Henry Purcell - Suite 4 in A minor - Mr Bellicanta: harpsichord

[@williamhuband7913]

Yes, "fine & elegant", but also a thoughtful rendition, very helpful to the listener ! Thank you.

[@theclavierist]

Thank you, as always, for listening to my playing.

I loved the Corant with the tiny bit of 'jazzy' shade, and the Saraband just resting here and there on the equivalent C major without feeling the whole major accord. Thanks for your fine realization and upload.

Thank you Riva! I've been listening to Art Tatum and Count Basie lately.. maybe it is subconsciously coming out in the playing. I think they had a good 'swing' back in the good old 17th century anyway, probably different from player to player. Unless, your 'jazzy' was referring to some harmonic subtlety?

@@theclavierist Especially in the corante - only shade of feeling. But Art Tatum and Count Basie are great :)!

Lovely!

Thank you Willem!

Wonderful! The prelude definitely sounds better with two 8'. It also brings some contrast between the prelude and the allemande.

Thank you Luuk! I probably played it 'better' this time, which helps :-) I think the different registration just gives a different mood to it, also by influencing the playing (touch etc..). In the older video it is more intimate.
