J. S. Bach - Praeludio con la Suite BWV 996 - Evangelina Mascardi, baroque lute

[@rfdarsie]

The allemande in this suite is one of my favorite pieces, and she plays it perfectly - not too fast, giving it room to breathe. Mark of a great musician (not just a great player).

[@evangelinamascardiofficial4766]

[@Nordic_Sky]

Perhaps my favorite of all time.

I'm looking at that instrument thinking "Nope... " and she's gliding on it beautifully and dynamically.

[@evangelinamascardiofficial4766]

😂

[@RadicalCaveman]

Too. Many. Strings.

[@OlgaZuccati]

i might be crazy but i think some of this is way easier to play on the lute for the simple fact that the hand shapes are less awkward than on a regular guitar

[@NaeelMaqsudov]

A very rare record where Evangelina smiles :)

[@theart8039]

Imagine tuning that thing! six strings are hard enough. What a beautiful instrument

[@砂野昌幸]

リュート演奏を見る機会がないので中々興味深いです。バッハのリュートでの演奏、初めて聴きました。ギターと違って素朴な味わいがありますね。バロック音楽にぴったりマッチしている楽器だと思います。途中、昔ギターで練習していた曲が出て来て驚きました。

[@dave6012]

What a difference it makes to the musicality hearing this on lute vs guitar. The bass notes end up creating a sort of duet with the melody due to the 8va up tuning of the courses. Very cool!

[@temporaryname8905]

My mother said this music is great after 20 seconds. I've been trying to get her to compliment my playing and received maybe 7 or 8 over 20 years. 😂

[@lucasoattin9499]

Mascardi super!

[@8888Rik]

I've listened to J. S. Bach's music for nearly all of my life, and I'm 70, and played music for several decades ("classical" guitar, although that's a complete misnomer), and to me Bach's music sounds like talking, like a conversation. No other music I've ever heard or played strikes me like this the way his music does.

[@antiv]

I’ve never heard somebody describe it like this, like talking, like a conversation. Perfect. Very true.

[@8888Rik]

@@antiv Yes, his music has always sounded like that to me, especially his organ music. There is a fairly minor work by him which I will confess at the outset that I can no longer remember (and I haven't owned a recording of it in many decades) that sounds for all the world to me like an argument between two people. It really is amazing. But that's what contrapuntal music really is: different voices crossing each other, sometimes harmonizing and sometimes clashing. But the subject is the same, and so it's like a conversation or an argument.

[@ttwopercent]

I felt the same way when I went to see a performance of Chopin, the left and right hand were two different people conversing. Now I am sitting here drinking my coffee in ultimate bliss trying in vain to digest every note. I am just a grain of sand swept away by the waves of Bach moved by a masterful musician.

[@palm0018]

I have associations like he explains something to me.

[@Thetruepianoman]

That's a real nice observation. For me it is like the conversation one has with their own mind

[@cosmikdebris6055]

I wish Bach could witness such perfection.

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

I find solace in the intricate details of classical compositions. The nuanced phrasing, the subtle crescendos, and the delicate pauses create a mesmerizing experience that allows me to escape into a world of beauty and artistry. 🌺🎶

Thank you, Evangelina Mascardi, for an interpretation of great dignity and grace. These pieces by Bach are what drew me to the classical guitar as a teenager, and later the lute. For twenty minutes you have made me young again with this timeless music.

История знает сомнения относительно авторства Баха в создании его лютневых сюит, но слушая прелюдию этой сюиты, её фуговый стиль после вступления, не остаётся никаких сомнений в её авторе - это великий Бах.

[@keithdoeskungfu]

she plays so perfectly. I could listen for hours (and I do)

[@vv631]

Думаю, у каждого человека есть любимые произведения в музыке, которые проникают в самые глубины его души, "обнажают" её и как бы говорят - "вот я, беззащитная, мне нечего сказать больше, чем есть в этой музыке". Для меня эта сюита - одно из таких произведений...

Yep. I feel the same way when I see piano virtuosos play 2 hour-long concertos with an orchestra, without any music sheets.

[@BaresEatBeats]

@linux maximus The human brain seems uniquely adept at remembering music, for some reason. I stopped playing guitar for around 8 years, but recently picked up my classical and was surprised that I could remember how to play basically all the songs I knew (as well as bits and pieces I made up myself), even if the muscle-memory/dexterity suffered a bit.
