording? All I hear is a horrible jumble of echoes which mar the music. The room looks to me rather inappropriate for this type of recording. Something is definitely wrong with this recording to my ears.
The most abominable sound take I've ever heard in my life, and probably ever will. I can hear the echo more than the harpsichord itself. It's a total disgrace. My brother is a sound engineer, that would make his skin crawl.
OF THE MANY MUSICIANS WHO PLAY THIS ROYER PIECE, MARCO HAS THE VERY BEST INTERPRETATION BECAUSE HE ALLOWS SUFFICIENT TIME WITHOUT RUSHING THE MOVEMENT BEYOND IT´S OWN NATURAL CHARACTER. BRAVO MARCO !
One of a few occasions when caps lock is warranted :)
What do you mean by "natural character", Royer himself said that the performer was free to play at the tempo he wants.
I do agree. The musician mustlisyen to what je is playong. Royer did not tell to vive soup
YOU ARE RIGHT
La più magistrale delle interpretazioni che ho ascoltato fino a adesso. Tempi e agogiche perfetti. Spesso per il gusto di accelerare i tempi si perde la potenza espressiva di questo pezzo, e anche il suo effetto virtuosistico.
This is the best I have ever heard! He really makes it march!
Indeed! It is the BEST version!
@@luuktorn I think Rondeau's is more dynamic. A matter of personal choice, that is.
@@nothingisreal6816 Yeah, Rondeau's performance is also great, but a bit too fast for me.

No need to yell
Perfection!! Pancrace Royer wrote the piece so that it is played exactly like this....Bravo maestro
wow that harpsichord is so beautiful.....also everything this guy plays turns to gold

Pezzo meraviglioso meravigliosamente eseguito. Lo strumento è davvero notevole, una cascata di suoni poderosi e cristallini.

Obviously, you have never heard Jean Rondeau playing harpsichord ... I pity you with empathy ... ♥

This piece is so fantastic. The virtuosity and energy are incredible. And this interpretation only reinforces it!
Самая убедительная интерпретация.с чувством, толком,расстановкой.
Marvelous interpretation, sound, instrument, acoustics and recording, and interesting personality in Marco Mencoboni ! I discovered the pieces with William Christie's recording. Those two are my favorite ones.
Glorious piece! Glorious playing! Thank you!
Wow, you can really tell he's jamming - so into it.
Never trust a musician who sits still and/or uses sheet music in live performance.
They're reptiles
I fully agree: this is the right "March Tempo". Mencoboni is for me a great discovery and a source of deep inspiration.
Thank you Maestro!
Samuele
Sfido io! É stato uno degli allievi prediletti di Gustav Leonhard a Amsterdam.
Increíble!!!!!!!!!! Me dejó boquiabierta!!!!!!!!!!! Mi admiración es desde las visceras, bravo!!!!
Es un temazo
My favorite interpretation!
Thank you Marco.
I can give you a link with my favourite interpretation of Marché des Scythes :th-cam.com/video/mC5dDlmtrZs/w-d-xo.html
I like how he is enjoying exactly like me this piece while he is playing 😂❤❤❤
I'm amazed by each one of your performances. A rare master of the art of harpsichord.
Simply extraordinary. I never fail to be stunned by the brilliance of the piece and this performance. Thank you so much.
With this, one could easily imagine that one was listening to a great organ.
It does sound almost organ like. It suites the piece well, in my opinion.
Wonderfully macabre, I will listen to it tonight when sat in my cowl I watch the frost rings form around the moon high above the graveyard where the old Abbe is buried.

Amazingly brilliant ! He makes it alive !! Thanks for this wonderful interpretation !

I wish I could buy Mr. Mencoboni's recordings of Pancrace Royer's oeuvres. He truly makes them sing or, in this case, march!
BRAVISSIMO!

La meilleure interpretation! Felicitation!

You resurrect that music 😇

How do we make this happen?
And the midi keyboard digital sound won't even be close to a real instrument.
Point on interpretation!
What is the A tuned to? It sounds nearly a whole step lower. Close to A equaling 400. Maybe A equals 410.
3:28- 4:54
cinematic
Where can this recording be bought?
Oh and BTW my favorite performance of this piece is by Jean Rondeau, but that's just a personal preference
Not my favorite interpretation, but it's how I would play it for myself. Really massaging it, and wringing out every phase.
Fantastic performance! What is the temperament used?
it is written in the titles at the end!
you find it in the titles at the end
👋👋👋👋
Truly fabulous!! only Jean Rondeau comes close.
BS. William Christie
damn daniel
Regio.
🤔 la marcha de los escitas... que actual
Marche means 'to march'. Scytes are soldiers. Where they drunk?
Scythes, not Scytes. The Scythians were a nomadic people living in the plains north of the Black Sea. So what you hear is not drunken soldiers but the clatter of horses' hooves thundering across the steppe.

è un clavicembalo Bizzi?
I would want to know witch model is this harpsichord...
The technique is solid and pleasing to see. The accuracy is perfect. The musicianship is very deep. The instruments are good. The videos are well done in splendid spaces.
Unless he is like Helmut Walcha, blind from birth, I cannot understand the utterly grotesque affectation he does with his face. His facial antics ruin every video for me. If he is blind, then I apologize and admire his considerable musical accomplishment.
I feel like that much reverb does not really do good for this piece
Not a novice
Excellent performing but too much reverberation
la obra que interpreta y él mismo son la misma cosa.
Quite a performance, in the face of rather bad miking.
Was the composer on drugs ? It looks like the famous prelude and fugue from Bach.
Good interpretation but, the hapsichord is in 440hz and lamentably sound better in 415hz, is strange find a barroque instrument afined in 440hz.
in fact the tuning is la = 392 and not 440!
cantarlontano oh srry, sounds really 430hz+ for me, thx for the information!
Talented,isn’t ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is it me or is this how not to do a recording? All I hear is a horrible jumble of echoes which mar the music. The room looks to me rather inappropriate for this type of recording. Something is definitely wrong with this recording to my ears.
С этим дисторшеном слушать невозможно
The most abominable sound take I've ever heard in my life, and probably ever will. I can hear the echo more than the harpsichord itself. It's a total disgrace. My brother is a sound engineer, that would make his skin crawl.
Admittedly, it's a very nice piece but come on he looks like he is about to take off
