Bach - Six little preludes BWV 933-938 - Alard | Netherlands Bach Society

- In the Six little preludes, performed by Benjamin Alard for All of Bach, we hear the everyday Bach. He must always have had a lot of smaller and simpler pieces scattered about at home, as a source of inspiration for all sorts of purposes. This set of six preludes is a case in point. It almost seems to be a preparation for the Wohltemperirte Clavier, with a prelude in C major and minor, D major and minor, and E major and minor.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 1st 2015 at the Paushuize, Utrecht. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Because time is racist and so are questions.
Bach was a black man. As was Beethoven.
This may not be true now, but as the ethnic Europeans are made minorities in Thier own historic Homelands History will be rewritten and there will be no mention of the white Christian European people.
No instead there will only be a thousand years of darkness and the human people will never be unyoked and the whole of humanity are worse than slaves .
Demographics are destiny and we must remind each other every time.
An African, or asian, man born in Denmark or any other country will never be a Dane or a European.
Did anyone here know that the un has laws on calling any country that they are a nation of immigrants?
It is the prequel to a massive Ethnic Cleansing.
If the Ethnic Europeans loose Europe our only home how will we be treated?
We will be raped and murdered at a higher rate than we are now.
The damages already done to the Ethnic makeup of the Continent are so sever that every single "Nation" as we know them today will be gone due to the fact that these people don't consider themselves European, they see themselves as the Frank's and Vandals saw themselves.
They see the opportunity of carving out a new land for Thier people.
God warned us not to lose our faith in him, or we would suffer the same fate as Israel.
We have to return to Christ and the Father or we will bare witnesses to the Lord's Divine retribution on all of our people!
the first prelude always beings a smile to my face, something about that melody is just so uplifting!
lovely sequences
every time i heard bach, some piceces or phrases make me think about my life, and that prelude is one example of that
There is so much Bach to discover, and I feel I’ve only barely scratched the surface. What a generous soul he was. I don’t understand how a human mind can put so much beauty and mathematical brilliance into paper. He was a true architect of holy spaces .
Como Bach nadie, es el Maestro de maestros !! ❤🤍💚💙🧡❤
well said
Everything about this video does the utmost service to Bach's music. Wonderful!
The harpsichord is one of those instruments you need to hear in person to really appreciate all of its wonderful qualities. Played very well in this video.
This harpsichord sounds so beautiful! Combined with Bach, the harpsichord comes to life.
Beautiful, thank you!!
Nahre Sol Narhe!!! I love your channel and your video 😊
How great it is to find you here. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see that you watch this channel. Any great musician would be very interested in the top-quality Bach performances that this channel consistently puts out.
The instruments of Joel Katzman often sound so very rich when played by a maestro like Benjamin Alard.
Built in 2014. Amazing!
@@ShannonWare He is an active harpsichord builder. Richard Egarr always plays his instruments on recordings. In the past he lived in Amsterdam when he often visited concerts. Nowadays I believe he has chosen residence in the city of Haarlem.
I have not paid much mind to the Kleine Praeludien until now. Benjamin Alard’s performance ( as well as the sonorous instrument on which he plays and the wonderful production) have made me want to listen to and absorb these gems. Thank you.
The entire compilation around 18 little preludes is priceless. Each prelude is a strong masterclass of composition and taste. Oftenly underrated, playing and analyzing this pieces, gives great tools to composers for new and fresh ideas and it's a perfect place for improvisation too. Bach was the master and still is.
18? Where ? I only saw 6
@@Reino_X I mean the whole set, the complete preludes are 18-19. These are only one section of the set.
I am learning the BWV 935 and it is no means easy!
A mí me parece que los Pequeños Preludios de Bach son realmente inmensos. Y muy bien tocados, como aquí se escucha, reafirma mi impresión. Mi m siempre lo encontré emocionante...y todos, tan sencillos en apariencia, son preciosos y nada fáciles. Gran interpretación. Gracias
Son bellísimos estos 6 pequeños preludios.. es una obra de arte cualquiera
siiii, son unas de las mejores obras pedagogicas, para estudiar distintos aspectos
I loved every note he played. Great performance of beloved, but underrated music!
Mr. Alard is a very good harpsichordist and has his own delicate choices of registration and trills' execution. Bravo. Thanks for uploading.
Some existing historic reports of those who were lucky to witness Bach play in person say that "his fingers hardly seemed to move". The same we see here, Mr. Alard surely was well aware of the feature mentioned above when he learned to play :) utmost precision and economy of movement - so much that sometimes it seems that sound is desynced. But watching attentively shows that it's not. A good example of mastery shown on "simple" Bach's pieces intended for pupils.
This is the very thing that struck me. Perhaps it was the very involving camera work that forced it on my previously lazy inattentiveness, but it was a revelation to me. I caught myself checking eye against ear. So much, with so little (it seemed). Very, very satisfying.
Υes the notorious bach touch. See Grienperkel and Forkel on this. Haendel too had the same touch, it must have been a technique of the time using the correct stance in the palm of the hand.
I was charmed by the unexpected Oriental illustration on the instrument. On, appropriately, an Oriental carpet. What beauty for the eye and ears!
O cravo é o instrumento mais lindo que há!
1:17 the way he builds up to that velvety smooth drop at 1:24, so much longing in that phrasing. the way this guy plays feels so smooth
Sei piccole Perle preziosissime della letteratura Bachiana, in cui traspare anche la semplicità profondissima della vita cristiana, con tratti di sofferenza nostalgica e di gioia, fino all'afflato mistico.
Johann Sebastian, anche in queste piccole composizioni per principianti, comunica con spontanea naturalezza lo stato elevatissimo della sua anima.
Complimenti al clavicembalista che, secondo me, è riuscito a comunicare questi rarissimi sentimenti.
Grazie! 🙏💘🕊️
Most beautifully played version of the Little Preludes I've ever heard! Played as Bach would have liked it: Cantabile style!
What an exquisite rendition! 🎼🎶👏🏼
So light, expressive, lovely.
Your production value is amazing, too. Camera and recording are top notch! Thank you very much for all these lovely videos.
I sincerely thank you for taking these wonderful small gems to the performance which sheds the light on how to interpret before going to the le grand œvre.
35 people got their brains melted by Bach's Baroque power! I love this!
Magnificent and authentic performance of the Six Little Preludes...and what beautiful hands and wrists too!
Best performance and sound of all bwv 933 versions i 've heard
Wonderful pieces, especially the second subjects. Your playing is exemplary.
This is so well played I just keep coming back to this as inspiration for my practice. The playing is full off little nuances like the treatment of the rythm in the left hand at 2:10.
936 and 937 are so good! Absolutely beautiful.
Merci Benjamin pour cette interprétation très poétique sur ce magnifique clavecin. Nous aurons le plaisir d'écouter le troisième volet de votre intégrale sans doute avant la fin de l'année... Merci.
Excellent execution . The instrument is wonderful in sound and physical beauty
Very elegant. And Mr. Alard has anatomically beautiful hands...perfect for the instrument.
Powerful yet lovely sounding harpsichord
Beautiful playing!!!
Esecuzione elegante e un bello strumento. Complimenti. Grazie
Excellent! Beautiful music and harpsichord! May Jesus bless you
brilliant performance! 👏and lovely sounding instrument
I love how Benjamin Alard plays! I would definitely like to see him or anyone at NBS play BWV 902.
Wanderfull performane, best played :) Thanks for the recording,
Gracias por ese regalo a los oídos tan maravilloso, Bach único, universal
That is a beautiful harpsichord
Tiene un sonido muy similar al que emplea Ton Koopman en sus grabaciones.
@@ruperttmls7985 sorry but i only understood 'Ton Koopman'
@@luuktorn It has a sound very similar to the one Ton Koopman uses in his recordings.
@@fswechsler thanks for the translation!
Almost as good as Anthony Jennings playing a Taskin harpsichord.
Amo a Bach gracias sociedad Bach por compartir esta hermosa musica.
Why I worship musicians like Benjamin Alard, because I can't play an instrument to save my life. Thank you for posting this.
This video helps me A LOT on some fingering issues. Thank you !
incredible playing, this guy plays it really well
I love beautiful music.
Lovely. Simply lovely.
Thoroughly enjoyed this
Was für köstliche Kleinode diese Präludien sind, und darf dazu noch dem Benjamin zuhören. Finde ich sehr nett von euch!
J apprecie Bach de manière incontionnel cela permet une meilleure concentration pronfonde gratitude merci ❤❤❤
Artistic video.Oscar for musical film!
Nice. Beautiful instrument.
Interesting and pleasing. Fine instrument.
Wonderful!
Fabulous.
What a beautiful instrument! I'm glad you finally played without the coupler, as I was beginner to wonder if you always play with the coupler on. I started to work on these preludes when I was about eleven, though of course, I didn't play them so well and not on a harpsichord. These little pieces are more attractive than some of the WTC, let's be honest.
Very nice, Oh I wish I had that Harpsichord!!
Fantastic ! I think Bach himself wanted to have it played exactly this way !
tota la musica de Bach es increible i si l'intrerpret, l'instrument i els tecnics estan a l'alçada com aqui es demostra, els que en gaudim estem gratant el cel, vaja, que jo al menys dono les gràcies a tots el que ho fan possible.
I lova that.Thank you.
I have a harpsichord thats fairly similar to this one. Has the soundboard was painted in the same way. Bach sounds so much better on harpsichords, you can use his tunings to play his pieces which makes a world of difference.
Excellently performed 8)
Beautiful! I used to play no1 and 2 but not as good as him.
Love thanks!!
¡Gran video! Me pregunto si las tomas cenitales sobre el teclado las hicieron con un dron muy silencioso.
Sou fanático por Bach, o mais divino compositor de todos os
tempos! Se Deus quiser, pretendo
ir até a Alemanha, para me ajuelhar e orar por ele, na igreja que está sepultado!
Espectacular!!! Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina Fernando Hidalgo 3ro
1:48 oh hey, I recognize this one from Portal 2 (it’s from the track “Machiavellian Bach”)
Yep, in Portal 2, that prelude is played in f minor instead of c minor, and there are some mistakes well noticeable for anyone who played this prelude (or is a piano teacher)
@@tomvalusek makes sense considering what it's supposed to represent within the game itself
Perfect!
En mil años la gente seguirá idolatrando a Bach.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser sechs kleinen und fein komponierten Meisterstücke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klar artikuliertem doch etwas anmutigem Klang des historischen Cembalos und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich genialer Cembalist!
Excellent performance. And the camera work is amazing too; I wonder how it was done, with a crane?
Thankyou very much
Merci !
Amazing music and nice video! Next time, could you please keep the original ultrawide aspect ratio so the black bars don't appear?
Good job Benjamin Alard! From Benjamin Alan
He plays really well.
What a great cembalo!!
Isn't it? Enjoying the sound.
I wonder about those final cadential notes played softly on the upper manual... does anyone else find the tonal change odd...? Very stylish performance...
Lovely as usual. Great instrument, great playing, and the quality of the music goes without saying of course.
Just one small suggestion: move the mics a tiny bit further back. Do you have any ribbon microphones? They work great on harpsichords. All in all though, your production is consistently good.
Bravo
Lovely, very pleasant as always with these recordings. I found it especially interesting with that - occasionally quite pronounced - inegale in the left hand on the C minor prelude; I'm not yet familiar enough with these preludes to tell whether that is common practice or not.
(first around 2:12 and then again around 2:40)
It does have a French feel to it, after all!
Tommy Vaske Gould plays it straight.
Count Basie played it inegale.
Sehr schön!
Wonderful!!
Prachtig !
He is good, this Alard Guy !
NOT "Guy" ... gentleman, thank you. And yes, he is very good indeed.
Oh, don't be so stuffy... He's clearly a gentleman, but I think he is a guy too. Anyone playing Bach is a good guy.
@@endreszatmari2302 Thank you for your understanding. Colin Cantiglew, apologies, I didn't mean no offense, I'm sure this fellow is a gentleman, it's written all over his face, I just meant this dude is the real McCoy!
a moved performance, on a bright harpsichord
GENIO !!!!
Excellent performance of Bach. To me, a music producer, I would have liked less room ambience; In other words the mic closer to the instrument, in such a live room. Thank you for the great music.
j'adore
I hear inspiration for Scott Joplin in his Magnetic Rag in the Cm piece . . .
prachtig hoor !
Esse som é muito metálico,parece um violão
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 excellent!!!!!!!
De Musikant is fantastisch en het Instrument is prächtig
3:50 best intro ever
Somehow he makes the bass in the D major prelude sound exactly like a bassoon!
Don't mind me, just adding a few hundred to the viewcount over time.
personally bwv 935 is my favorite
Wonderful !!
Can someone tell me why there is a second keyboard above the one he is playing ?
Basically it make a softer sound. I don't know how this works, but you can hear the effect in the 2 gavottes in this performance: th-cam.com/video/2UxTsFXZsnQ/w-d-xo.html
@@francit.7636 Each keyboard controls a different set of strings. When coupled, both sets sound at the same time and the tone becomes richer and louder.
