The reality is that they were born just after a major shift in musical instrument technology, and had the talents to exploit that. A huge core of what established Bach as a master was that his patron owned one of the most advance organs in the world, and hired Bach to compose and perform music on it. Handel took what he learned in Germany, and told the English Crown what instruments and skilled musicians he needed to make hos music.
It's a matter of right time, right place just like Steve Jobs and Woz and Bill Gates coming out of California in the 50s. These magnificent musicians were born in Europe at the beginning of the Baroque
The challenge took place in 1709. It was organised by Prince Francesco Maria Marescotti Ruspoli, under the auspices of Cardinal Ottoboni. The first session took place at the harpsichords, in the Ruspoli palace, and was essentially a tie, although Haendel made it tricky by playing while holding his hat under his arm, without dropping it. The second challenge was held at the organ of St. John Lateran. It was won by Haendel, due to his familiarity with the pedal board, which was not very common on Italian organs. The one at the Lateran had it, as well as two keyboards with keys broken on chromatic, i.e. with 'mesotonic' tuning. (honestly, I found this is information on the net)
I have been playing this two or three times a week since I found it a few months ago. Please do more of these (yes, I've listened to the Folia many times since it was posted) . . . Love not only the musical performances but also the acting . . .
I was there on the first row. Epic AF. There is actually a painting where I can be seen, next to my good buddy, George and de' Medici boyz hyping up behind.
🙂 That's so great to hear! And I can tell you a secret: a part 2 is coming this summer! (And it will probably feature other instruments than harpsichords)
i mean they're still great but sound so much better on the instrument they're written for; so many people try to play soft and "beautiful" but that was very rarely the intent@@michellebelle2135
Nice Händel quote. Because George didn't frequent soirees, he didn't know that no one wins a duel. Duels were an excuse for aristocrats to drink to excellent live music while hurling insults at the other "team" in what could be called musical roasts. The teams were either friends or else the aristocrats would divvy up on the spot. So the winner was never really official.
I love how they’re struggling harder to make grumpy faces rather than playing. So smooth, they manage to make it look so effortless 🤭 lovely and funny. Both recordings are delightful.
I often wonder why we think that "feelings" and "passion" didn't exist before Romanticism? The only thing that didn't exist before Romanticism was egotistical self-enhancement! Narcissism was born when we ditched the "gentleman/gentlewoman's craft ethic", not emotion. Emotion was there forever in music.
@@pamelaschutz1248 well, i was referring to the fact that feelings often are not represented in the music before romantic period while in this performance is at the center.
@@notthatgerry , yes, and thank you for answering me, Gerardo, but maybe controlled feelings are as valid and real as overt feelings? I get real joy listening to Handel, and a sense of wonder listening to Bach, and often laugh outright at the things Haydn and Mozart do. Their music sounds so very controlled compared to the Romantics, but there is so much passion, so much feeling, so much intelligent humour, so much humanity in there! It's maybe like reading a sonnet, compared to reading a free-form poem. Just because the sonnet is controlled doesn't lessen the feelings, the love, hate, pain, joy, wonder, fear, combativeness, that humans feel and express. It just "bottles the rainbow" in a prism instead of letting it spill over, I guess. I have no doubt whatever that you are probably a real musician. I'm only a great lover of some music, and a dabbler in playing, but I really believe that there is so much feeling pre the Romantics! I tend to find the Romantics somewhat overbearing and/or mushy at times. Pardon me, that's a personal feeling, but I get swamped by a lot of them. I really loved the way the two gentlemen brought it out in this video, though. It was great fun!
When I was younger, I avoided Baroque and early Classical stuff because I felt it was devoid of feeling. When I grew older I discovered I was blind and deaf and I was missing all of it even though it was right under my nose.
I'm so pleased I was able to guess who was who based on style and expression before reading the description! Handel always struck me as the kind of guy who needs everything "just so." I feel like Scarlatti is more dramatic and expressive and that he would respect Handel but also tease him mercilessly.
hahahahaha! That was one of your most fun videos to date. I hope it was fun to make. Luuk, you play this music so effortlessly and well that I am convinced you come from another time. Very enjoyable to watch these videos. Thank you.
Thank you Grotrian! It was indeed very fun to make! Marijn (the organist from our ensemble) was also present to do the camera work. So nice to hear you like my playing, thanks very much!
Subscribed, instantly! Beautiful and witty performance aside, I felt a sense of wonder and awe, daydreaming about watching Handel or Scarlatti play, just like this. Thank you!
Since this is legitimately the best part about "god rot tunbridge wells" it is really funny, that you recreated the "Battle Scene". I just miss the Intro where Händel so despitefully calls Scarlattis name. Also a very nice rendition of the Passacaglia! Even with the super fast Arpeggios and the final cadence as in the Movie! Awesome!
@@MitchBoucherComposer @MitchBoucherComposer Hi Mitch, Actually, I was the only one who played the parts. First, I recorded the audio of both Handel's and Scarlatti's parts on the harpsichords. A few weeks later, we recorded the video. When you see Scarlatti's hands in the video, it are actually my hands. Too make it look like my brother played, I put on his costume :) The piece sounds difficult, but it is actually fairly easy. It took me a few days to learn.
So cool By listening this battle I realised that even if I love Handel and Scarlatti, I have to listen to them again and more deeply to get all the nuances of their play. The way how you act it it's so funny, I tought it was the same person till I read the description but I guess you are twins. Hope this battle cool down some unresolved conflicts haha And last but not least, harpsichord rocks !! the battle of electric guitars that we have now in metal music are pure descendants of that Peace
I didn't intend watch this... There was in YT an excerpt of the movie, and I realize it is more there. And decided to watch your performance. It is very accurate according to one I heard on the film. What a relief!!! Thank you both!!! This is the sound I was searching for!
The magic of the harpsichord is a gift from God, without a doubt the harpsichord is the most refined instrument since the classical period, the person who plays the harpsichord has a natural talent granted by God.
Thank you for the video! It's wonderful! Well played and really enjoy the costume and playing on the harpsichord! :) I believe that Handel is left with emotional Scar after this and needs a Latti to tender his wounds! :D (from what I know Scarlatti was slightly better on the harpsichord, while Handel was better on the organ).
Thank you very much Rolando! I'm glad you liked the costumes in particular, because we have put money and time in getting them. About what I have read about the real batlle is that Handel was indeed said to be better on the organ, while Handel and Scarlatti where both judged equal on the harpsichord. However, the Cardinal only said they where equal because he liked not to give preference. After the battle, Handel and Scarlatti agreed that Scarlatti was better at the harpsichord.
Isso é incrivel, Parabens Pela Performance, Nunca Pensei que alguém fosse recriar esse duelo do Filme, Tocaram com muita maestria e sem Perder A Essencia da Musica. Eterna Gratidão de Brasil 🇧🇷

It's important to know that battles are not recent. I think that Handel and Scarlatti were excellent in composition and playing on a harpsichord. Good playing and sound for this video. I think that it's better to play this piece on a harpsichord rather than on a piano. And Handel has composed little pieces easy to play but very nice. 🎹 🇨🇵 🎶
Great performance! What a clever idea, Luuk! Both instruments sounded great! I did not know that Mees also played harpsichord! We just never know what wonderful surprises you will have for your viewers!
Thanks, Rickey! I already thought you would like it. Mees does not play the harpsichord, when you see his hands it are actually my hands. Too make it look like Mees played, I put on his costume :)
Hallo Luuk, ich konnte es zuerst nicht fassen. Du besitzt auch viel schauspielerisches Talent gewürzt mit einem komödiantischen Unterton. Es ist Dir und Deinem Bruder hervorragend gelungen ,die berühmte Ruspoli Szene zu persiflieren. Das war eine riesige Überraschung. Danke an Euch beide für diesen humorvollen Einstieg ins Wochenende. Die Musikgeschichte ist jetzt um eine szenische Darstellung der Geschichte reicher. Also herzlichen Dank an Euch beide und alles erdenklich Gute !
That's a lovely parody of the harpsichord battle scene from Tunbridge Wells AND a beautiful rendition of the piece as well! 4:14 Congratulations! You've made my day! I' ve just shared it on FB! 4:14
That scene has already been done in the haendel biopic movie « god rot turnbridge wells » he actually take inspiration from it. But well done! (congrats for taking one german harpsichord for haendel and a italian for scarlatti 😉)
Yes, I know! I based this video on the scene in Got Rot Tunbridge Wells (as written in the video description). Nice to hear you appreciated the match of the different types of harpsichords with the players!
The battle continues in Handel vs Scarlatti Part 2!
ruclips.net/video/WD2MqPtwSms/видео.html
Are two of them playing the same melody?.
I love how in 1685 God was like: “Ok, I need to make some new music.” and Bach, Handel and Scarlatti were all born 😂
😄
The reality is that they were born just after a major shift in musical instrument technology, and had the talents to exploit that. A huge core of what established Bach as a master was that his patron owned one of the most advance organs in the world, and hired Bach to compose and perform music on it.

Abundare melius quam deficere est... as the wise Latins would say 😉
It's a matter of right time, right place just like Steve Jobs and Woz and Bill Gates coming out of California in the 50s. These magnificent musicians were born in Europe at the beginning of the Baroque
Also Corelli
When the competition becomes really intense, Scarlatti can be seen tea bagging his harpsichord . A rare treat.
@@James-h9l you are pardoned.
Are you sure? Maybe the harpsichord was teabagging him?

I remember that vid, every time I listen to the harpsichord ver.
"There were ladies and courtiers and I can't seriously aprove such idle contests but I won "

Same.
But for centuries here, dawg. 🤙

Scarlatti's music is underrated in my opinion. Most of his music (more of them are sonata"s) are very technical bud lovely to hear.
I agree! I also composed three sonatas in his style (they are on my RUclips channel)
550 in total... he literally would have written the equivalent of 1 every 3 weeks or so
Yes, and his music sounds so much better on harpsichord. I don't like Scarlatti piano transcriptions!
i mean they're still great but sound so much better on the instrument they're written for; so many people try to play soft and "beautiful" but that was very rarely the intent@@michellebelle2135
And so Scarlatti ultimately won the contest...thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it!
You're welcome!
