Two things amazing : 1. Bach composed this for organ and still it sounds like a tailor-made masterpiece for harpsichord. 2. Luc Beausejur finds every harpsichord-like aspects from this music and does justice to them.
If memory serves, organists often practiced pieces on something like this, because pumping was done manually in the early days of the organ and it got to be expensive. I would expect this is why it sounds so good on this instrument.
Especially the fuge - the fuge is great on the harpsichord and Luc’s ornementation just before the Fantasia is exquisite. I feel that the instrumentation for the prelude is lacking from the harpsichord as those big base pedal notes don’t come through as well. Really fun this one!
I have heard this piece for solo violin and for piano too, and they were both amazing, just like this rendition. The toccata and fugue in D minor is such a unique piece.
I liked the whole performance too. the only unjustice that may be noticed is the ending; the notes cannot be held for too long and improvisation is needed. Organ still beats the harpischord at that area.
Stupéfiant ! Je ne savais pas qu'un clavecin à pédalier existait. Cela enrichi beaucoup l'instrument. C'est une avancée technique considérable pour le clavecin. Bravo à Luc qui sait tirer partie à la perfection de ces nouvelles possibilités. Magique.
This is honestly an incredible, refreshing take on the toccata and fugue, and since it's on a harpsichord with pedals (I didn't even know there is such a thing)it's much clearer than an organ and therefore this take is also revealing. I really don't know why this doesn't have more views.
impressive. Mr Beausejour's phrasing is wonderful, a mature musician conveying Bach's language as he understands it. Adding the precision of the pluck to this work is shocking and wonderful. I will come back to this performance many times.
More and more I am beginning to love the mysterious sound of the pedal harpsichord. Hearing the beautiful low, deep, notes from the lower registers bring so much life into the music. Brilliant performance.
Genau meine Worte 😂 Ich füge noch hinzu - so laut, dass der Verputz von der Decke fällt 😂 Allerdings dann wohl eher mit Orgel - jedenfalls mein Lieblingsstück von meinem.Lieblingskomponisten..
@@mv.d.k.prepperoma6310 Interessante Tatsache: Bach versteckt in einigen seiner Werke tatsächlich seinen Namen. Er tat dies, weil das deutsche Notenbeschriftungssystem eine „H“-Note zulässt. Während sie im westlichen Beschriftungssystem also wie B♭, A, C und B aussehen kann, lautet sie im deutschen Beschriftungssystem tatsächlich B, A , C und H, die das Wort „Bach“ buchstabieren. Es tut mir leid, wenn mein Deutsch nicht stimmt. Ich benutze eine Übersetzungssoftware, um diese ganze Tatsache auf Deutsch zu schreiben
To play an organ keyboard with feet is awe-inspiring, as it is to watch any harpsichordist play with (just!) their hands; to play plucked strings in the same way is surely an act of hubris! Wonderfully exciting to hear and watch this masterful musician defy the odds in such a magnificent performance!
Plus on l'écoute plus on se dit que la beauté de votre jeu se marie si bien avec les subtilités de ce magnifique clavecin à pédalier. Merci chaleureusement... Merci aussi à Monsieur Beaupré pour avoir fait cet instrument avec toute sa force et toute son âme.
I have done so. I grew up with a grandmother who was a concert pianist and a father who played the blues on the piano. I still FAR prefer the harpsichord an have since I was a child. Everyone has his own taste, I suppose.
Both harpsichords and pianos are capable of producing powerful sounds, to be sure. However, a bass note on a harpsichord acoustically creates a much purer sound than a bass note on a piano. This is caused by the fact that a piano hammer strikes two or three strings at once, creating complex overtones. These overtones can add to the aesthetic of the instrument, but usually muddy the very low bass notes somewhat.
pedals are great for giving much more range . This is amazing. Another instrument (like the carillon) I would never have thought of using for this particular piece of music. because of the clarity of the harpsichord, I heard notes and phrases I never heard before. I stand amazed.
Brilliant! Simply amazing!! This is unquestionably one of the most masterful pieces of organ music ever conceived (and most popular). However, to hear it on a harpsichord such as this really allows one to appreciate the mastery and intricacy of this piece in a way that has never been known to me. I have always attributed so much of the grandeur of this piece to the organ, itself, but to hear it stripped of those thousands of pipes shows that it is the piece that is the true gem.
I highly urge you listen to Egg's cover of this piece if you haven't already, it uses this in a very aerial way on a Hammond organ that is so beautiful
WOW! Absolutely SUPERB!! The articulations and use of trills at transition at 6:42 and later at the ending at 7:50 are so MOVING!! Fantastic job!!! This is one of my absolute favorite interpretations!! Bravo!
A true revelation! I would never have thought that the Toccata and Fugue could have worked on the harpsichord, but it does...and magnificently. Felicitatations, Luc! Quel maestro! And the final extempore section of the fugue is nothing short of magnificent!
I imagine it was probably composed on a harpsichord. The Piano Forte was invented very late in his life and is very different from a modern piano. There is a possibility that he saw one of those very late in life. Still, it would have been mostly organ or harpsichord for Bach.
@XDranzer000I have read that Bach tried some pianoforte's made by Silbermann, the first time he told Silbermann to try harder, the second time he liked the instrument(s) more. But that was late in his life. Now I'm hoping this is not some hoax I read :).
E. Power Biggs had a pedal harpsichord and he recorded several LPs with it including one of Bach organ pieces encluding the Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor..
Very well played! Complete with ornaments similar to what every musician of the 18th Century would have added to the written music, and which nicely fills in the sustained chords at the end.
This is an incredible performance, and really perked up my ears. Lots of interpretive nuances explored that many mainstream recordings haven’t touched. Not to mention, imo, this piece sounds perfect on the harpsichord. I forget that it’s even originally meant to be performed on organ.
I can't help but be aware of the technic it requires to play this piece on the harpsichord, and he is utterly masterful, and very in touch with the soul of the instrument!
I join the multitudes who praise the artist and the instrument and have watched the vid many times. Generally eyes closed and brain riding the waves of music until today, when I saw an artwork of a man and a head hanging on the wall at the end of the room. Great backdrop for the music I thought until I realized the man was moving. A mirror is reflecting Beausejour and another man, probably the sound tech both busy with their work
So lovely to hear the pedal harpsichord so beautifully played and to once again, like the pedal clavichord, prove its rightful place as an instrument in its own right alongside the organ for the performance of these exquisite works of Bach [and his contemporaries] - thanks so much for so wonderful a post. Congratulations! !
C'est somptueux Monsieur Beauséjour ! Le clavecin à pédalier sied si bien à la musique organistique ainsi peut-être à beaucoup d'autres pièces acceptant le jeu de 16' que j'aime tant et que j'ai la chance d'avoir sur mon Pleyel ! Merci très fort. Si un jour vous pensez poster la très belle BWV 582, ce serait un immense plaisir de vous écouter dans les mêmes conditions que présentement. Mille mercis !
This was a wonderful discovery. You play with such restraint! And such sound comes out! A straightforward, respectful interpretation! I would give you a standing ovation.
Interprétation très convaincante.. comme bcp de pièces destinées a l'orgue le passage par Le clavecin était quasi obligé pour travailler dans un espace plus confortable que l'église et pour économiser les souffleurs.. bach possédait un ou deux clavecins pédalier... bravo
i've loved listening to harpsichord music for decades, but for some reason this is the first time i'm actually seeing what a harpsichord looks like. not what i expected!
I had never seen such instrument.. pretty cool, and the 565 comes out really well in it.. crystal clear notes and chords. A friend tells me the 582 may have been originally composed in the pedal-harpsi as well.
Was not aware of a pedal harpsichord I had read that Bach, in his youth, repaired/tuned church organs, so he had access to them. But how much time could he get for the people to operate the bellows contraptions, while he composed. This design makes perfect sense. Great performance by Luc Beausejour. Thanks for that!
Top-flight musicians like Bach could compose music in their heads and write it down without playing it first. They could also enjoy a piece of music just by reading the notes on the page. Wish I could do that.
Amazing performance ! Bach uses harpsichords to compose his music at home (as shown in the Bach House in Eisenach-Germany). This piece on harpsichord (instead of Organ) has revealed a lot of unknown details to me ...

The part that starts at 2:31 is one of the most brilliant parts of ANY composition in the history of music. I love this piece on the organ but it's best on the harpsichord. It's majestic on the organ but downright sinister on the harpsichord!
You could just said the fugue... They start by a theme and the beginning part of the fugue will be reuse of the theme in other keys with the other voice playing something different creating a harmonic polyphony (here it isn't counterpoint), Bach was surely the greatest fugue composer.

An absolutely stunning performance on a beautiful instrument!

Bravo for this rendition on pedal-harpsichord. It is second to none!
Im sure they argue that because in this piece Bach ended the coda in a minor chord which is "unusual" for his works because he "always" ends his minor works in a major chord (picardy third).
I'm an organist and I think this piece works better for Harpsichord, it seems clearer. A great performance.
Came for the harpsichord.Stayed for the skill.

Bonne nuit mon vieux. Comment trouvez-vous cette interprétation aujourd'hui que vous avez 28ans?
I was told that pedal harpsichords were not designed for performance, but only practice; however this one sounds like a very good instrument.
I love the way it sounds too 😊
Ja, If baroque and classical music died and at least took all the snobs with it I would say YES.
Like most things in art the original intent doesn't matter. If it works it works.
@@kishascape 💯
First and only instrument that does true justice to the Organ. Another example of how magnificent the Harpsichord's power is!
Other than the organ?
Absolutely...first thought was that this very much approached the organ for magnificence. What an instrument.
I liked the whole performance too. the only unjustice that may be noticed is the ending; the notes cannot be held for too long and improvisation is needed. Organ still beats the harpischord at that area.
Dol Lon It don't beat it, those are different instruments, with their own good and bad things, you can't compare a Hapsichord with an Organ

A clean sound, principaly for the fugue, depends on the registration of the organ. Low notes on pedal harpsichord are not that clean...
