Rameau - Suite A-minor 1728

[@livliv2958]

Rameau's music is beautiful beyond any human words...

[@lehrmandavid10]

What magnificent playing. I particularly admired the majesty and surprising tempo at the end of the gavotte and doubles. How he brought this magnificent passacaglia (essentially) home for a splendid and rousing finale. M. Haas is a great maestro, and the authority of his interpretation will be a source of delight for years to come, I am sure.

To all of the folk who have been commenting on and even bellyaching about the number of "trills" as they put it ... do some homework and educate yourself about trills, turns, mordents, acciacctura, appoggiatura in relation to French baroque practice. The player is expected to extemporise as the performance is much more complex than the written score suggests. An expert like Mr Hass makes it sound easy ... it's not!

Nicely put. I’m no musician of any kind but I love to listen, all kinds. I used to express ‘preferences’ but I now understand that Art Music evolved over the centuries from the genius of each Composer. Each piece is wonderful in its own rite. 💙

The best harpsichord suite ever

[@_PROCLUS]

The Belgian harpsichordist, Frédérick Haas born 1969 .. studied the harpsichord with a number of teachers, and was awarded solo diplomas at both the Sweelinck Conservatorium of Amsterdam and the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, in addition to a Musicology degree from the Sorbonne. ... Frédérick Haas is professor of harpsichord at the Royal Conservatorium of Brussels.

I always think that Rameau is akin to Boucher. Diderot said that Boucher was the greatest living painter but so dishonest. It was the entitlement to sensual delight, to color and taste and texture without moral purpose that offended...and Rameau in his music is as voluptuous and indulgent. I call it a generosity. Keep your high flown Greuze moralities...give me Venus ini pearls!

I hear Rameau music since I was 10 and I love it as much as love the music itself. Those trills are the best part of Rameau pieces, they have something special, and i dont know what specifically is. I want to be a hapsichordist, but in my country there are no hapsichordists so, maybe when i grow and go to other place of the world for study it.

Apology accepted. The truth is not much is known about the life of Rameau, because much of their work was lost ( as was the custom at that time ) have only been preserved operas and other works but nothing for the harpsichord all this is in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris , so all the pieces for harpsichord of Rameau we know are transcripts made ​​by his pupil Claude Balbastre .

[@inesdesatrustegui3903]

I believed Rameau wrote and published himself the Premier livre de pièces de clavecin (harpsichord) in 1706, the Deuxième (second) livre de pièces de clavecin in 1724, and the third, called Nouvelles suites de pièces de clavecin, in 1728, and the Pièces de clavecin en concert, and… Here, in France, we consider him as our most important composer for harpsichord with François Couperin. Barbastre made the transcriptions for harpsichord of his operas, but that's all… (Sorry for my awful english.)

The Courante is too fast. Part of the reason there are so many ornaments is because the Courante is a slow and stately dance, and the notes can be sustained with them. This tempo isn't nearly as extreme as you can get with other modern performances, but the ornaments still sound cluttered.

[@antoinemozart243]

Courante means running in French.

[@mantictac]

@@antoinemozart243 Yes, it does. It also means "a current". But this isn't French language class. The French dance, the Courante, was described throughout the baroque era as a grave dance, sometimes even the slowest of the suite (including the Passacaille, AND the Sarabande). The fast dance is the Italian "Corrente". The word "Gigue" comes from a Germanic root word meaning "to wish, to desire". Is that what comes to mind when you hear the Gigue?

[@CarlBowlby]

Ok, modern ears here so I cannot listen to more than 3 movements of this wonderful suite. The harpsichord, especially when it goes very fast on “Les Trois Mains”, is almost unbearable to my ears. But this is just me, of course. The other “issue” I have with this interpretation is that there are many embellishments improvised into a score which already has plenty, imo, of them. So why “tax” the listener’s ears with constant ornamentations? Makes little sense to me not only as a performer but a listener. However, the playing is flawless and expert so that I cannot argue with.

[@phebus2005]

Carl Bowlby ... About those "embellishments", Huguette Dreyfus, whom I studied with, would tell you to carefully read introductions and treatises, which we extensively did at her class. Early French music was formerly, so Couperin himself says, meant not to be played as it's written. Great freedom of expression is expected from the performer playing Rameau who didn't always filled in what could be imagined by his player. That's the idea of live music : do not play it twice the same way. A harpsichordist, and an organist, must know what to do with what's not specified. In a way Chopin continued the tradition, but then his text had become unbearably impossible to adapt to the spur of the moment.

[@CarlBowlby]

thierry guffroy hello, and thank you for not “shouting me down” if you know what I mean. Of course I understand the concept of embellishments and do so myself on the organ and piano, but I guess my exception to this interpretation was that they were too much to my ears. Simply a subjective response. I also love Couperin and Rameau’s clavecin music as they wrote it. But if historically they expected more ornamentation than what was written then that’s an issue concerning my own tastes. However, all that said, the music played is beautifully rendered. And yes, yes I have read countless introductions and early books on ornamentation which was never truly agreed upon by all those considered, so there was no one set standard of executing trills, mordents, etc. It’s new to me when you say that Chopin expected embellishments in his music. Is this true?

[@phebus2005]

Carl Bowlby 😊 Trying to say things in just a few words without sounding rude is something I know little about, especially when I am not using my mother tongue, and I certainly did not mean to teach anyone a lesson. Thank you for acknowledging that. Here may not be the ideal place to debate and discuss. I'd be awfully sorry to realize that people would think of me as not interested in everyone's remarks. I am no specialist of Chopin. But the way his music is conceived seems to lead to much more liberty than it looks, perhaps with other means. Then again, the comparison only came from pianists. Let's stick to one style and one instrument for now. Nice talking to you ! (And forgive my English. Hard to be clear when you think in a language and write in another one !)

[@CarlBowlby]

thierry guffroy yes thank you, it is hard to discuss ornamentation in a format such as KZbin comments! And may I ask, what is your original language?

[@phebus2005]

Carl Bowlby ... If of any interest, speaking of embellishments, let me give you two examples : We know that Bach published very little of his complete organ work. Many copies were made by pupils, family and friends, which says a lot on the popularity (or not) of a piece. Take the "Pièce d'orgue" in G Major. The Bach Gesellschaft Edition (I hardly know of a better one) published what seems to be a fair copy in which the counterpoint is left rather "clean". The Neue Bach Ausgabe though later reveled and released a copy with an ornament on each note !!! See ! In his organ chorales, Bach sometimes produced two versions of the exact same one (which he called "Alio modo", another way to play the same thing). It occurs in the Orgelbüchlein and in the Leipzig collection ... I like to suppose that the idioms Chopin used were just examples, his technique being new, as did Haendel, Bach and ... Rameau ... What do you think ?
