Oh my God, this is so different on a harpsichord. It's equally dramatic as it is fantastical. It's whimsical, yet emotional. It's an equal representation of both musical worlds. Favorited and liked for sure. I need to hear this so many times.
Monsieur Rondeau is in every way a gift to the world! A pupil of the late Blandine Verlet yet a deeply individual and sensitive artist in his own right with a magnificent command of technique and musical rhetoric. And dare I say, from my own limited but treasured communication with him myself, a humble and lovely guy. Thank you for being yourself, cher Jean - it's highly commendable and I love you! ❤️💐❤️
Monsieur je viens de vous découvrir sur Arte ce soir en même temps que cet instrument le clavecin dont je n était pas fan sauf depuis que je vous ai écouté quel son mélodieux et comme vous en jouer avec votre âme nous sommes en harmonie avec vous Bravo l ARTISTE MERCI POUR L ÉMOTION
La perfección existe. Y es esta interpretación del Maestro Rondeau, así como en todas las obras que he escuchado de él. Técnica, control de volumen, tempo y gran sensibilidad.
I love this extremely interesting interpretation of the improvisational side of Mozart’s Fantasy. I wish I had the audacity to play it more in this light at the piano. Thanks for such a creative approach.
C'est comme une redécouverte de cette fantaisie de Mozart. Et puis avec Rondeau, cela semble si facile.... et quelle intelligence. On dirait presque qu'il improvise.
I hadn't heard this piece on a harpsichord before...but it seems to fit perfectly. In fact, it even seems to fit in better than when played on a fortepiano! Perhaps it is the somewhat "Bachian" feel of the fantasia format? One wonders whether Mozart had the earlier instrument in mind? Rondeau is such a wonderful interpreter of the harpsichord...I never tire of listening to him. Quite a revelation!
People never seem to remember that, yes, Mozart is the consummate piano composer, but he only owned a piano for less than the last 10 years of his life. Yes, he had access to pianos before he owned one. But he probably played harpsichords for at least half to two thirds of his life, and would have been able to be appropriately expressive on any keyboard instrument he sat down at.
Even the pianos that he played sounded closer to harpsichords than to modern pianos. That being said, piano is an evolution of harpsichord.The first piano was literally called "harpsichord with loud and soft". I'm sure the modern piano sound is what Mozart was looking for, but couldn't get because the technology wasn't there yet.
@@ekklesiast I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Mozart thought the Stein pianos he tried when he was 18 were the epitome of keyboard instruments, and he made no complaint or wish for something else. It is all too easy to say, "but if he knew about a Steinway...". Mozart reacted to his "here and now" and, like many musicians both before him and after him, thought the musical tools they had were perfect for what they wanted at that time. So please do not say he had a modern piano sound in his head.
There are only a few musicians that I can listen to and be reminded of the glory of music: Jean Rondeau, Thomas Dunford + his ensemble and Lea Desandre. Recently I've listened to Fazil Say playing Debussy and Beethoven.
Wow! What an interpretation! And 'uncontrollable' controlled emotions? After all, it's Fantasy - and emotions can't be 'restrained', 'tethered'. I wonder how it sounded under Mozart's fingers on Stein's or Silbermann's piano?

I'd played this lovely little piece years ago on the piano. Yes, it has its own sparkle on the harpsichord. Yet, the piano allows subtleties in dynamics not apparent on the harpsichord.
Suena bien, pero los rasgos prerrománticos de esta pieza se reflejan mucho mejor en el piano. En el clave suena demasiado seco, parece más un Rameau que un Mozart. Y Mozart miraba más hacia adelante que hacia atrás...
Es nada más que su preferencia 😉 A mí me parece perfecto en el clave, nada de ‘demasiado seco’. La pieza no pierde su romantismo de manera alguna! Solo que no es excesivo 😅
It might be in fact too generous to the "piano" to say that this was composed for it. A piano from Mozart's time is probably right in the middle between a harpsichord and the current piano. The sound world produced by the instrument was still closer to the harpsichord, with the distinctiveness of producing dynamic gradation by touch. The common conception is that the piano is a more evolved fortepiano, which in its turn is the "break" from the harpsichord. I think the latter can be conceeded, but the former is very problematic. Just listen: Rachmaninov's piano is in fact more different from Mozarts fortepiano than Mozart's fortepiano to Bach's harpsichord. Even if the fortepiano and the modern piano have the same concept, their soundworlds could not be more different.
Oh dear that s second time I can read about too much rubato with this artist. First time it was for earlier music than this and I admit that there was a lot of rubato,... that made the performance so interesting! Here I don t even feel it. Mozart's music is full of sensitivity which absolutely must be conveyed somehow. Once again I find this performance of his top-rate. I think he is a remarkable artist.
It is a Fantasia. The style allows for pretty much anything. It should sound like he is making it up on the spot. And it does. So I think your comment actually misses the point of what the piece is.

Didn't expect this piece to sound better to me on harpsichord than on piano!
Nearly everything sounds better on a harpsichord 😅

I hear this piece anew. This is what great musicians do: Jean's artistry has refreshed my hearing and my appreciation of Mozart. Bravo!
Wow! This guy is amazing!
What feeling and technique. He brings Mozart to life in the 21st century.
De la musique pure, comme toujours et encore avec Jean Rondeau.
Une interprétation admirable, sensible, personnelle, d'une grande profondeur.
Wonderful, briliant Jean Rondeau. Bravo! ❤️🌹🌹🌹

That's one of my favorite keyboard pieces from Mozart. Great performance!
Quelle belle inspiration ! Mozart est ici servi par un musicien de talent. Merci Jean Rondeau !

I love 💕 him and his performances
Enfin l’expression juste de cette fantaisie. Les pianistes la saccagent les uns après les autres. Bravo !
@Carmina Burnout Alors vous vous devez être de l’âge moyen ou de l’école à ne pas comprendre ce qui est cette fantaisie dans l’œuvre de Mozart.

Beautiful, thanks Jean Rondeau
Bravo , thank you Jean 😅👏👏👏👏🙏☮️☮️☮️☮️😊😊😊😊
Very original interpretation, very Jean Rondeau indeed :-)
It's sounds better than with piano...
Great touch
Merci ! C'est une merveille🤩 !!!!
Bravo!!! 👏👏👏
Superb! I missed the live performance in Utrecht a while ago.
PRIMA PRIMISSIMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravó!
Interesting performance. I enjoyed so much.
Du Jean Rondeau tout craché ! C'est beau ! ... et que dire de Mozart !! :D

i'd love to know the builder of the instrument and temperament in use!
Господи , спасибо , что это можно слушать в этой жизни!
Bravo 😁😊
Merci. Je suis ému.
a revelation!
Wow - this is cool. Mozart was one of the few people at the time who really understood Johann Sebastian Bach.
Beautiful and pure.... 🥰🥰🥰 J'adore 💞💞💞❤️🎵💦🎼🎶🎶🎶💖🙏
Carl Philipp is not far away at all in this composition!

Zijn spel? Duizelingwekkend rijk!!
Mozart restitué !!!!
Jouez
Je ne sais pas quel est le tempérament utilisé pour cet enregistrement (égal ?) mais le clavecin ne sonne pas toujours trés juste, on dirait...
Great! but sounds like Bach, i like more on fortepiano for example.
Please Warner let him sometimes out of this dark cellar. He needs some sunlight and somebody with comb and scissors.
@KrisVanMoerbei - Try listening with your eyes closed if his hairiness offends.

Fact: Actually, this is a piano composition.
who cares ?

Paint it black
Quite strange sounds from such a piano forte...?
*_That's because it's a '"Piano" 'Fifte' ..._*
Because that’s a harpsichord
Very self indulgent, unfortunately.
What do you mean?
@@fredvacher3998 Isn't it obvious? Far, far too much rubato...
