    A wonderful short film about playing this music by Sweelinck in the austere environment of this little church. It is fascinating to see this little clavichord brought into the church in it's case and then having complex music played on it with a full sonority and clarity of the musical parts and echo effects . Afterwards it is neatly put back into it's case and taken out of the church ! A great video ............ thanks !

    I enjoyed your playing very much. I like this organ music .Sweelinck has many
    popular organ music.“Mein Junges Leben hat ein End” “Echo Fantasia SwWV275”
    “Ballo del Granduca”... But I believe this ECHO FANTASIA is his masterpiece .
    So I enjoyed .thank you.from Japan.

    This is amazing. I love this music. Great playing and very rich sound! The echo effects work nicely too! I remember a morning listening to most of Sweelinck works played on a 17th century Ruckers while staring at Bruegel's painting (I have a book with most of his paintings), it was a time-travelling experience. These dutch men were so colourful and playful yet so fragile and introvert. It's like they tried to portrait an imaginary better world through their art. Yet I always sense that there is a sense of doubt and sorrow in this art, like if they knew perfectly that their time was limited and judgement would have come for them one day. There's always some implicit bitternes. I wonder if you like Frescobaldi and in general the italian school of that era. That is in my opinion some of the deepest music ever written. His toccatas, ricercare and fiori musicali would sound great on this instrument. Thanks for this marvelous recording!

      For me, as a Dutchman, it has always been difficult to clearly perceive what is typically Dutch in Dutch art. It takes the eyes and ears of a foreigner. But gradually I've come to realize we, like all nations and cultures, have the virtue of our defects. Stolidity, impassiveness? Are we boring? Maybe so. But there's this unostentatious intimacy. Solidity, modest but persistent inquiry.

  • @achenpigeon
    @achenpigeon 8 лет назад +1

    Sweelinck's in every way my favorite composer, and I must say that you do the master justice!
    As for your description of his music... it is perfect. I've never been to one of these large Dutch churches, but I've seen plenty of the paintings depicting their interiors from the 17th century: so quiet and humble, yet so utterly magnificent, just like Sweelinck's music.

      I love how in some parts of the piece, you're almost dancing while playing!
      I'm curious how you would play this piece on the organ - how would you register it? It seems like most, with a three-manual organ, would start off with principals on hauptwerk and then contrast the principals of ruckpositif with those of the oberwerk (or brustwerk) during the echo section.

      Wim, I've listened to this a few more times this late afternoon (after a terrible time with my pre-teen daughter!!!! argh!) and noticed a few things... is that red-curtain up in the front row for your recording or because of Advent time? 2ndly wondering how interesting a comparison would be between a short-octave ruckers harpsichord and this lovely clavichord recording... again it's just the musicologist in me maybe... nothing is wrong, and yet nothing is "right". Would be simply interesting... even a small Chappel like that and a short octave copy would be acoustically very interesting to compare. Maybe it's my love for this composer and the music of his time... thanks again for sharing!

  • @ml57uk
    @ml57uk 8 лет назад +1

    Fantastic as usual. For my taste, an instrument like this and its repertoire would be a fabulous addition to Authentic Sound. I was also very happy to see this for another reason - a copy of this exact instrument is being build for me right now for delivery in the late spring!
    PS: another vote here for no overlaid sounds on the playing.

    You looked quite comfortable playing the small clavichord while standing. Do you know if it was traditional to play it standing? I'm really enjoying your performances of Sweelinck. Thanks

    • @AuthenticSound
      @AuthenticSound  6 лет назад +3

      In organ playing it kind of was in earlier times practice to sometimes only have a small support at the 'Ruck positive". Challenge is to have your arm weight applied in the right way, so moving the upper body is required. Great to know it looks good, but in fact it's quite difficult!

    @williamhuband7913 8 лет назад +1

    P.S. - I'd love to hear the same piece played on your large Saxon style Clavichord. I'm
    guessing that with the "longer" sonority of particularly the base, that it would sound
    quite dramatically different.
    Regards & compliments of the season.

    • @AuthenticSound
      @AuthenticSound  8 лет назад +1

      Thanks Bill, and glad you liked this!
      Sweelinck and the Saxon instrument: it is really no good match, I cannot find a way to get the sound right. That might sound strange, but the instrument feels as playing on a Steinway suddenly (don't tell Joris :-) ). I have not figured out why, it lacks a kind of intensity, that these little clavichords do have.
      But it would be subject for a q&A, I'll think about that!

    If I'm not mistaken, you've chosen to keep the reverbs that you've experimented with previously. Is that right?
    In any case, it's wonderfully played and mixed. This instrument really has a lot of sweetness to it, which I think is a wonderful characteristic. I'd love to hear more fretted clavichords, if you can get your hands on some! And perhaps play them in your improvised studio, so we really can get a full sense of the characteristics of these wonderful instruments.

    • @AuthenticSound
      @AuthenticSound  8 лет назад

      Thanks, really glad you liked this. Yes, I kept the same balance and added a tiny bit of reverb. In the next recording, the mic's are positioned somewhat further away, will be nice to hear your reaction on that.

    Very beautiful, but the background noise in the beginning (when the music starts) is very distracting.

    • @AuthenticSound
      @AuthenticSound  8 лет назад

      I understand, it is a compromise, since having a video intro where the player is not instantly playing (as we normally have), it is kind of weird also to not have those background sounds. Some listeners even asked me to open the sound for the home recordings here when I sit down at the instrument. The last part of the trilogy will not have this 'issue', promise !

      Echo Fantasia, SwWV 261: imslp.org/wiki/Echo_Fantasia%2C_SwWV_261_(Sweelinck%2C_Jan_Pieterszoon)
      I've found it as "Echo Fantasia XI" too.

      That's weird, it seems that "Echo Fantasia, SwWV 261" is another echo fantasia but the music sheet in the link is indeed of this one!
