I think it's not a hurdy gurdy piece. But maybe it's just because of me as a cellist.

[@ijerry1]

I love the phrasing in this - a great interpretation of Bach on the hurdy gurdy - many thanks!

[@radiofreeburgundy]

Take that, Donovan! For I have heard The Hurdy Gurdy Lady playing the most sublimely beautiful piece of solo music ever composed (bowed strings, anyway) played almost as masterfully as when I saw Yo-Yo Ma play the JSB Cello Suites out in the park in Chicago back in June, 2019. He had the occasional helicopter or sirens blaring off in the distance to contend with, but she's got that constant dang clicking, which honestly, would drive me up the wall after about the fourth Sarabande or so. So yeah, Bravo!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When I saw the title I was like "ho my god, it's gonna be a massacre"... but wow ! What a wonderful adaptation ! Hats off for the lady! Bravissima !

[@jameswalker4704]

Note: the song "Hurdy Gurdy Man" does not have a hurdy gurdy in it. 😮

[@robappleby583]

Fantastic. Not only a fascinating choice of instrument but also a beautifully conceived interpretation. Very well done.

[@samspianos]

Great interpretation and wonderful sound

[@Ronilac]

Nice try...

[@hughrobertson7170]

OK, but wait till you hear Henk von Twillert play it on baritone sax

[@jameswalker4704]

Bravo! More portable than a cello.
As a mostly classical guitar this brings up my sustain envy. 😂

[@jcortese3300]

Isn't that beautiful!!! Absolutely lovely!

[@pascalmassie4706]

Très beau!

[@stephenrouse2493]

how does one get past the clacking noises.

[@spodosol]

It's emulating a 1940s Hohner accordion this way. Who needs dancers when you have a noisy keybox!

I guess once one realises it's part of the sound and can easily be avoided if one wants, and that the clanking of one instrument can sound a lot more musical than the clanking of another, you really can't live without it. I remember recording a vielle a roue in a baroque ensemble, and we had too little clanking for our taste, and that particular gurdy had such a beautiful and musical, organic clanking sound from the keys that we had to put another mic to just focus on that so we could really push the clanking up in the mix. It's a percussive part of the sound that adds organic sounding definition of the different notes, and works pretty much just like a snare drum, which is also a percussive part of the sound of an ensemble.
