he makes the harpsichord sing - his ornaments would make Bach smile

[@user-ol1ib1ss2b]

This is certainly one of the best performances of this piece I’ve ever heard. I’ll play this video when I want to show people the art of harpsichord playing.

[@Mase251]

I wonder how anyone could going back to listening Bach on a modern piano (typically played in a horrible romaticized way by pianists) after listening to this! A performance that can actually compete with my references (by Staier and Ross). Bravo!

[@pollywanda]

This music makes me glad to be a human.

[@kamiltylus]

@Dònal Brügge He said specifically about >this< music, which was composed by a human, and i agree that there is much human glory to it

[@diegoteruel7069]

Effectively. but there are few humans who feel this. it is not an intellectual question but a spiritual one

[@ezequielstepanenko3229]

@Dònal Brügge but you need to be human to appreciate it

[@yvesfeder1385]

This is one of those very, very few interpretations of the French Ouverture that absolutely transcends the printed page, that transports the listener to the highest realms of musical heaven, exactly as Johann Sebastian meant it to be. What an artist, Mr. Mencoboni! Such a magnificent statement. Marco's interpretation of this divine music of Bach is beyond words - as it should be.

[@diegoteruel7069]

Sorry. I think Mencoboni surpasses Bach's score with his wonderful talent and emotion.

[@plekkchand]

@@diegoteruel7069 Yes. Bach has been surpassed by Marco Mencoboni. Right.

[@Gabry2138]

Maestro Mencoboni, grandioso interprete della perfezione di Dio fatta voce udibile. Grazie Johann Sebastian, grazie Marco...💗💗💗

[@rufuscoppertop330]

Mr Mencoboni is definitely my favourite harpsichordist.

[@francosperoni3417]

Straordinaria esecuzione della suite. Conoscevo Marco Mencoboni di nome, ma non l'ho mai ascoltato suonare dal vivo. Questa registrazione è ottima, e permette almeno per avere un'idea della sua bravura a capacità espressiva. Devo ascoltarlo in concerto.

[@pawepotkowski5333]

What a music, what a interpretation, what a instrument.

[@ronwalker4849]

I LOVE THE WAY MARCO PLAYS THIS FRENCH SUITE WITH NOTES INEGUALES WHICH HAS A VERY STYLISH MOVEMENT TO THE COMPOSITION. MARCO IS REALLY ONE OF THE LIVING MONUMENTS TO ANTIQUE MUSIC WELL RENDERED. GRAZIE.

[@dannysilverstein404]

Thank you Mr mencoboni the greatest master of the harpsichord. Your performance is divine.

[@zingarassong7531]

Sublime , voluptuous, and infused with kinetic energy; he communes with the gods as he plays. Don't bother playing the harpsichord any other way. Bravo, you have my heart!

[@youexx]

At the harpsichord keyboards, Marco has a veritable - and brilliant - orchestra at his fingertips. Supremely gifted. I have been intimately immersed in the harpsichord, and harpsichord making world for many years and frankly, do not know a finer and more brilliant interpretation of this work than Marco's.

[@bootesvoid1275]

Such underrated musical miracle! Thanks and respects to the performer!

[@diegoteruel7069]

Exactly, Marco Mencoboni is a miracle of expression. I love Marco Mencoboni. The millions years of human evolution have been worth it!!!

[@seanmarshall7529]

Ma che bravo! e' la prima volta che ascolto la sua arte.. una vera gioia! (ti scrivo in italiano pensandoti tale!)

[@Fratea]

Semplicemente meraviglioso. Un'interpretazione rispettosa della prassi esecutiva ma così personale. Una vera gioia ascoltarla!

[@BALDASSARREBRENTANI]

[@scottmurison]

Marco lets Bach get right into your brain doesn't he?

[@john.415]

Marvelous playing and music! This is one of the best advertisements for the harpsichord you will ever hear.

[@johnfeldman4507]

Bellissimo! Passionate and yet lively interpretation!

[@GlenShannon]

This beautiful music, as he sits on a cheap plastic chair- shows that true art is innate and not reliant on things. Playing from memory without the written music adds such a fantastic organic quality to the performance.

[@gillesbinchois899]

If you look closely, you will notice that this is not a cheap plastic chair but an elegant Italian wooden chair the like of which became the model for all those cheap plastic chairs...

[@diegoteruel7069]

Marco Mencoboni is the highest expression of what art is: pure emotion. All the music that goes through It is much better than what we have known or imagined. Wonderful. Thanks Marco, we love you.

[@JOSHUA-hs4zt]

Firstly thank you. I recall having a lesson on the Bach 4th Partita. At the end of the lesson my teacher played the French Overture to me. It was the first time I heard it and it had a profound effect on me, and what a treat to have that huge repeat in the first movement!

[@diegoteruel7069]

Marco Mencoboni is not only a great and sublim musician, I think also that is a beautiful a mervellous human being.

[@VitaliyGR]

Just a little of lilting gigue-sque (almost swing) touch in the Allegro section of the Ouverture and in Echo adds a dancing sparkle to the rhytmic monotony and fits well with the French baroque style. Thumbs up :)

[@wolkowy1]

I wonder what made you upload this twice? Did you want us, the listeners/viewers, to realize there are no 2 performances identical (of-course not - it is human being playing, not a robot), only similar with tiny slight bit of very small changes, or does my mind playing tricks on me and in reality it is the same upload? Is it the conduct of your sense of humor? - either way, I'm not tired to praise this/these excellent performance/s. Bravissimo! I would like though to ask you - as an Early Music's expert - one question that bothers me a lot and I was ashame to ask because of my ignorance: is it OK to fuse the 1st part of the, let's say the 1st Gavotte, with the 1st part of the 2nd Gavotte, thus using Bach himself in the repetition of each part? and, if so - is it OK nevertheless to use our own creative decorations during the process of performing? Thanks for all your uploads.

[@cantarlontano]

wolkowy1 the first video will be deleted soon by the director caused by a wrong footage application. Gavotte 1/2 is conceived as just one piece, personally I dont like to add my proper variations to this music, especially when Bach is the composer but many colleagues adore to do that... tks for you comments

[@soobin_tone]

Please delete the opening signal sound, which ruins this great video.

Er lässt das Cembalo singen, er frönt nicht der "Musik ist Klangrede"-Zerhackung. Allein das schon macht ihn zu einem ganz besonderen Musiker. Und, was ich darüber hinaus faszinierend finde, er macht sich die Mühe, im Gegensatz zu vielen Kollegen, das mehrschichtig-komplexe Cembalo-Repertoire auswendig vorzutragen. Und mit einer derartigen Leichtigkeit!

[@jeffturner2102]

I think Marco is the best harpsichord player in the world🌎 I've watched many on KZbin but for me he's the Best! He plays superb/sublime, fantastic he puts his whole heart an soul into his playing! Long live Marco he brings pure joy to this world.

No. I am sorry to correct your absolutely wrong statement, which is clearly born out of an individual fantasy. Bach was a servant of God, yes with a capital letter G, his whole life- God of the trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
