April 2016

Given how often Bach, Handel, and others are played on a piano, this seems like good revenge.

[@davidjosegomes7768]

You are absolutely correct.

[@unquietthoughts]

Well said!

[@yoco93cro]

I think this is my favorite version of Danse Macabre I've ever heard. You have proven that one cembalo, an amazing instrument with specific romantic sound, is voluminous enough to present this marvelous symphonic poem in it's natural way - a harmony on the thin line between creepy and merry. And such gloomy video is amazing as well!!

[@JessicaTayB]

This needs millions of views! I must have found a hidden gem.

[@TeilZeitGott27]

The arrangement! My god, hands down the best arrangement of this piece for a solo instrument. And then it even is for harpsichord. This must be heaven

[@HarpsichordVinylGallery]

Maybe this is the way to save our beloved harpsichord instrument. Beautiful ladies with great skills, and a dramatized look in the eyes, in a pop culture setting with close-up camera techniques and refreshing exciting arrangements of familiar pieces. Actually I enjoyed it a lot. If you can't beat the music culture nowadays just join it.

[@zacharybond23]

Even if the presentation differs, at least our beloved old keyboard continues to live on and sing another day!

[@HarpsichordVinylGallery]

@@zacharybond23 Yes, that is the spirit!

[@The_Butler_Did_It]

I had my doubts when I saw the title but I'm surprised at how good it sounds.

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Unfortunately, I can do only one thumbs-up. I wish I could do 20. Awesome production and playing.

[@pierrelouis8877]

Génial ! Cet arrangement rend mieux qu'au piano. Il fallait oser et c'est une réussite ! A entendre un clavecin sonner comme cela on se dit que cet instrument ne nous a pas encore tout révéler !

[@HarryvanderWal]

Absolutely devastatingly beautiful performances, and also something to look at, stunning beauty.

[@yvesfeder1385]

What total fun!!!! And really beautiful, exquisite playing and duo dynamics!

[@Evelyn.Motmag]

*DRACULESCO, VERY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!* 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@chucku00]

Thu Le's guitar version of this piece made me looking for an harpsichord version and there I am... blown away by the insane chemistry between the visuals, the interpretation and the sound of this ancient but fascinating instrument.

[@saulemaroussault6343]

I’m very very picky about adaptations of this piece, but this version. It just works. Thank you and congratulations.

[@romain8511]

That s so bautiful

[@carlopost2738]

Surprising interpretation of a romantic piece on a baroque instrument. I like it very much. I have also heard your interpretation of the famous passacaglia and fugue of Bach. Breathtaking.

[@yvesfeder1385]

Marvelous fun and very well arranged and orchestrated! Super smart musical minds at work doing this!

[@thegildedpagestudio6485]

I only wish my dearly-beloved mentor, the late and great pioneer of Australian harpsichord making - Mars McMillan (1944-2016) could have heard this, it's magnificent and so was She! This is spectacular. My eternal thanks to you, Anna Kiskachi for your camaraderie. I love you ❤️💐❤️

[@davidjosegomes7768]

I love the harpsichord. No matter what it plays.

[@martinuddin]

it must be a special experience for the harpsichord to be tickled in so many of its parts at the same time..! but they sure make excellent use of the possibilities at hand!

[@Julia_Coelho_Music]

"possibilities at hand" - unintentional pun? (ha!)

[@AndreyZyryanov]

Amazing! So professional! Thank you for good music. I also would lie to hear your perfomances of Bach music (The Well Tempered Clavier).

[@barnesharpsichords]

What fun! Amazing performances, both of you such good players. I would like to hear you play some Bach please. Most uk performances are so dull. Come over and cheer us all up!

[@raymondvanleeuwen7995]

They've done BWV 582 on KZbin--very fine performance.

[@karlreichel4758]

Grossartig ein Genuss für Auge und Ohr

[@pittiplatsch9635]

Ja. Absolut....!

[@e.c.9468]

Wow, je ne me doutais pas que ça donnais aussi bien au clavecin ! Bravo

[@cherylknight6080]

Just absolutely beautiful and awesome!!! I listen to this song everyday, it gets my day going! Do believe it is the best version of this song I have ever heard.

[@forestsoceansmusic]

AWESOME! I've been listening to the original version of that piece since about 1964. We had a 7-inch vinyl ("Coronet Classics") that had to be played at 33-and-a-third rpm -- it was Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting the New York Philharmonic. These two beauties (I much preferred the one sitting at the bass end of the keyboard) covered just about every orchestral part in it. If they did the arranging, then I'm really impressed.

[@samo5202]

Amazing!!!! More please

[@ArturoRodz]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@BlankScroll]

It's good in so many ways to be wicked.

[@denruden9162]

Прекрасно! Просто потрясающе)) нет слов) И играете здорово, и съемки классные. Спасибо вам!

[@SallyGordonMark]

Bravo, you wonderful musicians!

[@claireavern6750]

[@Esperluet]

[@klagrohzt5846]

Surprenante mais Ô combien superbe adaptation de ce classique. Bravo !

[@Vernet-Meckler]

Beautiful !!!

[@luismartinez-hd8rj]

Fantástico, Espectacular,

Mit dem Geklimper kannst die Knochen hören, wie sie knallen! Die Damen sind echt dran!

[@pittiplatsch9635]

Möchte live dabei sein... Wie die Fingerchen die Tasten bearbeiten.... Dazu Pastete essen und Wein schlabbern...

[@IgorSkoglund]

Great performance!

[@jeffreylevy1108]

At first I did not think this would work, BUT IT IS VERY GOOD!

[@Pony_ezpumi]

Splendid.

[@NARHHJ]

Just wow :O

[@rbk2745]

Fantastic. You are awsome.

[@knutclau705]

So sublime... (I love the facial expression of highly blasée...😂❤)

[@duchessofdementia7113]

ALBUM WHEN, COME ON LADIES PLEASE

[@sjon0]

Astonishing arrangement!!

[@MoRoKeiFrOd]

Powerful!

[@TheMikeOrganist]

Uhh, very nice version of this piece from Saint-Saens - And nice camera-shots and video to! So, because I'm playing Cembalo as some kind of a "second instrument", I will subscribe to the channel. Keep it up! ;)

[@RobertKRH]

Благодарю за выступление, которое проходило в Доме музыки 23 марта! Мы получили огромное удовольствие! Анна и Анастасия, когда запланировано следующее выступление в Москве?

[@zsofiarosta5018]

Suuuuuuper!

[@roland8578]

Heavy Metal on Cembalo...🙂👍

[@chucku00]

Yup, it hits stronger than many try-hard metal bands. But some of them are in the same ballpark : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2rCd5ysq7GLnaM

[@pittiplatsch9635]

BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO!

[@larrykatz3333]

Bravi!

[@davidjosegomes7768]

J aime beaucoup le clavecin. Et n importe quelle musique soit joueé à cet instrument. Mi piace molto il clavecembalo. E non importa che musica sarà sonata in questo strumento.

[@evangelischneudorf-west809]

Herrlich!!!

[@jimbo2629]

I always wondered why Ruckers created two manuals.

[@fgbowen]

7:11 - .......Better Than Most Orchestras could play it. Seriously. It's the truth.

[@retiarene6340]

next time they should record a swan lake by Tchaikovsky dressed like white and black swan, including the pointe shoes))

[@user-nj2nm1ws8y]

Keep your dreams tight

[@agibson9928]

danse macabre more like dance o' myG0D

[@maurizionassi9409]

👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@SomthingFunnyAndCute]

Do y’all mind if I use this music for a fan video? I’m happy to credit you however you like.

[@jytou]

Interesting how the E flat at 6:48 sounds so different from the exact same note 2 seconds later. A number of cents difference there. :)

[@rainig.2241]

The very first chords sound like the intro of 'say something....' maybe the 'legagcies' of the ancient composer can claim that as a plagiate ?

[@kluke1000]

So gothic I puked a raven

[@runner0075]

Now I wanna see Morticia coming behind spider webs in her octopus black dress

[@spiderlime]

clever... saint-saens meets bram stoker...

[@dmitryangelov6681]

Работа визажиста 5+

[@Matthew-he3jw]

Different 😁

[@shawncharton9416]

What reduction is this?

[@currawong2011]

Thoughtful and effective playing, but as with so many music videos, it would be nice not to have to see the performers emoting.

[@julietegreco9907]

😵

[@cammus]

Is this c minor?

[@rubi588]

Wish they’d show their hands instead of just their faces and makeup.

[@rainig.2241]

Desolee, given up....probably will remain only a 'passive' musician.....

[@WickdPerfekT]

Get a different trade
