i can hear the "purists" declaring, aghast: "No, no no, a piano? And at that, a piano using pedal? There's too much vibrato! Obviously they're not using gut strings, and they aren't tuning to 415! It's all sacriligeous and the Baroque gods are displeased!". To these dry, holier-than-thou types I say: Too bad for you. The rest of us love this!
Please listen to an cultured and updated performance of this! How can they say " trio sonata for two violins and PIANO" For goodness sake it's for two violins and basso continuo (usually played with a chello and a HARPSICHORD) Pianos didn't even exist by then, so. Why play it on the piano and say it was composed for piano?! Uncultured people Let's respect the great master Haendel and he will respect us We shouldn't change his masterpieces and say he composed it for an instrument that didn't exist by then! If we are to post something in internet please research a little bit Thank you Ps Forgive my poor English , I'm not from there
Myri Lowe Tbh I don’t think they’re going for a completely historically accurate performance. If we’re gonna point out that it wasn’t even composed for piano then we might as well also point out that they aren’t tuned to 415hz. Which isn’t a problem actually. Some change is good.
Indeed, I understand that they are not going at all for an completely historically acurrate performance, for that, they should change a lot of aspects of their performance, not only the tuning as you pointed out, but the violin should be baroque as the other instruments, the strings should be of gut strings? (I think you call them that in english, but im not sure) and a lot of aspects in the interpretation (articulations, agrecements (not sure of the word again, i mean the mordents, trinos, gruppetos and stuff), but to say that the piece is called "sonata for two violins and PIANO" is quite over the top, Handel wrote it for harpsichord , and I as a harpsichord, organ and piano young student, know perfectly that as you cannot play Debussy in a harpsichord, you cannot play Handel in a piano, cause the harpsichord and piano are two diferent worlds, and it contradicts the idea of Handel when he wrote it.The piano with its soft and menancholic sound and the harpsichord with its atmospehic clear sound, and not only the sound but a lot of other aspects. If a weird tipe of piano came out now, and it gets quite popular, would you say "Mozart Concerto For Weird Piano N.X" or would you say "Mozart Concerto For Piano N.X played on weird piano". Ithink I explained myself, thanks
It was historic performances of Handel like this ( and all the other Baroque composers) that eventually inspired the wonderful appreciation of the Baroque and ultimately the return to original instrumentation and interpretation we have today. Do some research please, before ignorant condemnation, on the 40 year process of change. The 1960s harpsichords were little more than plucking pianos and with all that vibrato, it would have been considerably worse! My mother's only access to J.S. Bach, in the 1940s, was Leopold Stockowsky. Imagine that!!
OK, perhaps they should have said “on” instead of “for”. Incidentally, would you ban performance of anything ever written for castrati on the basis that countertenors (or any female register for that matter) can’t be perfectly equivalent? Or would you insist..., oh, horror of horrors ....?
@myri : Baroque music is not bound by instrumentation. Bach is very effective played on a xylophone. Handel's Messiah performed by big orchestras and choirs has hugely pleased normal people for centuries.
Such sublime playing. What a joy it must have been for a father and son performing together with such expression!
Два великих музыканта- отец и сын! Музыка Генделя в вашем исполнении бессмертна!!!
This trio sonata is ahead of its time. I like that Handel in his sonatas gave a lot of prominence and virtuosity to the basso continuo
Wow, wow, wow.... this is just so beautiful, just like their rendering of Mozart's wonderful Sinfonia concertante.
Beautiful sonata beautifully played! I played this piece with my teacher back in the 1950s.
An excellent rendition of Handel's work from two great violinists
Bravo. Thank you for sharing this gem of a performance of this amazing piece.
10 minutes of MAGIC...
bellaluna31 ❤
Thank you for posting this record!!
P.S. Just to remind you this is Op.2 No. 6
I don’t think it is. I got the sheet music for no 7 and it is exactly the same
Glorious playing and glorious Handel.
Handel wrote a mountain of music and I have yet to come across anything which is not splendid. His trio sonatas are all gems particularly the E major.
me and my friends decide to play this! this is amazing perfomance! :)
Very moving! Soulful !
The days when Handel sounded like Brahms! We do however, owe them much for the Baroque Revolution 40 years on!
Господи , какое блаженство .
Handel HWV391 (op.2 No.6) on IMSLP
Very nice!!! Thank you!
also a very beautiful and inspiring piece!
from another time and sublime
Playing this in a gifted group and I'm the youngest 11!!!
Первая чать поразительно перекликается с двойным концертом Баха (для 2-х скрипок), хотелось бы знать, кто из двух гениев настолько впечатлился другим.
Maybe both were impressed by someone third.😆
Гендель не знал музыку Баха;а Бах всю жизнь изучал произведения Генделя.
sono anche forme tipiche della loro epoca che erano semplicemente comuni a molti musicisti. La Bellezza è di tutti e di nessuno , cari amici
Impeccable!
What a treat! David Oistrakh is the deeper sounding of the two perhaps?
Andante Allegro - 00:00
Arioso - 05:07
Allegro - 8:43
à faire envie de jouer avec autant de perfection ...!
Andante 0:00
Allegro 3:01
Arioso 5:04
Allegro 8:43
beautiful
:)
It is op.2 no.6 not no.7 Thanks for uploading
❤💐💐💐
Nice upload. Check spelling... HaNdel and SoNata. Thank you. BRIAN

BTW First Violin!!!!
3:02
non sarà filologico ma è bellissimo
Where did you get the sheet music for this song?
imlsp is the public music library
It's not a song!!!!!
@@peterlilley3897It just might be. Chill my friend. Handel wasn't so stuffy as you think.
5:07 :)
