I like Mortensen‘s interpretation a lot but I still prefer Staier‘s, although the style is similar. Rousset‘s and Rondeau‘s interpretations are too slow for me.
It's a Fantasy with repetition of the word in manner of Toccata (fantasia ripetendo parole in modalità toccata), as played by Mortensen - a unique ever but greatest mode how to combine your musical sensation with Bach itself!
He totally invented rock music as a teenager. I find it quite remarkable that some musicologists out there still deny the obvious. Calling Bach a baroque composer is very short-sighted. We know based on crystal clear evidence that he regularly jumped a century or two forward in time. Bach is the Dr Who of music.
I can't say which is the best between the interpretation of Lars and Mencoboni; in their interpretations there are similar aspects but also very different... There are different but both perfect! Greetings
@@giacomocasabianca5732 Both are worth equal reverence! I find myself listening to different interpretations depending on mood. Sometimes one might want fast and flashy, other times more lyrical and contemplative.
The style of this piece is remarkably similar to that of Duphly's music. Quite a good evidence of Bach being well informed about his contemporaries' compositional techniques during his lifetime.
Duphly was born in 1715 -- 30 years after Bach. BWV 922 is surely an early work, influenced by North German models composed in the stylus fantasticus and probably composed before Duphly was born, at which time Bach was 30 and, like most German composers of that time, under the spell of the Italian concerto style with its ritornelli. Assuming Duphly began composing at age 20, Bach would have been 50.
I would say morw like Dietrich Buxtehude...this is definitely a "Style Phantasticus" that Bach studied when he was young, starting in his early teens, as was recently discovered when there were some compositions he'd copied when he was just 15 years old and was studying compositions of Georg Bohm. This is definitely "Rock and Rolla" Bach when he was in his early 20's(like the keyboard toccatas)..Duphly wasn't even a WIP (work in progress) at the time! :P
If I remember correctly, it was common concert etiquette to play with sheet music, even if it is not needed. I will strap a "citation needed," on this, however.
But just because they play with sheet music, does not mean that they are poor musicians. It is good to have sheet music, in case you have a memory slip, and some people are highly skilled at sight-reading.
The best interpretation I have listened to so far. I think this is the perfect tempo to play this piece.
take a look at Jean Rondeau's version ;)

Aldrig har jeg hørt et så overbevisende spil på cembalo. Bravo.
Until now, the Alfred Brendel version on piano was my top go to. This is fabulous!
Would have loved to be there in the audience. Unfortunately my lotnumber was not the right one :-( What a maestro!
... without doubt - a mad harpsichordist (from the positive side of the word "mad", of-course :) )!
His conducting is mad (wonderful) too ! He´s a gem !

Gorgeous!
Absolute genius
Amazing!

Bach is the Dr Who of music.
This is light rock compared to Handel's harpsichord music!
@@RodCorkin no
What an excellent way of putting it 👍😃
The best version of this song.
Yesss! Bravo Mortensen!
Brillant!
Nice and virtuoso interpretation. To be compared with Marco Mencoboni's, perhaps more « recitativo » and who is playing with eyes wide shut

Formidabelt spillet!
intellektueel, fyn, kleurryk en besielend
Wow!
@SteVladherman Warmest regards, thank you. Bach inspires me the most of all composers.
GOTT DAMN! 1:20 - 1:35 was bad ass.

I wrote a really ridiculous comment, as I can judge from the information from replies. I'm so ashamed. 😂
@@herrickinman9303 Yes it is the influence of Buxtehude Composition Year, 1710-14? when Duphly was not born yet.
@@TarquiniusRus Don´t be ashamed.Your comment triggered all that information! So: thx :D
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
3:48 sooooo coool! i'm stealing that
Okay. I noticed that cadence now. That is cool.
this piece is not solved really?
Somebody slipped Bach a little hash for that one. Definitely not your austere Sebastian.
A piece composed for himself by the then young and obviously very hungry Bach, who wanted to „shock“ and showcase his harpsichord skills
Back keys?
Again pls but very slower thank u if u can x
Why do the keyborard artists all play with the music sheet? I think that's a shame

This is a terrible piece to play by memory
I guess you don’t play yourself, because then you knew why…
@@zacharybond23 I like playing with sheet music, even if I know the piece by memory
Too fast
Too fast. The middle section sounds silly. Completely misses the spirit of the composition.
Amazing!
👏👏👏👏
