99% of his pieces cannot properly be transcribed for modern pianos, they sound horrendous when they are played on one. I'm guessing that's the major reason why he's so criminally underrated.
Remarquable soliste instrumental. Interprétation magnifique. Toutes ses oeuvres sont un ravissement. Je l'aime particulièrement dans les suites en la et en sol de Rameau. Merci pour ce moment de pur bonheur
I am so happy that somebody finally explores the keyboard music of the French baroque! There are masterpieces to discover that are are melodious, rich and intricate - to rival anything of greats like Bach, Händel or Scarlatti. Exquisite playing by Tharaud as always! Certainly a recording I´ll see under my Christmas tree !!!
Agreed. The main reason we hear too few of them relative to the quality of their output is that we tend to focus on composers who were influential in the establishment of the modern classical music canon, which is heavily focused on Germany, especially because everything after Beethoven is traceable back to Beethoven and Beethoven just happened not to be influenced by French baroque composers while he did a lot of in-depth analysis of Bach and of Fux' 'Gradus ad Parnassum'. Even the French composers after him, from Saint-Saëns to Massenet, were more influenced by Beethoven than by their own compatriots, until the rise of the likes of Ravel and the Group des Six, who heavily drew from Baroque influences and were fond of French Baroque composers. Even some highly innovative contemporaries of Beethoven like Étienne-Nicolas Méhul were overlooked by their later compatriots. In reality, the quality of work of the likes of Rameau and Couperin was such, that the French could have easily developed a Classical and Romantic tradition out of their work on their own without Bach, in the hypothetical scenario that the present German music tradition hadn't become dominant in all of Western art music.
@@classicallpvault8251 Perhaps also the influence of the French Revolution trying to wipe out the traces of the "ancien regime". And I suppose the menace of Napoleon would have left many other European countries with a bad taste in their mouths for French culture. During this same time you had William II of Prussia who like his predecessor Frederick the Great was a massive patron of the art and propagated Prussian culture. It all adds up.
TH-cam source inépuisable de pépites...jusqu'à ce matin j'ignorais même le nom du compositeur de ce petit chef d'oeuvre....Merci à Alexandre Tharaud de l'avoir enregistré et interprété avec tant de délicatesse.
C'est sublime comme toujours avec Alexandre Tharaud. Sortir aussi merveilleusement du clavecin pour l'amener au piano cette pièce du compositeur toujours méconnu Pancrace Royer, ou les Ombres errantes de Couperin, n'est donné qu'à cet incroyable et touchant pianiste. Merci pour ce moment suspendu.
quel émerveillement devant ce lyrisme qui semble couler comme une fontaine inépuisable; interprète inspiré s'il en fut et découverte d'oeuvres oubliées
Que belíssima interpretação, Alexandre Tharaud!!!👏👏👏💕Em 19/07/2021, Eder Giaretta, mestre do curso "Piano Criativo", analisou L' Aimable no Chá com Piano #34 : "Música Barroca precisa ser quadrada?"- TH-cam. Depois de ouvi- los: Não, Música Barroca não precisa ser quadrada. 🎹 Alexandre Tharaud e Eder Giaretta demonstraram isso!!!👏👏👏
Magnifique! Moi qui ne suis pas un inconditionnel des interprétations de M. THARAUD, je trouve qu'il fait ici preuve d'audace, de justesse et de grande sensibilité. Un lyrisme nouveau qui ne bouscule en rien l'austère beauté de ces oeuvres.
Tout est splendide dans cette vidéo. Le pianiste, le cadre et bien sûr cette musique si touchante ! Au passage, merci d'avoir eu l'audace de jouer sur un Yamaha, cette couleur sonore nous change un peu du désormais trop entendu Steinway & Sons.
J'écoute beaucoup de Couperin et autres Rameau. Le piano est très bien mais seul le clavecin rends vraiment justice à cette musique car elle est écrite pour lui.
@@dgionescu In playing ornaments in for example the Music of J.S. Bach it is not easy to play all required ornaments. You have to take into account when you play the ornaments they must sound delicately played. That requires a lot of practice and strong fingers that can work quite independently from each other. And playing more in tempo makes it even harder to play the ornaments well.

Royer is such an underated composer! He is such a genius composer to create this masterpiece!

Royer is too much especial! I feel some inovations in his works. He manages to look beyond his epoque. Amazing...

Quelle merveilleuse musique. Merci infiniment Alexandre Tharaud pour ce magnifique partage.

Musique extrêmement raffinée et évocatrice d'un monde passé dont j'ai une certaine nostalgie .Admirablement interprété ici .
Et l'image accompagne si bien cette musique rare et envoûtante. Un moment hors du monde. Merci.
Du très grand art, unique, et qui offre une petite perspective dans l'histoire de notre beau pays.
Very very beautiful. Thanks for your wonderful piano playing!
Признание в любви от великого музыканта.
Слушаю-слушаю и не могу наслушаться!..
Merci 💝

Esecuzione stellare... Monsieur Tharaud❤
Wonderful to hear these.
I don't think the world needs more recordings of Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy and other standard favourites.
Thank you Alexandre!

Sublime de tensions et de délicatesse
Du grand art. Merci monsieur Tharaud .
L'Aimable by Joseph Nicolas Pancrace Royer is very beautiful piece!!!And it sounds great on piano!!! BRAVO!!!
Simplemente maravilloso en todos los sentidos
Admiration :)
Мне никогда не достичь такого мастерства. Никогда!!!
Только так можно признаться в любви, как это делает мой любимый музыкант!
Modern but cristal clear baroque sound. Fantastique performance!
This is so good!
VIVE LES BOURBONS!!!
Very romantic. The piano literally sings. Bravo!
Someone needs to record the complete keyboard works on piano .......criminally ignored like many French baroque composers .
Yumm!
Meravigliosa..Io non amo il pianoforte che esegue brani scritti per clavicembalo..ma questa aimable sembra scritta per il piano..complimenti.
♥♥♥
Una delicia!
👏
cool
Aimable, indeed. I do urge you to hear it on the harpsichord, along with the rest of the suite - in William Christie's mind-blowing recording.
Sounds a century or two before its time. Could have been by Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, or Rachmaninoff.
J'écoute beaucoup de Couperin et autres Rameau. Le piano est très bien mais seul le clavecin rends vraiment justice à cette musique car elle est écrite pour lui.
le roi des ornements
A little bit tricky, all those ornaments !
Well, just a bit.. u should know better! Or, just...?
