This video is an excellent demonstration that a harpsichord of Hieronymus Albrecht Hass (or a replica thereof) can make small sounds as well as big ones. These are magnificent instruments.
Großartige Aufnahme! Unglaublich energetisierend. So fesselnd, dass ich augenblicklich in dieser Musik abtauchen kann, selbst wenn ich gerade mit was anderem beschäftigt war und nur zufällig den Hinweis auf Ihre neue Aufnahme fand. Das geht mir bei fast all Ihren Aufnahmen so.
For some reason, many people tend to dislike any harpsichord having more than the boring 2x8‘ 1x4’ configuration (maybe due to the horrible 16’ registers present in early revival instruments) but personally, I love these more feature rich instruments and when the additional registers are used wisely, they add a lot to the music!
Who says 16' registers on revival instruments are horrible? Some of the revival harpsichords had some engineering problems, and some of them do also have defects in sound (Neupert, I'm looking at you), but some of them (even some of the fairly early ones, like Pleyel) sound pretty good (especially Eric Herz, Sperrhake, and another type with a similar name that I can't remember off the top of my head). And then of course we have the Hieronymus Albrecht Hass ancestors of the revival harpsichords, and I've heard recordings of triple manual instruments of this type, and they are magnificent, and this video is one of them.
And I’m used to hearing this piece (365) played much faster (for example Scott Ross). Playing it slower brings out an extra beauty that I wasn’t even aware of. Thank you.
How do we decide on tempi in this music. A harpsichordust dismissed my k.411 because she said t he music was not meant to be fast and pisno recordings were not a judge or rule. Tradition ? Gilels plays all of them too slow. Bartok records them and is really sensutive to their features. Landowska as in almost everything she touches is thoughtfully insincere and wronggeaded like that other popular nut GlennGould(Strauss Burleske:wrong!BeethovensonatasWrong!!the ugliest Mozart ever recordedlike ChickCorea. IngridHaebler should have Gould arrested!
Gorgeous playing and instrument.
