J. S. Bach-A. Vivaldi - Arrangement of Concerto Op. 3, No. 7 BWV 972 - C. Massini, harpsichord

Chiara Massini n'arrête pas de nous surprendre et surtout de nous charmer les oreilles..... Merci à elle !

Du très grand clavecin !

How beautiful! A really lovely performance of utmost virtuosity! Grazie mille, Chiara.

What a wonderful musician and what a wonderful woman! Today, I`ve listen this 25 times... Chiara seems to talk with us... with her playing, we can "listen" her heart... Chiara gives Life to the baroque and she "talks" about her own feelings... How happy must be the man she loves. ..

Gracias por estos minutos de belleza. BACH nos hace ser mejores. Usted nos ha traído un mensaje de equilibrio y plenitud escrito en el S XVII. Gracias de nuevo.

I simply love listening to this beautiful woman play the harpsichord.

Interpretazione molto interessante e molto "personale" con dei rallentati che non avevo mai sentito prima ne su organo ne su clavicembalo. Devo dire che sono molto indicati perchè danno dinamicità al brano specialmente sul clavicembalo perchè sull'organo si può giostrare sulla registrazione per ottenere lo stesso intendimento. Mi piace motlo il suono "pastoso" e "robusto" che Chiara riesce sempre ad ottenere con risultati spendidi.

Che meraviglia! Sono troppo ignorante per potere giudicare tecnicamente la tua intepretazione ma una cosa è certa io l'adoro. Grazie infinite.

Crazily playful, she must had so much fun playing it, and i had so much fun listening to it. For a little while, i felt like a child again.

Bravissima. Grazie per la condivisione. Il concerto di Vivaldi (Rv 230) è il n.9 dell'op.3 ;)

Oh, that's delightful! Thanks for sharing. I guess Sebastian learned the concerto format from Vivaldi, but took it a lot further. This is wonderful. Going through all these concerti listening to the two different versions. It's like a 20 course meal!

what a lively performace, great

[@davideberhardt100]

this comment from dave eberhardt- fabulous performance and wish more was said abt the instrument- who made it- so clear, such a bell tone- not like many harpsichords that seem muffled or poorly miked- Bach almost sounds as good here as on the piano which he certainly would have loved

dit is extreem mooi . . . .

[@redbrian3655]

@KISIMOV Bach arranged several of Vivaldi's concerti, as well as Telemann, Marcello and Ernst and others. They did much the same. It was considered quite an honor to have one master transcribe another master's work. It is only nowadays with these copyright laws that people have become selfish and want to solely own their own works have and no one else touch them. This same concerto is also played on the organ.... because I play it!!!

Grandiosa !!!

Quando un giorno, il più tardi possibile, mi presenterò alle porte del paradiso, e il Buon Dio mi chiederà: " Cosa hai da offrire per entrare fra i giusti? ", io risponderò: " Ho ascoltato e amato il talento immenso di Chiara Massini ".

es muy buena. quiero que venga a madrid.

@redbrian3655 maybe I'm a bit Communist, but you must consider that in the age of Bach or Vivaldi music wasn't intended for commercial use. The musicians worked for the great aristocratics or for ecclesiastical associations and they lived with a monthly pay, so they don't care if another musician took their own works. The famous "soggetto" of the Fugue in D Minor by Bach is taken by a Pachelbel's organ fantasy in D, for example. The commercialization of this times destroyed the good music.

Tes mains, Chiarita étaient des ailes en souffrance et des oiseaux blessés a la nuit tombée de ma vie Quel douleur quel triste coucher du Soleil te les avait dessiné ainsi en lignes de nostalgie et inquietude? Ne dit pas, Chiarita que sans Amour tu ne pourra sonner ta Musique Tes mains souffrantes m`ont fait retrouver ma vie Écoute! même les oiseaux morts ne tombent pas dans la fôret ils se laissent tomber dans le ciel... (un bacio! et à bientot, en Vienne)

The harpsichord has such a brusque sound to it when it is played solo. This piece has a potent quality to it, but is nonetheless beautiful.

[@KORNMUSIKde]

I don't know what to say - this can't be played better... Which instrument do you use for this recording?

[@askim925]

You should study some categories of JS Bach's work. According to jsbach dot org website, BWV 972-987 is keyboard arrangements of concertos by other composers including Antonio Vivaldi, Marcello, Telemann, Duke Ernst etc. And I think this music came from Op. 3, No. 7, RV230, not No. 9.
