I've seen the Vienna Philharmonic in the Golden Hall in Vienna. I've seen Barenboim in Prague. I've seen the LSO and the LPO in London. I've seen the Magic Flute on Lake Constance. I've seen Bruckner played in St. Florian. I've seen concerts in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kyiv. But, I have never seen, a more unassuming man, wearing simple clothes, playing a barely known instrument, with so few followers, play with such virtuosity.

Please record all of the BACH solo works so we may purchase them. Your interpretation is extraordinary. The breaking of chord follows the musical line perfectly. Thank you, thank you. MORE!!!!!

O primeiro pensamento que vem à cabeça é o quanto Bach é fabuloso: sua música funciona em qualquer instrumento. Depois, à medida que a música vai rolando, o fator "curiosidade" do instrumento, vai sumindo e fica só a admiração pela musicalidade do instrumentista. Coisa linda.
@igorcarl3 ай бұрын
The first thought that comes to mind is how fabulous Bach is: his music works on any instrument. Then, as the music unfolds, the "curiosity" factor of the instrument fades away, leaving only admiration for the musician's musicality. Beautiful thing.

What were the years when everyone knew these instruments were common? I’m 83 years old, an ardent classical music follower, and this week has been the first I’ve heard of it.
@cuffzter3 жыл бұрын
The oldest Nyckelharpa (Key harp) found is one from the 16th century but there are depictions of them in churches that dates back even further. The reason you have never heard of it before is that A) its Swedish and while found in Norway and Denmark as well, never really spread out to Europe but there are pictures of it german dictionaries from that time. B) It was a folk music instrument and no real classical music was written for it. Sadly, high-browed historians never thought much about the history of the common folk or their music until recently. C) For some reason it started to lose in popularity. It appears it by this time was still a very simple instrument and could only play traditional songs. By the beginning of the 20th century few instrumentmakers knew how to make one. It didnt get popular again until it was pretty much redesigned to be chromatic and able to play in other keys than just C. So the Nyckelharpa might look old, but its pretty much reinvented and redesigned in the 1960s

Tack, Torbjörn! Having grown up with Milstein's version and even in more recent (rediscovered) baroque period style on violin, I always felt Choconne was an anguished, dark thing. In your hands it sounds so much lighter and more uplifting! Brilliant. Bravo.

This is an extraordinary interpretation! I am floored by the whole setup, the consumate articulations, the whole pace, which like a journey of emotions can be seen on the face of the interpret. Plus I had never heard of this instrument before, which seems to have a lot of keys below the fretboard.

You have done well to learn almost 14 minutes by memory. Perfect! Any and all the words laid at your feet are deserved my friend. I have always wanted to learn the nyckelharpa but at ago 79 (I also play 5-string viola, Irish Bouzouki, tenor guitar, and blow my own horn with an Irish Whistle) I doubt practice time is still available for me. I do have an off the wall question regarding the items behind you. I'm a retired western boot maker (Espanola New Mexico) and I see a sewing machine and a wooden work bench that remind me of my Singer and later an Adler sewing machine and cutting table for my leather cutting. When you're not enjoying making music what do you do with the equipment behind you? Thanks for the music and thanks for an answer.
