Hantaï on Bach English Suite no. 3 in G minor BWV 808 | Netherlands Bach Society

[@wolkowy1]

I love the fluent, modest, natural, non-manieristic way Pierre Hantai performs (as heard in the previous vid.), and his simple, direct presenting of Bach's Suite as it is revealed in this interview. It gives the audience a sense of truthfulness and certainty. as if Bach himself told us: "this is the right way to perform my pieces!" Thanks for this upload.

In general one has the impression that even the most famous harpsichordists are modest and relaxed intellectuals compared with the well-known pianists with their pretentious manieristic performances.

[@longhaulblue1145]

Excellent! I've always admired his Bach playing but this is a real treat to hear his thoughts on the intricacies of the piece.

[@bifeldman]

Wonderful to hear a musician of this level explain his thinking. A Horowitz of the harpsichord.

Where did you find the manuscripts you use in these interviews? I've been looking everywhere to see some but still can't find anything outside of your interview videos.

¡No sabía que a Johann Sebastian Bach le gustaba bailar al grado de tomar lecciones de un instructor francés! ¿Sabe alguno de los seguidores de este canal si existen videos donde se pueda ver cómo se bailaban las danzas de las suites barrocas (allemande, courante, sarabande, menuet, gigue, gavotte, bourrée)?

Salvador Olvera Cháidez Hay por ahí uno de Handel : Water Music me parece Chécalo

@@papettipapetti3550 Ya vi los tres videos, Gracias por la recomendación. Son todo un despliegue de destreza y elegancia. En cambio la Gala del MET hace alarde de una grotesca, ofensiva y decadente vulgaridad.

Salvador Olvera Cháidez Que bueno que te gustaron los vídeos, yo no veo la basura moderna, prefiero la belleza Barroca, saludos.

"We know that Bach, too, had had dancing lessons. He had a French dancing teacher." Where is this documented? Can anyone provide a source?

[@saidtoshimaru1832]

I suppose it must have been at his time studying in Lüneburg. Many nobles studied there, so dancing teachers (dancing was essential to noblemen at the time) must have been common in the place. I didn't know that Bach actually had a dancing teacher. I remember in Ch. Wolff's biography he mentions that children of noblemen studied fencing and dancing in the main school there.

[@CarlosAndres-qj3yv]

​@@saidtoshimaru1832 According to Boyd's biography, Bach knew one of the teachers in the Ritterakademie of Luneburg (as you say), one Thomas de la Selle -a former Lully student-, and Boyd sugests they could have played french music together in Celle. So probably Bach didn't recieved lessons directly, but could watch them, and even play the music used by the dancers. Well, perhaps.
