- Harpsichordist Elaine Comparone performs Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata in C minor, K. 48, L. 157 on her 2-manual harpsichord built by William Dowd in 1968. for more information: www.harpsichord.org; www.lyrichord.com.
The best harpsichord experience possible: Comparone playing Scarlatti! Always! Thank you again miss Elaine Compare!
The magic touch of him, Scarlatti: specialy the cross over hand chords ! Beautifull melodic line.....
I love them both. ( Carl Philip Emanuel is one of my favorites also.) Each one feels different in the hand, while Domenico and C.P.E. feel the most natural and comfortable for me. Johann Sebastian can be awkward under the hand, because he frequently tries to express the ideal, which can sometimes feel impossible until you work out careful fingerings.
Absolutely Amazing.
it reminds me of a classical piece transposed to 8 bit sound. its amazing. I've never heard this instrument before, and i absolutely love it.
And we do see that Elaine is STANDING at the instrument. A unique musician and performer in many ways!!
Very fantastic. Thank very much Mrs.Comparone for your performance.
Awesome performance. :-)
I love the way the fingers and hands dance when playing Scarlatti. It's much different from other composers.
Wonderful both music and your playing.
My most sincere congratulations, and thank you for sharing.
@ecomparone
I love your playing Mz Comparone
Wonderful! I can't praise this enough. 5 stars!
it was brilliant, you opened the doors for me to the world of beautiful music. Thank you very much for this.
You're more than welcome!!!
My god, you are amazing!!
:D It's great to hear her play. And I love the sound of this harpsichord.
always amazing to hear her play :D
This has to be one of the best harpsichords and harpsichordist around
WOOOW! I love Scarlatti too! Never seen a standing performance before. I LOVE your playing... risky, fearless, and at the same time so disciplined! PLEASE ADOPT ME! :)
Outstanding, its a treat to hear Scarlatti played so well
brilliant.
Quelle merveille !
Impresionante
Really nice!

Ich liebe es
J. S. communicates family love and the love of God. Domenico is more about the love of sensual life itself. Carl Philipp Emanuel enjoys expressing himself in ways that are surprising and different. Talk is cheap. My website has a discography. I recommend "Bach With Pluck" and my "Cat's Fugue" if you really want to know how I feel about these guys.
Que buena es!
Gifted musician and exhilarating performance!
Please provide more of your work.
CLAUDIO COLOMBO = The best Scarlatti performance EVER
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Harpsichord sound does take getting used to, it's "an acquired taste" (like Metallica, LOL!) For those criticizing the sound as not sounding right, please keep in mind the instrument Ms. Comparone is playing i set to "meantone" which is not modern tuning. based on C major, the more you deviate from it the more "funky" the notes sound. Scarlatti goes all over the keyboard, so thus, you get a very strange sounding piece sometimes.
Fabulous performance. I wonder if we are related. My name is Raphael Comprone. I heard that our family name was changed from Comparone to Comprone a long time ago. My great-grandfather Anthony Comprone married Elvira Comprone, and my grandfather's name was John Joseph Comprone. My father, Joseph John Comprone, was a college professor and a dean at the University of Connecticut. I am still trying to trace my family's roots back to Italy. It seems that the Comprones came from Caserta, Italy (maybe Carinaro or Riardo Italy).
I wouldn't be surprised if we are related! I traveled to Riardo about ten years ago and met the relatives. Love to tell you about it. We should talk. I' don't feel like writing it all
down. I'm in NYC. Where are you?
Mesmo quem nada entenda de Música achará isto sublime.
O entendimento do BELO é intuitivo.
Não carece de estudo.
@ecomparone
I love JS Bach and Domenico Scarlatti, CPE is OK, but in my book not in the same league as his dad or DS, but I like Comparone and whatever she says is OK.
@ecomparone
How difficult do you find interpreting C.P.E. Bach's music on the harpsichord compared to the clavichord? For me the clavichord was "his" instrument in the way he uses dynamics, and the way he phrases his music. The harpsichord I find is too dry for his sonatas. Yet it's perfect for his father's works and for those of Scarlatti, and other contemporaries.
Comparone, do you prefer playing Bach or Scarlatti?
may i ask why the sound case was closed for this performance?
It wasn't closed. It was open, like for the other sonatas in this program.
@@ElaineComparone oh the jackrail made it look closed in the recording now that i look closer i can see it
@@menialharpsichordist553 Good!!
@@ElaineComparone oh i didn't mean to be rude i apologies i just thought it was something that was used for added affect, and i was interested if it was something i could incorporate into my own music to make it sound better,
@@menialharpsichordist553 You weren't at all rude! Please don't worry!! Lid up is always best !
tetrls !!!!!!!

I am a banana! :j
Sorry but this has to be said...Elaine, shall I slap Graham Fitch for you or would you like to do it yourself?! (In case you hadn't noticed he left a rude comment below that made my blood boil, and not just here either! As you might say in the States...what a jerk! Anyway, as someone that is neither deaf, as he put it(fortunately) or your friend (unfortunately), I think your playing is beautiful (loving the recent Haydn posts by the way!) and from the dozens and dozens of positive comments here and elsewhere so do most other people. Don't listen to idiots like him (I'm sure that you don't anyway). Keep up the great work! Hey, I'm just wondering what you're moving onto after the Haydn project is done, really looking forward to your next offering, whatever it may be!
Chris Benton Thanks for your hearty defense, Chris! My playing is far from perfect (even while I aspire to perfection!) but I think I communicate the musical essentials. I didn't see the offending post, but that's not important. In answer to your query, I'm ready to post two Preludes and Fugues by JSB from Book II of the WTC. I'm just waiting for my engineer to give me a date. We'll record at my place this time. No schlepping of the instrument. Actually, the acoustics in my place are quite good. Thank you again!!
Elaine Comparone You're very welcome, Elaine! I think for me, in my own playing, perfection is more than just getting all the right notes (although I do try!) I think of the number of times I have heard or seen performances, (and particularly with composers like Bach and Scarlatti, perhaps due to all those relentless semiquavers etc) which are pitch and rhythmically perfect but just left me cold and feeling they lacked something. A bit of soul and passion maybe? A little bit of playing 'on the edge' so to speak? I hear that passion in your playing, and that's what inspires me. I hope it all goes well with the Bach, Elaine - I can't wait to hear it!
Mais pourquoi elle bourrine sur son clavecin comme ça ? Je suis sûr que c'est une pianiste qui s'est reconvertie tardivement dans le clavecin. L'interprétation de Pierre Hantaï, ou de Scott Ross c'est ...... un peu autre chose quand même
