This music has demands on fingering so far from fx Beethovens sonatas, and if you played this at age 14 you have learned to "navigate" the keys in a way which will help you in most other music. You may need to learn som presto things, too quite another "ball game".
This is an excellent harpsichord, the performance outstanding in showcasing the counterpoint and rhythmic nicety; and what a prelude! what a fugue! I never understand what people mean who find Bach’s absolute music “emotionless “.
Isn't it interesting that the harpsichord makes this much easier than a piano, even though with the piano there is control over each note's dynamic level.
Bach conceived of this music on the harpsichord and or organ, so it would makes sense it would sound best and clearest on these instruments. The nature of the rules of counterpoint, which he knew as well as anyone alive, make it such that the coutnerpoint is best rendered at all equal volumes per voice. That's why chessy MIDI bach actually sounds kind of good.
@@rdubb77 Exactly! And precisely my problem with piano renditions of Bach that utilize too much dynamic range, causing some of the voicing to be less clear.
I've loved this incredible prelude and fugue for over 45 years now, and Bart Jacobs' performance is wonderfully intense...perfectly fitting for these two remarkable (once separate, but now forever adjoined) pieces. This harpsichord has a nice, warm quality to it, which works well with this masterpiece of Bachian counterpoint. Go listen to Jacobs' commentary about this piece...his knowledge and enthusiasm will impress you too, as his extremely musical playing always does. // NBS, never cease...ever.

Bonjour. Bravo à l' interprète brillant dans cette œuvre d'une telle poésie, et d'une beauté du intense !!!! En plus le claveciniste a un beau visage. Que Dieu le bénisse ! Soli Deo Gloria Merci Très cordialement. Olivier
Wunderschöne und lyrische Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im gut phrasierten Tempo mit schimmerndem Klang des ausgezeichneten Cembalos und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt genialer Cembalist!
My favorite Prelude and fugue in the collection. As a pianist, I always think of it slower but I bet this is more what Bach intended. The articulation and pace is transcendent. Bravo.
An illuminating performance of a great piece. The tempo surprised me but really works, and all the detail makes sense - by comparison, it can be rather 'adrift' in piano versions of this prelude.
Lei é un ottimo cembalista , un musicista di spessore e il suo modo di unire il cuore alla maestria e alla complessità strutturale di bach la rendono un interprete eccellente. Complimenti!
Hello from Canada. What a gift to listen to your wonderful playing while having my morning coffee. I predict a great day ahead. This has to be one of my favourite videos - I love the setting, the beautiful house, the ornate instrument, and your mastery of it. Bravo. I think I will hit replay! I visited the Netherlands with my parents ( my Mum was of Dutch descent) when I was studying in Germany predominantly, and this video made me homesick and nostalgic.
This reminds me the days 5 years ago while I was on the working holiday visa in Australia I drove through long ways across the dried grassy plain wilderness alone under the bright yet somehow boring Sun usually on the North side since it was Winter there...
It’s nice to see someone in these videos at the keyboard, whether organ, harpsichord, or piano, who can play masterfully without the silly affectation of an epileptic seizure.
bach take's a lot less physically (not emotionally lol) to play, so performers have more ability to focus on composing and controlling themselves. if you listen to someone like scriabin, say his op 8 or op 65 etudes, quite literally every single person performing them moves around like a madman, and why? because it's extremely fucking difficult, and you're not focusing on not swaying, you're focusing on playing the music. I get what you mean, and sometimes it's distracting, but if you really let that get in the way of a good performance I seriously feel you need to reevaluate music.
I *love* Leo van Doeselaar ! I´m a highly sensitive musician myself and letting all sorts of "silly" body reactions happen is key to my ability of playing actually beautiful and convincing music ! It´s not doing anything but letting go. You have to be very brave to show that - especially when your audience tends to see it as "affectation" ! : ))
Great performace, fantastic instrument and performer! The music of Bach sounds great on Harpsichord, but there is only one recording by the nederlands Bach sociaty on clavichord. I Think this a shame. But thank you for all the other great recordings! hope to see more in the future:)
Danger Russ I think music like the inventions was very much written for the clavichord, since the inventions where composed for Bachs sons and students. So, i believe the music was practiced in the home of Bach himself on clavichord and in the homes of the students. Thus the clavichord existed in nearly all layers of soicaty so much of the music must have been practiced and performed on clavichord.
He's using "Bach: The Complete Piano Works (Samtliche Klavierwerke)" in 3 volumes (2002). If you watch the companion video to this where he's discussing the pieces at 6' you can see the three volumes.
Words fail. Such extraordinary works, so beautifully played. ... What temperament is the harpsichord in? I'll listen to Jacobs's interview, maybe the information is in there. If not maybe someone can post a comment here to tell us. Werkmeister III, IV? or...?
The prelude is often played more slowly, wrongly in my opinion. I think the pace chosen here is correct. The opinion that you have to play slowly to be sensitive is not correct (at least I think so).

The music of Bach sounds great on Harpsichord, but there is only one recording by the nederlands Bach sociaty on clavichord. I Think this a shame. But thank you for all the other great recordings! hope to see more in the future:)
Its a matter of taste... I prefer the harpsichord
The inventions, sinfonias, and the WTC were written for harpsichord primarily.

Belíssimo
Magisch!
What a a luck to have a harpsichord am home!!!!
The sentence in the lid of the harpsichord is the same as in Vermeer's 'Music Lesson'
Prelude is a little fast, but it’s beautiful anyway. Congrats!
I think that tempo flows so nicely!

That sustain is something else considering it's a harpsichord.
Has anyone else come here after watching "la silence de la mer" (1949) ?
Dievinu Bacho muziką🙏
great articulation - sounds as about d minor per today's pitch or timeline stretched? interesting
Baroque Eb minor = Modern D minor
0:49 is that a mistake...? It wouldn't be an appoggiatura right? a major chord with a flattened 2nd doesn't make sense
Meraviglia.
I agree. Romantisation is unneccessary.
Duc in altum.
To trust those words you must be really brave.
The prelude is often played more slowly, wrongly in my opinion. I think the pace chosen here is correct. The opinion that you have to play slowly to be sensitive is not correct (at least I think so).

Мелодические ходы в Прелюдии в столь торопливом темпе необоснованы, чужды и неестевствены ее среде и метру, не успевают расскрыться и "заиграть"
