F. Couperin: Les barricades mystérieuses

[@georgew.spradlin8333]

This young lady plays this so gracefully.

[@pascalolivier7280]

DEFINITELY the BEST performance of this 'mysterious' piece. Eva's play is so subtle, soft, constant, flowing, the sound of the piano is so light... Probably the composer would have appreciated this way of magnifying his heavenly music.

[@arlenedechoiseul-guyancour5871]

Avez vous écouté celle de Cziffra ?

[@michaelcalder9089]

💯 Agree

[@lepetitorchestre2730]

Oh ! Que c'est bien. Parfaitement joué. Tout en retenue, dans la sensibilité, la fluidité et la délicatesse. Bravo !

[@belfast2bangkok]

I have just been listening to various recordings of this piece of music, some using 17th century harpsichords; but this is by far the best, most musical, version of them all! A superb interpretation!😊👍

[@markuszell1230]

Dear Eva, I cannot get enough from this piece in your interpretation. Such an easy tune, such a big amount music. You touched my soul with your interpretation. There is nothing more which can make clear how important culture is, especially during Corona times...thank you so much!

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Beautiful tempo. Too many people rush this gorgeous and rightly loved music. :-)

[@MrBenjigee]

I prefer it a bit slower.

[@PlayBetterJazz]

The tempo marking for the piece literally translates to "lively" or "brisk". I prefer it about this tempo or a little slower.

[@Jean-MarcLesage1959]

Il y a marqué sur la partition Vitement !

[@aloysiaha2899]

Dreamlike and wonderfully played, I hear the piece repeatedly several times.

[@lepassantguy3520]

Une très jolie interprétation avec vous ici , que ce soit le tempo , le touché des notes , le phrasé , le parti pris presque tendre et tellement scrupuleux et respectueux de l'oeuvre .. bravo !

[@mattsarnecky2552]

This is played at the perfect tempo with a lot of emotion and beautiful dynamics.

[@sethdavid2117]

Much better at a slower paced tempo, IMO. Original is very prestissimo. Slow versions, like Xavier Jara on guitar, is perfection of this music. Ferrari was never the best driver of his own cars.

[@riccardomilan]

Eccezionale Eva, one of the most engaging interpretations of this song by Couperin. Bravissima!

[@joannawronska4100]

SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!!!!! Thank you for one of my favourite French composers and for an excellent performance, I've added this great video to my public playlist called "My Favourite Classical Music", again all the best from Poland, have a happy week. Joanna

[@lisbitsandpieces647]

This performance was the reason why the piano was invented; I didn't know a piano could sound like this, or that this piece could fit a piano so well; it's a match made in heaven (and of the currently 70K views about 2K are me). Thank you!

[@julioalbertoherrera1339]

The harpsichord, it existed before the piano...

[@basithamid4712]

Eva your sublime facial expressions to begin this piece combined with your exquisite playing make me play this every morning and many times during the day thank you so much for bringing joy and love in my life

[@florianpollack5653]

One of the most thrilling renderings I know of this outstanding piece of music - as if not from this world.

[@homhomtube]

Mysteriös, im ganz positiven Sinne, ist, daß es der Pianistin gelingt, in unter zwei Minuten 30 Sekunden ein Stück wunderbar zu präsentieren, das bei vielen Anderen in dieser Zeitspanne bereits gehetzt, gehudelt klingt. Vielen Dank fürs Teilen dieser anrührenden Einspielung, ich finde sie total stimmig: Chapeau!

[@SevenStarsAndHalf]

First time i hear it on piano. And again, bringing me to tears. Thank you.

[@Win5ton67]

Beautiful! Played with intelligence and heart. God bless.

[@chrishoo2]

Just so. Not more, not less. Beautifully played & many thanks for giving us your interpretation that let’s Couperin shine through.

[@lethalgiada]

I like so much this piece, and here 1:48 (this! 1:54 it is as if after the search for a moment it skimmed what it is looking for, but a limit prevents it from getting there: Les barricades mystérieuses 🙂) oh my... I can’t find the words to make sense of what this piece evokes in me. Thank you for your wonderful interpretation ❤

[@eardizzone_mus]

I know it's not an harpsichord, as historically should be, but I really love your interpretation, awareness of the piece and so the resulting sound from the piano. My standard reference for a performance of this piece, many thanks!🙏🏻

[@jozefmanik4890]

Eva Szalai tvoja interpretacia s rubatom a nadhernym kolisanim je naozaj krasna... Vytiahla si podstatu tej skladby bez zbytocneho rychleho tempa, ake sa bezne pouzivaju. V baroku presne plati ze rychle tempa nie su tak rychle ako v romantizme... Mas krasnu klavirnu farbu a zvuk. Naozaj kedze sam hram tuto skladbu som este nepocul nikde lepsiu interpretaciu Couperina ako tu tvoju a verim, ze od tohto skladatela to nebol tvoj posledny kus. Drzim ti palce v tvojej klavirnej kariere. Hras naozaj s citom a pochopenim pre skladatela. Prajem vsetko dobre. 👍🙂

As a classical guitar player, I first heard this song transcribed for the guitar, and I fell in love with it. I prefer the tempo you play this piece. IMHO, most of the keyboard performances play this piece too slow. Well done!
