Gerolamo Frescobaldi, toccata seconda (1615) Marco Mencoboni Harpsichord

[@jdgidehaz5333]

I am fascinated: one gets the impression that this toccata is just improvised under our eyes!

[@kongradio9494]

Einverstanden

[@OfficialWorldChampion]

probably how frescobaldi wanted it

[@giorgiodecolori4206]

Grandissimo compositore e magnifico interprete. Frescobaldi meraviglios espressione del tardo Rinascimento e giovane virgulto del Barocco , anticipatore e dominante e pioniere di tutta la piu' importante musica del 700 , e Pater di Rameau e seguaci .

[@stevedavis7020]

Unbelievable, incredible, wonderful peformance. I now understand Frescobaldi.

[@yvesfeder1385]

A preternatural and instinctive understanding of this music at supremely both intuitive and learned levels! Not to mention the superb technique! Bravissimo Marco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carlosmanuelloperena7362]

Bravo

[@insulajupiter]

A beautiful example of maturity and interpretative strategy. He makes it clear that he has understood the hidden depths and makes them understand even those who listen to him. The harpsichord and tuning are excellent

[@liamsandal6360]

Why does he make it clear? Because his eyes are closed, and he sways in an affected manner?

[@insulajupiter]

@@liamsandal6360 Many performers play with their eyes closed to have maximum concentration on making the musical text clear and intelligible. In Frescobaldi it is not easy to make the complexity of his writing understandable. Try listening to other performances and compare them.. The swaying is a marginal fact that does not detract from the validity of this execution. Every performer has their own instinctive approach to the keyboard: it is personal and I understand that it can be criticized, but it is irrelevant. A performance must be evaluated for the interpretative result, the rest doesn't interest me.

[@liamsandal6360]

It's an affectation, just as Horowitz once said in an interview.@@insulajupiter

Marco - your performances are wonderful and inspiring. Your unique and free phrasing is particularly appreciated!

[@ericbais4073]

Noblesse oblige

[@VRnamek]

your videos are superb. Not just the magnificent repertoire and playing, but also the audio-visual quality and the fantastic golden-like photography. I tend not to comment much, but they are highly appreciated. bellissimo

I keep coming back to this video. It's absolutely fantastic! Thank you Mr. Mencoboni for your wonderful performances (also in the kitchen)!

[@carlosbuchlein]

The best interpretation of Frescobaldi in the world!

Superba esecuzione, senza orpelli inventati, eppur eloquentissima !

[@dmitriybrovko]

Great skill of phrasing. Thanks, maestro!

[@weile4u]

So rarely seen: harpsichord solo; hardly ever played with such perfection!

[@thilomuster]

Great! Real music, not only notes.

[@peter81mus]

Quelle facilité de Marco Mencoboni dans cette interprétation de Girolamo Frescobaldi! Un trésor du clavecin!

[@amberleewoodhouse5817]

So beautiful. Amazing playing!

Miraculous performance !

[@PaceYourself]

This is absolutely brilliant. Bravo.

[@MathieuPrevot]

I am hypnotized !!!! Wunderbar wonderful merveilleux !

[@shalasalazar4930]

I was delighted by the sheer range of emotions Marco invoked within me. An exquisite introduction, I'm quite sure I will be just as entranced by his other performances. I thank you for the journey!

[@rasohatskiy_andriy.]

Marco Mencoboni,you play very well!

[@errr8564]

Очень интересная музыка. Божественно!

[@estebanberetta1428]

Refreshing ⛲...thank you.

[@ronwalker4849]

bravo, BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO, MOLTI BACCI !

[@carlosbuchlein]

Sueño con que grabes al menos uno de los libros de Toccatas. Tu increíble comprensión de estas piezas arrojaría mucha luz sobre la potencia del estilo frescobaldiano.

[@christianl.7221]

Great performance!

[@danyliscia]

Marco, you who know Frescobaldi's secrets why don't you play more of his music?

[@markhughes7927]

Rather good - in both departments!

[@HndsumQuonquistador]

Absolutely beautiful

[@tysontsuru]

Bellissimo! Grazie

[@bbbmm1810]

Magnifico!!

[@alconcerto]

Superb.

[@Hamstray]

@christophebursens2627 you added this to a playlist for Harpsichords after Guarracino, but this is a copy of a Celestini, not to be confused with the other harpsichord that Marco plays, also by Livi.

[@carlolosito2850]

Grande interprete!!!

[@mathijs1987j]

Wonderful performance! Was i just me, or have other been confused into thinking mr. Mencoboni is blind; because of his habit of playing with eyes closed?

[@cromorno8749]

I don't think he's blind, but he close his eyes in order to be able to go deeper in the interpretation of the piece

[@nicoantoniopintus4753]

Bravissimo

[@marcolucca6241]

Impressionante!

[@eltiogottlieb.4911]

Maestro Mencoboni, muchas gracias por darnos este oasis de belleza. Quisiera preguntarle ¿La afinación de este clave es diferente al temperamento igual? ¿Qué afinación es esta? Saludos desde México. Sigo con deleite sus interpretaciones. Ah y ya cociné el Spaghetti Frescobaldi. Muy bueno. Saludos.

Ottimo allegro.

[@22heloise22]

Frescobaldi, why do all his songs sound like he was drunk in the most lovely way when he composed them.

[@SteveofArms]

It is supposed to sound improvised.

[@cromorno8749]

You are drunk if you say that things

[@miguelmarquez4192]

If i was a home player only would this be a better option for me than say a flemish double? For example less string and parts to falter and maintain? I love the doubles but dont see any use in the registers it its minor changes in a smaller room. Theres no one to learn from where i live so itd be a huge poor investment and loss of space but its something ive wanted and thats never gone away.

[@marcussfebruary9104]

I completely get here, where I'm from there are no builders and only 1 harpsichord and 1 harpsichordist in my city. And it isn't a historical instrument but a revival.

[@MrUseur]

sehr schöne Musik. zum Teil sehr spannungsgeladen. das macht das Stück zu etwas Besonderem.
