[@jamesforbes2205]

La musica da allora non è stata polifonica ma omofonica e l'accordo arpeggiato e in particolare nelle fughe con i suoi cicli di 3a 4a e 5a e da relativa chiave maggiore a relativa minore o viceversa è il leitmotiv di un genere di media illuministi ( TV Film), che rappresenta una visione molto razionalista e limitata del periodo ma produce anche pregiudizi. Organo e Clavicembalo hanno anche un tono molto meno variabile rispetto al pianoforte, quindi la nostra visione del Barogue è colorata dal progresso della strumentazione del periodo romantico. Il libro Godel, Escher Bach e le successive ripetizioni della natura "matematica" di Bach si cementano nella psiche pop, ma TUTTA la musica è matematica.

My wife is a violinist and played in a folk group with a guitarist. He pulled the same face when he played as in the thumbnail for this video. He got the nickname Pooface, which unfortunately stuck. 11 years later and most people have forgotten his real name.

[@terrygreene1395]

I’m trying to add up the years it took and the hours of practice it takes to become a virtuoso like this. There would never be enough time unless there was some innate grasp of the music and the inspiration of the compositions to inspire that time.

[@AndSendMe]

Thank you for another wonderful performance. For me, in the early music world, there is you and Rachel Podger, and then there is the rest.

[@BernardGreenberg]

This is just as good as Bach playing gets, on any instrument or ensemble. It is not possible to surpass Ms. Mascardi's feel for and mastery of this complex, inward utterance of the greatest composer. Casals had nothing on her. Even more than the cello, the lute with bass courses grants this music the unapproachable, unfathomable dignity in which it was conceived. Magnificent. As good as it gets. The _Sarabande_ of this/BWV1011 may well be the most esoteric and subtle, and one of the deepest and most affecting, of all the movements of Bach.

[@jamesforbes2205]

It's the subtlety with which she approaches her interpretations of volume, tempo, timbre and tone as well as a profound understanding of the whole composition and the rest of Bach's oeuvre that is to me what marks her as true genius. From the opening notes to the reverberating last string plucked there's absolutely nothing to disagree with or are we even listening critically... we're lost in the music floating along happily in the currents. I am pleased to see so many agree with me/us as well.

[@timbruer7318]

A heavenly combination of some of the best music ever, played exquisitely. I can't imagine a better interpretation than this, and what I particularly like is the time taken with the phrases. I love Bach's keyboard music, but in general there's often not a lot of space in it. I'm not sure whether his lute music inherently suggests this freer approach because of the nature of the instrument, or it's simply Mascardi's style, but I adore it, and feel that it makes it more profound.

[@posaunemaster1482]

I`m from Ukraine and always looking forward for your new video. J. S. Bach helps to live inside the flame we are. Thank you

.ok, am an amateur horn player found some music for horn and it is a book of cello suites... played a couple of sarabands, dances and when it came to suite 5 my excitement changed to despair, i turned to cellists now lute. This, playing on a lute is definitely the most courageous and one of my favorite. Courante on cello is usually overexpressed but here in the favor of dance I am able to hear constant like trotting pace which makes perfect marriage to other dances of this suite. Beautiful musicianship.

I have said this before, it bears repeating. Every time I hear her playing a piece or suite I have known for many years it is still like hearing it for the first time. If only she would come and perform in New Zealand, which is where I live, then I would be there like a shot.

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . Where in New Zealand are you?.. It is such a long way. Which would be your nearest concert venue? I was down your way a decade ago looking for such venues from Auckland to Dunedin - 'scarce' best described my findings .

[@sydmannion7483]

@@donaldcook3112 - In Auckland there is the Aotea Centre which includes the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre seating 2000 and the Herald Theatre which seats about 80 - 100. Adjacent to the Aotea Centre is the Auckland Town Hall which seats about 1500. (Julian Bream and John Williams have both performed there.) A venue called Dolphin Theatre is an intimate theatre seating 119. There is a flexible seating venue called The Factory Theatre seating up to 100. In West Auckland there is a performance venue called TAPAC. It is flexible seating from between 120 and 160 depending on the configuration. In East Auckland there is a venue called Howick Little Theatre, seating about 80 with flexible seating. In Wellington there are also other small venues, but the largest would be the Michael Fowler Centre which seats just over 2000. Christchurch also has a town hall suitable for classical performances. I cannot comment on Dunedin.

However, we are much more than something we engage in. The OP was correct- she has given up years to create this and will give up more. A sacrifice doesn't have to be negative- it just takes from other areas.
