    OF THE MANY MUSICIANS WHO PLAY THIS ROYER PIECE, MARCO HAS THE VERY BEST INTERPRETATION BECAUSE HE ALLOWS SUFFICIENT TIME WITHOUT RUSHING THE MOVEMENT BEYOND IT´S OWN NATURAL CHARACTER. BRAVO MARCO !

      What do you mean by "natural character", Royer himself said that the performer was free to play at the tempo he wants.

    La più magistrale delle interpretazioni che ho ascoltato fino a adesso. Tempi e agogiche perfetti. Spesso per il gusto di accelerare i tempi si perde la potenza espressiva di questo pezzo, e anche il suo effetto virtuosistico.

    I’ve always appreciated your tempo selection on the more “fiery” pieces (like this Royer masterpiece).
    You always seem to pick the best tempo for the room that you’re in, so it doesn’t all seem muddled by the reverb. -Many other performers just go as fast as they can, and end up sounding like mush.
    Bravo! This is now one of my most favorite performances of Scythes! Fantastic setting, excellent sound design, and beautiful instrument.

      Per puro caso sono capitato su Pancrace Royer , questo pezzo tratto dall'opera sua Zaira mi intrigava: l'ho ascoltato dalle mani del Maestro Mencoboni e, alle prime note, sono saltato sulla sedia: Ma questo è Leonhard !! . Poi, letta la biografia di questo nostro straordinario musicista, ho capito : quattro anni passati a Amsterdam col grande maestro austriaco hanno lasciato la loro traccia. Gustav Leonhard Ho avuto il privilegio di ascorlo due volte : nel chiostro di Santo Spirito a Firenze e nella Cappella protestante del palazzo di Charles de Lorraine a Bruxelles. Celestiale, irripetibile esperienza.

    Bravissimo! great piece and perfect interpretation and performance. Not only you've brought the harpsichord to its extreem bounderies of technical capacity with this virtuoso piece, but you have found the way to show the piece's inner hidden profound meaning: by slowing a bit the tempo, stressing cerain places and other ways of expression.

    • @Amaranthslo
      @Amaranthslo 5 років тому +7

      I could not agree more. I hear mastery in this performance. Finding the inner spirit behind the notes. It feels effortless while it has so much power that goes beyond technical showmanship. It feels really great to see a musician so comfortable with a song. And yes I feel it is a song as it sings to me ;)

    • @miguelmarquez4192
      @miguelmarquez4192 5 років тому +3

      Someone mentioned on a much faster interpretation it was "muddy." Not knowing the piece i understand what you mean. There is so much to be heard and plenty fast. Rushing through it just makes so much noise you dont hear those special things you talk about. Maybe its my violist ear that has trouble hearing past the more metallic/plectrum sound. Sometimes thats all i hear when played too fast on right with clanking bass on the left.

      to my mind, it only makes sense as an ancillary piece to that of Rameau of the same title. If I am right about that, such literature could be called 'secondary'. I far prefer the 'original', but then I dislike ( read 'abominate and detest') music concerned (read 'conceited') with its own cleverness.

    Please write down how each string sounds separately. Open these .wav files for free access. To home any person on the computer to play on the MIDI keyboard with such an excellent sound.
    To record each string separately for 10 seconds will result in approximately 10 minutes of personal time spent. I take care of the rest of the sound processing.
    You just need to find a good microphone and a computer for recording and that's it. Send me a file in which the sound of individual strings I cut into separate files and process the equalizers and as a result a ready-made digital musical instrument.

    The technique is solid and pleasing to see. The accuracy is perfect. The musicianship is very deep. The instruments are good. The videos are well done in splendid spaces.
    Unless he is like Helmut Walcha, blind from birth, I cannot understand the utterly grotesque affectation he does with his face. His facial antics ruin every video for me. If he is blind, then I apologize and admire his considerable musical accomplishment.
