Oh.....for me the same! It must be an addiction....sometimes at nigth have some phrase in my mind i cant stop thinking about!!! Glad on my condition.... Bachaddict!!!
This is my Bach piece. I never performed it, but I practiced it forever, and I know every note. This performance is magnificent. Every line articulated perfectly. Thank you for gifting this to us.
The best performance of Bach's French Suite #5 I have ever heard. This piece is meant for the harpsichord and Francesco Corti plays it superbly. Bravo!
I have tears in my eyes listening to the Allemande. Thank you JS Bach, thank you Mr Corti, and thank you Netherlands Bach Society for these gifts from God.
Many voices telling the same story, with different words, different notes, but they generate perfect concordances for the speech, together they describe and tell a magnificent story...... Bach
A magnificent display of the range of expression, the internationalism, the joys, delights and playfulness of the most venerated exponent of western classical music. Sensitivity, confidently and convincingly performed.
I didn't think that it was possible to hear all the voices on a harpsichord. Wrong! Perfectly interwoven melodies coming to the fore then taking backstage. Amazing work, Francesco Corti! Thank you. ☺
Splendid. This is one of my favourite Bach pieces. It feels as if I am also at the concert. This Channel is great. I have come to know many great musicians, whom otherwise I would not, through this Channel. Thank you, guys.
That’s a splendid performance. I particularly enjoyed the the treatment of the gigue at the ‘B’ section as you wove all the lines together. As well, your ornaments really bring the entire composition to life in a way which few others have done. I thoroughly enjoyed your performance...many thanks. George
Everything about this video is so beautiful. The music, of course, but also the room, the harpsichord, the sky outside the window, the faces of the audience, and the player. And Corti always has SUCH beautiful ornamentations!
The harpsichord is such an expressive instrument, which makes the piano sound plain and clumsy by comparison? That performance is very musical and the ranges and couplings of the two manuals add to the musician's expressivity. Thank you for the video!
@@josephadams2378 Very good comment! I agree. And music appreciation is very variable and subjective. :-) Also , different types of instruments can be more suited to types of music suited to their characteristics.Having said that , I would be happy to hear the suite played on a piano! th-cam.com/video/0sDleZkIK-w/w-d-xo.html
I listened to this, because it is mentioned in a book called Goedel, Escher, and Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid. The book is actually about consciousness and he uses the last piece in this suite as an example. I was thoroughly amazed at the two seemingly totally separate melodies going on at the same time. Mind blowing.
Dacă ai trecut prin viață fără sa-l asculți pe Bach,ai trecut degeaba... Muzica lui îți rafinează spiritul si te face să simți că ești mai mult decât o bucată de pământ. Corti e exceptional. ..in interpretarea sa...
It was executed well but I wouldn't say in good taste. For example in the allemande he used a style of ornamentation more appropriate to a virtuosic/flashy piece, but that is not what the allemande is.
@@hugoclarke3284 It may not be strictly authentic; it may be ambitious bordering on exuberant, but I think it works, as Bach's music often does even when interpreted in dramatically un-traditional ways.
I thought it was strange that he played a substantially ornamented repeat of the first section A of the Allemande but then did not repeat the second section B at all. In my own performing I often repeat A and not B, but in such cases the repeat of A is exactly the same except maybe a registration change.
Wunderschöne und lyrische Aufführung dieser eleganten und perfekt komponierten Suite im gut phrasierten Tempo mit schimmerndem Klang des genialen Cembalos und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Einfach wunderbar!
Extraordinaria interpretación, me ha dejado maravillado. Increible la facilidad de digitación y la velocidad que imprime a los pasajes rápidos, todo ello con una tranquilidad asombrosa. Conocia estas piezas en version para piano (andras schiff) pero me parece mucho mas bellas tocadas en este instrumento. Magnifico el lugar en el que se interpreta y tambien es un placer ver las caras de satisfacción de los asistentes que como yo no salen de su asombro de asistir a tan maravillosa interpretación, bravo y mil veces bravo
Ik vind het super tof dat jullie ook inzoomen op het publiek! Daardoor voelt het bijna alsof je zelf ook in het publiek zit en het concert meemaakt! Heel erg bedankt!

When I am not listening to Bach, I can't wait until I hear Bach. That's my life, plain and simple.
bachkirche Me too!

How nice it sounds...
9:38 That woman's smile upon hearing the ornamentation in the repeat of the Gavotte's first half sums up this performance
The Allemande is one of Bach’s best from any of his keyboard suites. It’s truly a gem
A harpsichordist of increasingly rare caliber in today's world! Thank you for sharing this phenomenal performance!
Jean Rondeau if you aren't familiar with him. Look up his Goldberg Variations. They are here on TH-cam.
@@infledermaus he is not rare caliber
@@microroentgen If you want a special harpsichordist, check out the Fandango by Soler performed by Rafael Puyana. Really a special recording.
This is my Bach piece. I never performed it, but I practiced it forever, and I know every note. This performance is magnificent. Every line articulated perfectly. Thank you for gifting this to us.
Yes, this is primo.
I'm really taken with the sound of this harpsichord in particular. It's so well balanced and just rich sounding!
The best performance of Bach's French Suite #5 I have ever heard. This piece is meant for the harpsichord and Francesco Corti plays it superbly. Bravo!
LOVE this guy's use of ornamentation! So free and improvised sounding...amazing.
I have tears in my eyes listening to the Allemande. Thank you JS Bach, thank you Mr Corti, and thank you Netherlands Bach Society for these gifts from God.
I love the allemande, but I think the gigue is really interesting.
Also the Gigue! Embodiment of joy!
Delightful ornamentation in the Allemande and spirited playing throughout. Bravo! And thanks!
Normally, im not so keen on the harpsichord but here Corti 's rendition is luscious, reasonably sensitive, and full of life. BRAVO!
Many voices telling the same story, with different words, different notes, but they generate perfect concordances for the speech, together they describe and tell a magnificent story...... Bach
One of my most favorite Bach videos of all time. One of my favorite music videos of all time here!
As always top quality, thank you very much @Netherlands Bach Society
Bach was the universal genius of music.
What a magnificent interpretation. I get chills, and learn something new every time I listen. It's passionate, warm and thoughtful. Thank you.
I'm a self-confessed Bachaholic, but this rendition increases my addiction.
Contact your sponsor ASAP!
Hi everyone, my name is LAK770…I guess I’ve been using Bach for going on 30 years. My family has all but given up on me. I’ve really hit Bach bottom.
OMG! A fountain of pleasure both: audio and video together!
A magnificent display of the range of expression, the internationalism, the joys, delights and playfulness of the most venerated exponent of western classical music.
Sensitivity, confidently and convincingly performed.
I didn't think that it was possible to hear all the voices on a harpsichord. Wrong! Perfectly interwoven melodies coming to the fore then taking backstage.
Amazing work, Francesco Corti!
Thank you.
☺
This music is staggeringly complex, yet it pleases the ear and mind in equal measure.
Probably one of Bach’s most wonderful piano suites.
that is not a piano :/
Splendid. This is one of my favourite Bach pieces. It feels as if I am also at the concert. This Channel is great. I have come to know many great musicians, whom otherwise I would not, through this Channel. Thank you, guys.
This man combines all characters
and possibilities of playing the real harpsichord , yet in a very own way. Coming home.
Beautiful!
Pieter Sweelinck French Suite played very frenchie
One of the things that the group said: "Wow!" I cannot help but agree. It must have been a joy to have attended the event.
Absolutely magical
I accidentally deleted my comment from a few weeks before stating this is brilliant.
Just repeating this here today for the record. BRILLIANT !
That’s a splendid performance. I particularly enjoyed the the treatment of the gigue at the ‘B’ section as you wove all the lines together.

And Corti always has SUCH beautiful ornamentations!
You brought me back to reality... for a while I felt he was playing from a luminous cloud directly to my heart!!!
A graceful performance and a lovely, sweet sounding instrument.
The harpsichord is such an expressive instrument, which makes the piano sound plain and clumsy by comparison? That performance is very musical and the ranges and couplings of the two manuals add to the musician's expressivity. Thank you for the video!
Honestly, it is only expressive like this in truly expert hands. But these are truly expert hands. :)

Awesome performance! Best Bach content on TH-cam. Thanks Netherlands Bach Society for such great quality videos.
The Netherlands Bach Society is truly a treasure. I suspect that many of their performances will continue to be highly regarded for generations.
The speed and ornementation on the bourrée IS simply stunning...

Bravo Francesco Corti, bellisima interpretazione!
Loved every bar of this beloved French Suite. Played with great passion and expression.
Brings back memories as a Music Major, harpsichord student in Los Angeles a lifetime ago. Beautiful.
Beautiful performance and an incredible recording to boot. Thanks!
Such elegant and musical playing. How wonderfully moving. Bravo!
To me this suite's Sarabande is among Bach's greatest creations.
Ornamentation as it should be, full freedom but with excellent taste!! Amazing
It was executed well but I wouldn't say in good taste.
For example in the allemande he used a style of ornamentation more appropriate to a virtuosic/flashy piece, but that is not what the allemande is.

I much rather hear Bach on the harpsichord than the Piano, it seems to get closer to the man and his music.
Gorgeous tone and tasteful ornamentation! What a treat!
Truly you make the Harpsichord sing. Excellent playing.
Een erg prachtige suite, en wat fijn dat deze renditie in ons Amsterdam opgenomen heeft mogen worden! Bravo!

Per noi italiani è un orgoglio avere un connazionale che interpreta Bach magnificamente! 🕊️💘👍
Concordo!
You currently have some great harpsichordists in Italy !!
@@jsb7975 True!!! Thank you 😉
Abbiamo un altro connazionale di cui essere orgogliosi:
alessiocorti.wixsite.com/alessiocorti
just sublime, Corti is a bright light in my firmament now.
This is now my favorite performance of the G major French Suite. It's so good I doubt I could play it much better myself.😏
Bach is my inner self. This performance is a delight, the phrasing, the expression, brilliant.gracias signor Corti.
What a lovely piece. played by a great harpsichordist. points and counterpoints very much expressed by Conti. He rally gets into the groove .
ローランドの電子ピアノにこの曲の序章が挿入曲として入っておりましたが、題名を知らなかったので自力でネットで探してようやく見つけました。音源として聴くのも美しい曲ですが、演奏する様子を見ながら聴くと完成度の高さに圧巻されますね。また忘れないようにここにコメントします。
How wonderful to hear this first thing in the morning before getting out of bed!
Bach' s music is always beautiful and interesting. 🎉
Could listen to you playing Bach's works all day. Thank you.
Omg! 😱😱😱
I have been on a quest for the perfect harpsichord piece to learn and I have found it! 🥰
Dacci oggi il nostro Bach quotidiano! Bach immenso come sempre. Francesco Corti eccellente esecutore.
That change Corti makes in the repeat of the Courante around 4:06 sounds like perfection to my ears, as if Bach had written it himself
Bravo ! More words are not necessary. God bless you ! Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany
Excellent performance, would love to hear more from Conti in future videos! Bravo!
What a beautifull audience!!! Their faces just said it all! ❤
Splendide interprétation avec un raffinement absolu. Bravo et merci...
Que hermosa musica y el sonido del instrumento es maravilloso ❤.
I love all the ornamentation - perfection!
Bach is my drug, and I just got high
Same, it's even a healthy way to get high.
I resemble that remark.
Spoder Man Me too !!
Mmmh! Gimme some of that good stuff!
The best drug there ever was, without any adverse effects.
A spectacular performance.
I LOVE this BACH SOCIETY❤
Absolument réussi! Un Bach de haut rang. Bravo.
Very lovely indeed. For me the full beauty and charm of the allemande emerges only with a moderate tempo like this one. It blooms.
The gigue killed it, finished everything off in aaahhwww!!! Then applaud.
Bach, Bach and ten thousand times Bach...
An amazing and truly engaging performance! Thanks!
Bravissimo. Non saprei immaginare di meglio.
A fascinating atmosphere.
It brings tears to my eyes
Glidende, smukt og elegant, det er hvad , der at sige om dette stykke smukke musik. Elegant spillet
Great performance

Schade, dass wir in Duitsland so etwas nicht finden!
@@ulrichschwarz6917 Zum Glück haben wir jetzt das grenzelose Intenet!
Played with grace and subtlety unlike many "virtuoso" brash metronomic players.
Un placer indescriptible comenzar el día con este gran regalo. Infinitas gracias por compartirlo. ¡FELICITACIONES MAESTRO!'🌝⚘
Such a wonderful gift!!!
Penso que Bach foi um dos expoentes da Humanidade ! Tão grande como Michelângelo e Da Vinci😊
Bravissimo Maestro Corti !! Bravo e basta !!!
Wonderful! I imagine Bach himself playing just like this.
I love the harpsichord. This is magical.
Simply amazing! Bravo! Like so many others here, I am very impressed by your skillful ornamentation.
Splendida esecuzione, complimenti.
Not gonna lie, this was the first time I found any of the French Suites enjoyable. I guess I should give the rest a fresh hearing.
Try Number 2 of the French Suites -The Allemande is for my funeral :)
Ottimo! Come sei bravissimo!
Muchas gracias
Superbe!
Bellissimo Francesco! Un abbraccio!
Very beautiful!
Beautifully played and ornamented
Beautiful done. I enjoy the "macro rubato".
Bach un dialogue permanent et magnifique entre l homme et Dieu...quelle beauté !
hermosa interpretación muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos
