Ofcourse it will take most people 50 years to recognize this performance. But I'll say it now. This is legendary stuff. The way Pierre Hantaï delivers this blows my mind out of solar orbit.

"Great Harpsichordist" is - an understatement.
This is the best recording of the Goldberg Variations I've heard on any instrument.
For the direct music skip to 6:40
The harpsichord is an anonymous French one built by a master of the Rhone valley.(c.1700) and restored years ago by the great and famous Italian harpsichord maker Franco Barucchieri. It is a fine example of a French instrument, intended to imitate the flemish tradition. I don't know the compass, but it seems to be SOL 0 - RE 5 (“petit ravalement”). The instrument is tuned in A = 392 Hz, which is the baroque French pitch.
StylusFantasticus71 I very much like the lower pitch. There is less harshness in the higher notes.
Hantaï a un sens du rythme et du phrasé qui donne un élan et une souplesse que je ne retrouve chez aucun autre claveciniste. Quelle aisance...
Quel distributeur de nôtes ...
Listening to Hantai makes you understand the harpsichord and the
practice of his playing.
Glorious!!
Most straightforward and joyful version of the Goldberg Variations..period!
One of the best recordings -- ever -- of the Goldberg Variations on the harpsichord. Magnificent.
The ability to simply play hundreds of different interpretations of Bach's GV, and others, on various instruments with a few finger presses is akin to absolute wizardry for 99 per cent of every human that ever lived.
What a time to be alive.
pourquoi cette musique me fait-elle autant de bien?
c'est aussi beau qu'un chant d'oiseaux un matin ensoleillé
merci monsieur Hantaï (et JSB)
This video makes the case for Bach on the harpsicord like no other recording I have heard. I love the richness and clarity of the Taskin style harpsicord when the two eight foot manuals are coupled and the bass line is more clearly defined on a harpsicord than on a piano. There is no way this playing would send me to sleep.
Howard Marshall There is only one instrument better than a Goermans/Taskin and that’s a Dulcken!
@@jimbo2629 Do you have any examples of a Dulcken recording? I have been looking for one, and I have come up short.
@@zacharybond23 there are some good videos on YT of Korneel Bernolet playing some Couperin L’art de Toucher on a Dulcken in a museum in Antwerp.
@@makotojames-organandharpsi1195 Could you please link one such video? I also should have been more specific. I also meant recordings of the Goldberg Variations. I have found only one, by Gustav Leonhardt.
Pierre Hantai reste pour moi le meilleur interprète pour ces 30 variations Goldberg.
Qui sont d'un niveau musical assez élevé.
"Mon cher Goldberg, pour tromper mon insomnie, jouez-nous une de vos merveilleuses variations"!
Et le petit Goldberg, âgé seulement de 14 ans, de s'exécuter.
Effectively, after some research, this harpsichord looks like the one played by Scott Ross in 1989 at the Villa Medicis (french academy of arts) for the french TV program "Une leçon de clavecin particulière" . It is indicated as a french harpsichord by anonymous (ca 1700). Nevertheless, Villa Medicis exhibits a keyboard instruments collection (harpsichord, organ, piano) in which the Soumagnac's one acquired in 2003
i just wanted to see how he played the first aria .... now i'm almost at the end of the variations haha! this rendition is incredibly good . Comme j'aime le clavecin !
ce musique est addictive, ma favorite
The performance starts at circa 6:50.
9:12 my favorite
Veramente Grande clavicembalista fedele alla partitura tecnica straordinaria e grande sensibilità.
Sooo glad I was asked to look for this!! Kinda speechless after watching & listening... sigh.......
Straordinario.
I lose a lot of sleep listening to Hantai's Goldberg. It puts a spell on you. It brings Leonhardt's rhythmic, jazzy Bach to mind. Fantastic!
Sublime, elegant, truthful. Love Pierre Hantaï's mastery and selflessness. The rhythmic flexibility and phrasing sounds much more warm and expressive to me than the average pianistic way of delivering this master piece, no to mention the tuning. Sounds more... intimate even for an instrument with "apparent" limitations compared to the piano.
Don't get me wrong, i can equally enjoy piano renditions in the hands of Tureck, Schiff and so many other great musicians.
Also, some of the fingerings and ways of distributing some passages are striking. Quite a learning opportunity here. Thanks for using youtube for the best of best.
Right you are. I started listening to solo harpsichord only recently (with the help of fine headphones), and I appreciate the individuality and expressiveness the great players bring to this instrument.
Bach. Hantaï. 'nuff said.
A melhor versão das Variações sem sombra de dúvida.
Tiago Cysne, concordo plenamente.
Mendelssohn
MAGNIFIQUE ! Merci pour ce moment magique.
Under the hands of Pierre Hantai clavecin comes to life !!! Tepper Michael.
Quite marvelous. Thank you for sharing.
Having watched/listened to a lot of performances, one thing that is interesting is how often harpsichordists take more moderate tempi than pianists. It becomes a much less breathless and richer experience. The variety of texture and articulation here (never mind the glorious sound) is stunning.
I have listened to perhaps 20 versions of this work, many good, many very good, but still, Hantai's on harpsichord, and Hewitt's on modern piano are my most favourites.
I love this version and had the pleasure of hearing Hewitt live ( the live performance was even better than her recorded one).
I just heard the beauty and the divinity.
thanks for the uploading
Erstaunlich und magisch !!! Amazing and magical !!! Tepper Michael.
Lovely rich tone. Wonderful playing
best Goldberg interpretation out there
Uno de los mejores clavecinistas de nuestro tiempo! Me fascinan sus interpretaciones de J. S. Bach!
great to have such a wonderful harpshochord interpretation of our time.
Magnificent performance.
J'aiime la clavecin aussi! Einfach nur grandios! Thanks for uploading!
EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND EXCELLENT FILMING OF THE HANDS
damn bro this is a great experience to hear and see this
beautiful!!
Una obra sublime... de las tantas que nos lego Juan Sebastian Bach... y el maestro Pierre la lleva a lo mas alto... como lo disfrutare hoy 15 de Noviembre de 2021 en el Teatro Colon de Bogota.
While I do not know the provenance of this instrument I can tell you that, visually, it appears to be the same instrument that was played by Scott Ross in a film made shortly before he died in 1989 which means that it could not possibly have been purchased by Soumagnac in 1993. You should be able to find that video on RUclips by searching for "Scott Ross".
Man, I love this !
Sounds wonderful! :)
Love love the instrument! Some very poetic sounds.
Also am really enjoying Hantai’s playing here. I often find his agogics a bit too severe but here he is really hitting the spot for me.
That's awesome!
Pierre Hantaï, né à Paris le 28 février 1964, est un claveciniste et chef d'orchestre français.
Biographie
Fils du peintre Simon Hantaï, il découvre la musique de Johann Sebastian Bach à l'âge de dix ans et les enregistrements de Gustav Leonhardt à l'âge de onze ans. Il commence l'apprentissage du clavecin dès l'âge de onze ans en autodidacte avant de rencontrer son premier professeur, le claveciniste américain Arthur Haas[1],Il poursuit ses études à Amsterdam durant deux années avec Gustav Leonhardt En 1983, il remporte le deuxième prix au Concours international du Festival de musique ancienne de Bruges.
Parmi ses disques les plus connus sont ses deux enregistrements des Variations Goldberg (1993, 2003) et sa « non-intégrale » des sonates de Domenico Scarlatti. À la suite d'un premier enregistrement pour Astrée en 1993, il enregistre six disques des recitals de Scarlatti pour le label Mirare entre 2002 et 2019. Sa discographie comprend un enregistrement du premier livre du Clavier bien tempéré, trois enregistrements consacrés aux toccates et suites de Bach et des albums de Frescobaldi et Couperin.
En tant que soliste, il est reconnu internationalement et joue aux festivals comme La Roque d'Anthéron, La Folle Journée de Nantes, Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, le Boston Early Music Festival, à Carnegie Hall, à la Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, et à Hakuju Hall à Tokyo.
En 1985, il fonde son propre ensemble, le Concert Français, qu'il dirige du clavecin ou de l'estrade.Il se produit en compagnie de ses deux frères, Marc et Jérôme, au sein du Trio Hantaï. En 1991, il participe avec son frère Jérôme à l'enregistrement de la bande-son du film Tous les matins du monde. Il a joué dans La Petite Bande sous la direction de Sigiswald Kuijken et continue à jouer avec Jordi Savall, Amandine Beyer, Hugo Reyne et Maude Gratton. Il a collaboré avec plusieurs chefs-d'orchestre, dont Philippe Herreweghe et Marc Minkowski.
Insightful playing. There's something to learn from his analysis here.
Magnifica l’esecuzione e molto interessante l’introduzione
Superlative!
I like how everyone here is presenting their own personal point of view as if it was a universal truth that everyone should agree on
And crying about all those comments are even lamer, not alot of ppl are seeing them anyways
And your opinion certainly not
@@mhdfrb9971 The only opinion I shared was certainly not presented as a universal truth.
@@jonasdaverio9369 people free to express their opinion you know. When did they say their opinion are universal truth?
Thanks. I've found some infos which didn't tally yours. This harpsichord was bought in 1993 by the french restorer Laurent Soumagnac to a french owner at the Paris exhibition "Musicora". It was an uncomplete ruin whose stand was transformed into a bridge table.
This restorer found a signature "DF" under the soundboard. The measurements and design conclude a harpsichord by François Donzelague of Lyon (ca1700). A ravalement was done in 1748 by the french builder Joseph Collesse in Lyon, etc...
Fijense en el 12:52 es la quinta variación, vean la comodidad con la que lo toca Hantai al hacerlo en un clavecin de 2 teclados (el instrumento para el que fue escrita), sin necesidad de dar saltos o agitarse como Gould al hacerlo en un piano.
Rupert Tmls no es lo mismo tocar un piano que un clavicembalo, las técnicas son distintas.
Felipe Taboada creo que precisamente eso es lo que está dando a entender Rupert. En cualquier caso ambas versiones son excelentes, la de piano y la de clavecin
Merci ☺️
Very interesting introduction,
Great!!!
veramente fantastico
fantastique
Grande Francesco che hai postato questo video :) Un abbraccio forte!
+chiara massini Ciao, Chiara carissima! Un abbraccione, e a presto, spero!
Great music, loved this song when I heard it in the movie "Stupeur et tremblements".
+Leon Cocco This is indeed great music. BTw, it is not a song. A song is a piece of vocal music; this is an instrumental piece and therefore does not have words as you have in a song.
+Bill Teichman My humble apologies haha. I will never refer to this again as a "song", but as a piece of exquisite music then :)
The way he moves his hands and fingers... AllofBach should have gotten Hantai for the Goldbergs.
Rondeau is no joke though
They got Hantaï for other stuff
原始大鍵琴的版本原來是這種氣氛.謝謝.
Goldbdber alumno favorito de JC. Bach. 🤩🖐️
Laurent Soumagnac initiated the instrument restoration / rebuillding in 2000 and finished it to a working harpsichord in 2003 but he didn't restore the paintings. The pitch was then la3 = 407 Hz as in the 18th century french baroque period.
The ravalement by Collesse added 3 notes on the bass and 2 notes on the treble without any enlargement of the case.
Probably the tuscan restorer Franco Barucchieri completed the restoration and assumed the tuning and the maintenance.
My first time heaaring him . I see why he has areputation .Remarkable music - making here !
Surtout ne pas manquer le commentaire, très éclairant.

Music start here ...your welcome 🌸🌸🌸
This guy is the best thing music has given us since Glenn Gould left in 1982.
AHAH no.
What is a “gould”?
People who hold up Gould as the ne plus ultra of Bach playing are lovers neither of Bach nor, really, of classical music generally. Gould's mannerisms, eccentricities and downright unmusicality have corrupted several generations of listeners. I can only hope that magnificent performers like Mr Hantaï will readjust people's jaded and wayward tastes, and that a shameful period in the history of recorded music can finally be put behind us.
@@jasonhurd4379 of course you're right and your opinion should be presented and accepted as a universal truth, of course
Quel réjouissement d'entendre ces Variations Goldberg interprétées par le talentueux Pierre Hantai et de bénéficier d'explications claires et détaillées en français sur la genèse et l'organisation de cette œuvre géniale. Le seul petit reproche serait de ne pas avoir joué les reprises.
"Stylus Fantasticus71" have you further infos to give on this original harpsichord (builder , country, design, compass, pitch, temperament and date).
Many thanks.
Oui, c'est étonnant, je l'ai vu 2 fois jouer les Goldberg et, comme sur ses versions studio, il a toujours joué les reprises.
❤
Well, now we are sure that the instrument was built by a master of the Rhone Valley around 1700, and we know his name. I am sure, however, that even the Tuscan Franco Barucchieri has put his hands on the harpsichord, perhaps for a finalization, as this information occurs in various sources, including the books of some CDs.Thank you for your important contribution!
There is always a comment about Gould.
Talvez a melhor execução das variações.
프랑스 하프시코드 주자인 피에르 앙타이는 지성과 뛰어난 기교와 즐거움이 잘 조화를 이룬 연주가 무엇인지를 보여준다. 피상적인 연주가 아닌 이성과 지성이 조화를 이루는 동시에 곡이 지닌 시심(詩心)을 자연스러우면서도 원칙을 잘 지켜가며 표현했다.

la variation sur la sixte me fait presque toujours croire en Dieu
39:35 - 43:46
P.Hantaï a élaboré une technique tout particulier - ce qui indique au moins une génialité - … mais je ne sais pas si cela fonctionne sur le clavichord ?
C'est une erreur que de dire qu'il y a 32 variations Goldberg.
Il y en a 31.
Il ne faut pas compter l'aria.
;Bravo pierre car c'est sur un clavecin à deux claviers que cette pièce a été créée et non sur un piano .Vous êtes pour moi la référence .Bravo .J'aime glen gould mais je préfère largement votre version qui est conforme à celle que bach a imaginé ;De plus votre phrasé est magnifique un peu de romantisme mais pourquoi pas !
wow. bravissimo

Heaven
Are you Crazy to interrupt this concert with ads?!?! Mitten im Satz??
Great. Shame about no repeats though, double the pleasure.
True, and strange, he generally plays them.
I actually prefer it without the repeats :D
This is absolutely not the instrument owned by Mr. Soumagnac. This istrument is the property of Accademia di Francia, Villa Medici, Rome.
Calm down

Lo que está escrito para clave, no suena bien en piano. Es como tocar un concierto de violín con un clarinete.
Nunca me gustó la interpretación de Glenn Gould; pero para algunos Gould es considerado como el 'PLUS ULTRA'
I like this a lot, but i think that if Bach would be able to listen to Glenn, he would be proud too...
Or not.
No, he wouldn't.
@@maetes54 you have strictly no idea what one of the greatest composer of all time would think if he had lived 220 years more
Avevo letto che Hantai aveva eseguito le variazioni Golberg a Merano, credo al Kursaal. Ora lo ascolto qui ; prima vorrei esclamare la grandezza di questa musica al Clavicembalo a 2 manuali. Tuttavia ci sono video di questa musica di Andras Shiff e di altri pianisti che eseguono a memoria . Pensavo che anche i claviembalisti di grido eseguissero a memoria , invece vedo che il libercolo fa capolino appoggiato su un leggio chiuso , ma sempre come se fosse sul leggio.
+Camillo Flaim Limitiamo il repertorio ma eseguiamo a memoria come tanti organisti e pianisti eseguono la loro musica. Personalmente mi dedico di più a comporre sia per tastiera per musica da camera e sinfonica come altri grandi hanno composto . Qualche mia composizione può essere paragonata tranquillamente ad altre composizioni di noti musicisti vissuti sia per tastiera musica da camera o sinfonica , anche se in stile.
Camillo Flaim E chi lo dice che non si può usare lo spartito? il dottore?
Si può usare , ma si sembra più ai primi albori dello studio invece di essere concertisti
come appare da molti pianisti e organisti stranieri ormai.
Camillo Flaim Bah, il maestro Hantai non ha certo bisogno di dimostrare nulla. peraltro tra gli specialisti di barocco l'uso dello spartito è molto diffuso.
Non sono mai riuscito a capire quale differenza faccia, per noi ascoltatori, che l'esecutore suoni a memoria o legga. S. Richter, se non erro, leggeva sempre e voleva anche una luce particolare e diretta sul leggio. Pollini ha eseguito a Torino, in una memorabile serata, il libro primo del clav. ben temp., tutto a memoria, ma aveva fatto preannunciare che non voleva essere disturbato da applausi e che non ci sarebbe stato intervallo, mentre poi a metà ha interrotto e si è recato (quasi di corsa) in camerino, evidentemente per dare un'occhiata alla partitura, cosa che nulla ha tolto alla magia della serata al teatro Regio, anzi! Il quartetto italiano per molto tempo ha suonato a memoria e, se ho bene inteso un accenno che fece Elisa Pegreffi in un'intervista, lo considerava un merito. Che ricordare la partitura a memoria sia indice di studio approfondito, oltre che di capacità mnemoniche forse straordinarie, è vero. Ma si può preferire di leggere per mille ragioni, senza che ciò sia indice di superficialità. Quello che conta è il risultato interpretativo. Nel caso di Hantai a me pare che si tratti di una grandissima esecuzione. Il difficile del clavicembalo è ovviamente dare espressione, per gli ovvi limiti dello strumento. A me pare che Hantai ci riesca al massimo grado. Mi ricorda Walcha, che ci ha lasciato anche lui una grande esecuzione. Ma Hantai si avvale di una tecnica di registrazione moderna, che certamente giova. Comunque le Goldberg ogni volta che le ascolti ti lasciano stupefatto. In ogni esecuzione si scopre un proprio bello, che magari in precedenza non si era colto. Bello poi il gesto di Hantai, misurato quasi fino ad ostentare una sorta di consustanziazione tra la mano e la tastiera. Talento immenso.
The piano is a beautiful instrument, but I think it diminishes Bach's brilliance when his pieces are played on one. His music played on a harpsichord, as it should be, is like a mathematical orgasm.
Hören Sie einmal Bach Suiten von W. Backhaus, Klavier, absolut mitreißend, ohne Romantik, voller Freude, so finde ich es sonst nirgends.
