This is my favourite Bach's prelude and fugue!!!! BRAVO!!!! GREAT!!!! PERFECT!!!! I am only 14 years old,but I can play it on my piano

[@jkosku]

Well, you're in for a wonderful life!

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

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".

[@waynegranvillesmith8535]

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 “.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Bach is played at his best when all the voices come out clearly like in this rendition.

[@fergusbyett8088]

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.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

@@fergusbyett8088 That's what surprised me.

[@rdubb77]

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.

[@DavidMcCoul]

@@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.

[@schrysafis]

Richter's recordings is the ultimate gift to the clarity of voices...

[@altruisticphilanthropic4647]

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.

[@mewsdo]

Thanks for great playing... singing... moving with a natural swing ... the harpsichord proves itself to be a perfect medium for the WTC!

[@johndobson1899]

One of the best of the 48 . A great performance at a quicker tempo with tasteful embellishments. I enjoyed it, thank you

[@olivierfritzfeller7654]

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

Don't worry my friend, Latin is a rusty language anyway. We all thank you!

[@michaeltierra6388]

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.

[@dennymk6454]

the Great Master would be pleased. very nice rendition in Eb m. thanks Bart. I Love J S Bach.

[@luuktorn]

Great music, great performer, great instrument!

[@danielaziliani6928]

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!

[@ladyhalcon3036]

wonderful piece and precious interpretation, I like Bach more every day.

[@gilloliver9242]

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.

[@sandygereau635]

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.

Fun fact, this video has been recorded in Belgium...

[@ChrisBECKETT-k4x]

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...?

[@bach]

I will check with Bart Jacobs

[@juliusvilfredhartung5150]

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:)

[@ruperttmls7985]

Its a matter of taste... I prefer the harpsichord

[@DangerRussDayZ6533]

The inventions, sinfonias, and the WTC were written for harpsichord primarily.

[@juliusvilfredhartung5150]

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.

[@viliambalaz4867]

Perfect accuracy :-)

[@guitzanin]

Thanks!

[@HarpsichordVinylGallery]

Nice indeed! Thanks

[@kuziokundera]

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.

[@espressonoob]

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.

[@andreamundt]

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" ! : ))

[@austinafrench]

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.

0:49 is that a mistake...? It wouldn't be an appoggiatura right? a major chord with a flattened 2nd doesn't make sense

[@urshandschin5108]

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).
