Perhaps the most exciting new classical artist to hit the scene since I don't when...Rondeau is a special talent!

[@peteacher52]

Try since David Munrow burst onto the early music scene a couple of generations ago.

[@hansneusidler7988]

Rondeau is a good Name for a muscian....

[@jonnyvega9918]

Yes, and a good one

[@xmlxml8126]

yes, it sounds like a composer of XVII th century

[@BachBottari]

he is suitable for playing this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmbVZ2yXbrObeZo

[@Nikioko]

@@xmlxml8126 No, it sounds like Rondo alla Turca. :-D

[@Iceologer]

@@BachBottari Sorry to break it to you but, Rondeau is a form, many french pieces utilize the rondeau form, its not just bach. And bach on a piano? thas a crime!

[@embenadorfinearts]

The clarity in the density of Bach's music exudes an immediately perceptible beauty, a rare balance such is the marvelous interpretation of Jean Rondeau. It is the time of the work at the height of its poetry, with tensions, storms and of which Rondeau plays with its own unique perception of time for the benefit of the music in its interior. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@smoothsailor5101]

Jean Rondeau est entièrement entré dans l'esprit de la musique du baroque â la fois structurée et divine.👍🏻

[@gypsytheif]

GLORIOUS MUSIC. GLORIOUS ARCHITECTURE. GLORIOUS BEARD.

[@rickartdefoix1298]

Yes. The architecture of the place determines the sound here. And so in the other places. Some of us were a bit lost about the other places particular sound. 😞

[@rudidantuma3197]

…such clarity and transparency in Jean's interpretation reaching and arriving into the sublime. Jean Rondeau allows us to fully appreciate the trans-dualistic nature of Bach's music. Bach would have been immeasurably pleased with this playing if he’d heard it.

[@PGoeth]

There is a special place in heaven, where Bach listens to his contemporary interprets and chills with the past ones... !

[@portugueseeagle8851]

Damn, I love how Jean can make music! He doesnt play, he makes music, that is the difference

[@Gguy061]

the clarity he brings to the musical ideas is like flowing lines brought out in relief of stone architechture

[@AnHebrewChild]

I like how you put this. He's definitely one of those artists who takes full ownership of a piece while still respecting it so as to give its composer a full voice. He finds that balance / harmony. Just a great approach to 'making music'!

[@0cer0]

Funny how I would formulate it the other way round: he doesn't make music, he plays it.

[@moseslim4983]

What will the composer think of your comment?

[@Phil99470]

@@Gguy061 Well expressed! I agree.

[@robparisien]

Best harpsichordist in the world. Such an inspiration!! Bravo Jean Rondeau! And thank you

[@jamesrawlins735]

I love Jean Rondeau but there are a couple of other harpsichordists that also deserve that title - Christophe Rousset. Ton Koopman still can play amazingly at 75, as can Trevor Pinnock.

[@vidselih]

And Pierre Hantai. He's great...

[@user-tz5gp4oz8p]

Местами лучший, можно сказать. Но кое в чём, например в исполнении экстремального цикла Скарлатти, проигрывает Ванде Ландовской (на которой я в детстве вырос). Или тому же дотошному Пинноку. Они так не торопились, и не делали мучительных иногда пауз. Быстрота хороша в меру.

[@virginie5676]

eh oui fantastique M. Jean Rondeau. Je découvre un autre Bach, et mesure l'importance de sa composition au clavecin. je pensais que le piano allégeait les pièces de Bach...et bien je trouve maintenant que c'est le clavecin qui donne force et relief à l’œuvre, grâce à votre interprétation. Merci.

[@pablograndelopez]

The work is astonishing it self; and your interpretation is really both virtuosistic and deep; specially deep 👍🏼. Really great. Starting new approaches of playing Bach much more freely. I used to love Andreas Steier as #1 in Bach’s harpsichord recordings, but you are wining that place too :-) . Increíble interpretación, por su profundidad y sentimiento. [just 1question: is the note at 0:12 intended or just a mini’’fail’ ? 🤔. Interesting harmony by that minifail if so in any case! :-)

[@SarumChoirmaster]

It's a shame he is not an actor. He would make a great Jesus! He has THE look.

[@ericarmitage9477]

Bach pretends to be D. Scarlatti for a few seconds starting at 5:55.

[@Mase251]

I really don’t want to criticize -Rondeau is a fantastic harpsichordist and everything - but I’m not sure if I like the way he plays this... I think we should imagine this piece as a composition of the early Bach, full of energy, hungry for fame, harpsichord and organ virtuouso at a young age who wrote this to showcase his skills and to “shock” his listeners. IMHO Rondeaus interpretation is too calm, specially in the middle part... I recommend Staiers recording or the one by Mortensen (on YT with video) for those who want to see, how it can be done differently.
